President Trump Claims Coronavirus Will Fade Away as U.S. Sees 20,000 New Cases a DayThe coronavirus pandemic will fade away even without a vaccine, but researchers are close to developing one anyhow, President Donald Trump said.
Were very close to a vaccine and were very close to therapeutics, really good therapeutics, Trump said Wednesday night in a television interview with Fox News.
But even without that, I dont even like to talk about that, because its fading away, its going to fade away, but having a vaccine would be really nice and thats going to happen.
Trumps comments come as the U.S. continues to see 20,000 new daily cases from a pandemic that so far has killed 117,000 people in the country. The president has called for easing restrictions on public activity that were imposed to slow the spread of the virus but that plunged the U.S. into recession.
Anthony Fauci, the head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has said a vaccine could be ready by the end of the year or the first few months of 2021. Were going to need a vaccine for the entire world, billions and billions of doses, Fauci said in online comments on June 10 to the Biotechnology Innovation Organization, an industry group.

(23,182 posts)5. I don't think for one second he believes it.
The waivers he's having signed prove his lie. He wants us sick and dying and in the middle of a crisis so his Russian hackers and voter suppression tactics really work and he has his militias all ginned up to kill libruls on election day because they are are trying to overthrow drumpf and if they are a minority are illegal. He is deliberately trying to kill us for his own profit so he can steal the election and turn us into the full on fascist dictatorship he really wants.

which are completely useless.
Which therapeutics does he want to subject us to next?
