CDC Director Robert Redfield addressed new agency guidance that urges caution if a person has even brief encounters --15 minutes over a 24-hour period of time -- with a person with COVID-19. This diverges from previous guidance that suggested that two people had to be in contact for at least 15 minutes continuously.

1. The vaccine doesn't exist!! What does this even mean???

[soothsayer]

2. It means drumpf is making them say this

But also that they’re manufacturing all kinds of unproven vaccines just in case they work.

Which is good and bad.

3. Exactly. What hell substance are they manufacturing??

There is no there, there.

4. I think there's four vaccines in the last phase of trials.

Any one might request FDA approval during November. Remember, these companies have been funded by the government to produce millions of doses as they’re testing the efficacy and safety, with the assumption that the produced product will be used if successful and destroyed if not.

6. Someone just died in the trials of one of them.

7. Bloomberg says an AstraZenica volunteer did not receive the vaccine

This may explain the Bloomberg headline "Warp Speed Chief Says J&J, Astra Trials Could Restart This Week".

10. The CDC became a tool of the Trump Adm. months ago, lies since... WTF would anyone believe them?

It's election time and CDC is required to bend over and grab their ankles for the Orange guy... not like they have not before. Lying sacks of shite.
