HHS Secretary: Trump's 'Warp Speed' Vaccine 'May Not Be Safe And Effective But We'll Have It'
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar on Sunday admitted that the Trump administration's so-called "Warp Speed" vaccine effort could produce hundreds of millions of doses that are neither safe nor effective.

(6,208 posts)I would hope the vaccine is safe and effective, but, for Trump and a lot of other Republicans, the main thing is to get people vaccinated as soon as possible, before the election if it can be done.
And, of course, it's not going to be free. There is a lot of money to be made for the first vaccine to hit the street.
The quality of the vaccine is irrelevant.

He had masks and ventilators held back before Plastic Ken or whatever could make $ off it?
What's next, Death Count Donnie Deodorant/C-19 Repellent with no warning labels?

(53,871 posts)The election is two months before the end of the year, and by Nov. 3 there will be 250-350,000 deaths by then. And that's a conservative estimate as there will be 100,000 by the end of this month with 5 months to go and crazies out there all over not wearing masks or social distancing.
We gotten to 100,000 deaths with self-isolation and many observing social distancing and wearing masks. It's just going to get worse without those mitigation measures.
Let's see trump and the repugs explain that many deaths as election day nears.

(69 posts)But I guess not. This is more about lining the pockets of Trump's cronies than developing a "safe and effective" vaccine.
