62% say they are worried they cannot trust an FDA approved vaccine for Covid

and only 38% say they believe the "worst is behind us" compared to 70% a few months ago.

Sorry i have no link, CNN just read these on air.

You can count me among the 62%. There is a race towards a finish line where a pot of gold worth billions of dollars is waiting for the company that comes up with the approved vaccine. The FDA is supposed to be our impartial firewall against corporate greed and corner cutting to get to the finish line first. With the FDA compromised by sycophants who will, by drumpf's order, have no compunction about approving a potentially dangerous vaccine prior to the election to try and save drumpf, that leaves us with only the hope that the developers will have been open and completely honest about the safety of their vaccine.

I had placed a lot of hope in the Oxford vaccine because I trust the UK FAR more to produce something that is safe and also importantly, ACTUALLY WORKS. So I am quite upset to hear they have had to pause but on the other hand... that also means their system of safeguards is working the way it is supposed to. Hopefully they get back on track.

1. Trump has destroyed the public's trust in government agencies.

By appointing unqualified people and toadies to head those agencies as "acting directors," he has thumbed his nose at the public, and they can see that.

So, instead of simply relying on FDA approval, look instead at studies that are released by others of the vaccine trials. People will be analyzing those and writing or speaking about the trials. Listen to them. Then decide whether you trust the vaccine.

Trump has ruined everything he touches.

3. Exactly. We will need a lot of healing after he is gone. I hope we can recover.

2. The bottom line is - nobody trusts anything from the Trump administration

4. 62% Of U.S. Adults Fear Political Pressure Will Rush Covid Vaccine

More than 60% of adults questioned in a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll said they were worried the Food and Drug Administration will rush to allow a Covid-19 vaccine onto the market because of political pressure; calling into question whether President Trump’s repeated proclamations that a vaccine could be readily available “sooner” than year’s end — even before the November election — is making people nervous.

The poll, conducted August 28 to September 3, found that more than two-thirds of those questioned — 81% — don’t think a safe and effective vaccine will be approved before Americans head to the polls in 53 days.
