US will have coronavirus vaccine by end of year, says Trump
Monday, 4th May 2020
President Donald Trump on Sunday stated that the United States will have a coronavirus vaccine by the end of this year.
“We are very confident that we’re going to have a vaccine at the end of the year, by the end of the year,” Trump added.
He also said he would support the reopening of schools and universities in September, stating “I want them to go back.”
The vaccine forecast moves up the timeline that has been discussed as the United States and other countries race to be the first to bring out a way to prevent COVID-19.
Trump declared he would be happy for another country to beat US researchers to the medicine, saying “if it’s another country I’ll take my hat off.”
“I don’t care, I just want to get a vaccine that works.”
Asked about risks during human trials in a research process that is going unusually quickly, Trump said “they’re volunteers. They know what they’re getting into.”
Trump seemed to acknowledge that he was getting ahead of his own advisors on the prediction for the vaccine.
“The doctors would say ‘well, you shouldn’t say that.’ I’ll say what I think,” he told.
