Here are the latest developments in the government response:
Trump to unveil two officials to oversee vaccine development today, White House says

Trump is expected to announce Friday that former pharmaceutical executive Moncef Slaoui will lead vaccine development, according to two senior White House officials. Army Gen. Gustave Perna, the commander of United States Army Materiel Command, is expected to work alongside Slaoui, one official said.

The Associated Press first reported Slaoui and Perna’s expected roles on Wednesday. Slaoui previously served as an executive at GlaxoSmithKline.

Previewing Trump’s noon Rose Garden event, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told reporters Friday morning that “he’ll be unveiling two professionals who will be leading the effort.”

“Today he will talk about how health professionals and the military and others, the public sector, the private sector, will be fully engaged in the development of this vaccine at warp speed,” Conway said.

The administration has termed its COVID-19 vaccination development program “Operation Warp Speed.”

“The two new people that the president will be announcing are professionals who are going to help with the vaccination development and indeed are,” she said. “I think you’ll see (Defense) Secretary (Mark) Esper there, for example, and General Mark Milley, because the military’s involved as well.”

In an interview with Fox Business that aired Thursday,
From the article:

President Trump said he plans to mobilize the U.S. military to distribute the vaccine when one becomes available, focusing first on older Americans who are among the most at risk.

“I just literally left a meeting. We’re are mobilizing our military — and other forces, but we are mobilizing our military on the basis that we do have a vaccine,” he said. “Our military is now being mobilized so at the end of the year, we’re going to be able to give it to a lot of people very, very rapidly.”

I’ve read that statement from Trump you posted several times and he appears to be saying that we DO have a vaccine.

If he didn’t misspeak he’s gone WAY out on a limb with that.

POTUS talking LIVE, now, about vaccine....standing w/Dr Fauxchi, Dr Scarf, et al....FDA Hahn, Azar....

I watched Secy Azar’s interview, on FoxBiz, this morning....where Azar said (and, Stuart totally missed it) that DR FAUX-CHI has a vaccine that will be ready this fall.

STOP THE TAPE!!!

WTHeck????

Everyone needs to get on the horn, social media, etc., and ask why on God’s green Earth would this fraud be allowed to ‘have a vaccine’, after all of the corruption/gaffes/misinformation/connections to Gates, etc., he’s had.

NO ONE in govt should EVER be allowed to profit off of ANY drug/trial/vaccine, etc.

The Bayh-Dole Act needs to be repealed, NOW (this is the Act that allowed govt employees to begin profiting off of their govt funded discoveries).

Saw this, on FoxBiz.....

Large scale vaccine testing expected by July: NIH director
The goal is to have 300M doses available to distribute to Americans by January

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/vaccine-testing-by-july-nih-director

And, here is the Maria Bartoromo interview, where POTUS mentions the vaccine, mobilizing our military and....special syringes.....

Begin at 13:28

Just sign a flipping EO, as Dr Zelenko has suggested, allowing Docs all across the country to Rx and pharmacies to dispense the HCQ protocol.

Listening live now and he said he hopes by the end of the year. I’m leaving my own editorial comments out.

I watched it yesterday. He didn’t say mandatory vaccination, but the article said it would be given to the high-risk people first. I hope someone asks him about mandatory vaccination. I won’t be taking it and neither will my kids.

I didn’t hear mandatory, either....I heard....given to ‘most of the population’.

He (POTUS) sounds very excited about it, on his presser, right now.

Congratulates all of the people there with him, now.

Terrible optics for Fauci, Birx and that other guy to be wearing masks. If they want to project fear to America, do it off camera.

WHY ARE YOU EVEN TAKING QUESTIONS FROM THESE PEOPLE, President Trump?

Love the sound of the trucks, by the way.

President just said vaccine available for whoever wants it, not mandatory, says some people will choose not to get it.

what is the background noise too?

Is it the ever so intolerant liberals being childish by honking horns?

Why not the simple direct question, “Will the vaccine be mandatory and if not will there be any repercussions if someone refuses it?”

No. Trump said it’s a convoy of truckers out there to support him.

He said “for those who wish to have it,” which says to me that the vaccine will NOT be mandatory.
