Trump wants to deliver a coronavirus vaccine by January.

The Trump administration has laid out an extraordinarily ambitious timeline for a coronavirus vaccine.

Operation Warp Speed, the government's initiative to speed up vaccine work, say it's aiming to deliver 300 million doses of a safe and effective shot by January 1. Creating a vaccine in less than a year would be an unprecedented feat—under normal circumstances, it can take a decade to develop a new vaccine and bring it to market.

But even if Warp Speed accomplishes this goal, most of us won't be getting coronavirus vaccines in January. When administration officials talk about Warp Speed, they usually don't mention that it will take months to distribute the shots across the nation.

Here's how the US health department describes Warp Speed, for example: "Operation Warp Speed aims to deliver 300 million doses of a safe, effective vaccine for COVID-19 by January 2021."

Well of course he does. Warp Speed is bullshit. His timeline should be when a viable vaccine exists. spanone Aug 2020 #3

.... sitting on? Trump was told of the coming pandemic in the late fall of 2019 and he and Kush-Turd went and invested in HCQ and their own C-19 test kits.

"Here you go - my present to you as I leave" with his pockets filled with tax-payer money and all of his golf courses in the black because of "our" 4-year investment in them.

If the MyPillow guy recommends it, that’s good enough for me.

Unless the ShamWow guy says the vaccine is safe... then I won’t know which way to go.

He can claim to have 'cured' coronavirus -- as he is escorted to jail.

And I seriously expect him to give certain states (like Florida and Georgia) all the doses, while New York and California would get nothing but broken vials. He'll put us in a reality show style competition for doses.

Corning swears they are up to it but it seems unlikely that vials, needles, and refrigerated distribution will be ready or available in just a few months.

I expect more of this. Talking about it until enough people think there is a vaccine. Literally selling people snake oil that doesn’t exist.

within the first six months that one is available. I will let others test it ahead of me.
