Trump slams Harris for trying to damage vaccine push

Source: Politico

Donald Trump on Monday suggested Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris is sabotaging a prospective coronavirus vaccine for political ends.

He argued that his political foes are using the unprecedented rapid speed of vaccine research to attack him, creating doubts that may mean people are afraid to take it. "Okay. Let's disparage the vaccine," he said at a Labor Day press conference. "That's so bad for this country. So bad for the world to even say that."

Harris told CNN over the holiday weekend that she would not necessarily trust a vaccine approved by the Trump administration before Election Day, unless a "credible" source agreed it was safe.

The president has doubled down on quixotic promises to deliver a vaccine quickly, suggesting it could come before the election even as his own science officials including the head of the administration's "Operation Warp Speed" contradict him. He repeated those claims at his news conference.

She's just showing the skepticism many of us have. Donny's pushed hydroxychloroquine, internal ultraviolet light treatment and other quack cures.

we would be mainlining Lysol and slamming down Clorox..a rushed-to-market vaccine with potential catastrophic side-effects (think thalidomide) because Donnie wants another four years is proof positive that he is an apathetic callous sociopath...Kamala stated the obvious...someone has to...

If people are reluctant to take a vaccine that is suddenly approved without any evidence of its efficacy, it will not be because Biden or Harris cast doubt on the approval process.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday accused members of the “deep state” at the Food and Drug Administration, without providing evidence, of working to slow testing of COVID-19 vaccines until after the November presidential election.

In a Twitter post, Trump said the deep state “or whoever” at the FDA was making it very difficult for drug companies to enroll people in clinical trials to test vaccines and therapies for the novel coronavirus.

The comment came after Reuters exclusively reported on Thursday that a top FDA official said he would resign if the Trump administration approved a vaccine before it was shown to be safe and effective.

“Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd. Must focus on speed, and saving lives!” Trump wrote, tagging FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn in the tweet.

We have vaccine candidates, and we don't know if any of them are safe and effective.
Trump's desire to get re-elected doesn't change that simple fact.

Are in stage 2 or 3, that means they have passed the safe. What we don't know is if they are effective . I wouldn't have volunteered for a vaccine trial in Stage 1 because I couldn't be sure it was safe.
