President Donald Trump again suggested that a coronavirus vaccine would “probably” be available in October, contradicting assessments this week by top health officials who have said it would be very unlikely.

Trump said in a press briefing Friday that there would be a vaccine “before the end of the year and maybe even before Nov. 1. I think we can probably have it sometime in October.”

The president's remarks came a day after the head of the government's vaccine accelerator, Moncef Slaoui, said that the government was "very unlikely" to greenlight a vaccine by early November, because data from late-stage clinical trials of leading vaccine candidates would not be ready by then.

"There is a very, very low chance that the trials that are running as we speak could read before the end of October,” said Slaoui, who heads the government's Operation Warp Speed, told NPR. “I think it's extremely unlikely but not impossible, and therefore it's the right thing to do to be prepared in case."

1. If that were actually the case, we should have been in the manufacturing stage for months now!

Also, the major drug companies working on vaccines made a joint statement today saying they would not be rushed into producing a vaccine that was not safe.

2. Trump: "... you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat..." (Feb 10)

February 10, 2020

Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape though. We have 12 cases — 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.

... This is going to end. Hopefully it’ll be sooner rather than later. ...

And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.

5. Just more of his bs to distract from the Military negative comments And Stars and Stripes debacle

The liar has to lie it’s just his nature. The only people who believe this bs are his cult members.
