Unveiling vaccine effort, Trump says country will be back with or without one

CNN)President Donald Trump unveiled a crash effort on Friday aimed at developing a coronavirus vaccine by the end of the year but said the country would return to normal with or without one.

"I just want to make something clear, it's very important. Vaccine or no vaccine, we're back" Trump said during a midday event in the Rose Garden. "And we're starting a process."

The formal announcement of "Operation Warp Speed" came as researchers around the world scramble to develop a vaccine for the virus that has killed more than 300,000 people globally.

Many view an effective vaccine as the only way life can return to normal for people under stay-at-home orders or businesses whose operations have been limited. But Trump made clear Friday he does not share that view, insisting the economy is already rebounding as some states loosen their rules.

Even as he projected confidence that a vaccine would be available within months, he downplayed the importance it might have in helping Americans return to normal.

"We think we are going to have a vaccine in the pretty near future, and if we do, we are going to really be a big step ahead and if we don't, we are going to be like so many other cases where you had a problem come in, it'll go away at some point, it'll go away," Trump said.

Trump has pushed states to lift their restrictions and hopes for an economic rebound by November's general election. But even as he was speaking in the Rose Garden, the effects of the outbreak were evident. Loud horns blared from outside the White House gates where truckers were protesting deflated shipping rates.

And behind him, many of Trump's advisers wore masks, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leading infectious disease expert who Trump publicly rebuked earlier this week.

Trump remained bare-faced, and insisted the loud honking in the background was a show of support for him rather than a protest of poor economic conditions.

He framed the US vaccine project as an effort unprecedented since World War II and repeated his goal of developing a vaccine by year's end -- an ambitious timeline that his newly appointed vaccine czar said was attainable, even as other experts have said 12-18 months is a more realistic projection for when a vaccine might be available.

"I believe they are very credible. I also believe they are extremely challenging," said Moncef Slaoui, the former pharmaceutical executive who Trump tapped to lead the vaccine effort.

Trump named Slaoui, the ex-head of GlaxoSmithKline's vaccines division, to lead the effort alongside four-star Army General Gustave Perna.

William Shatner has discontinued his line of ladies underwear...

In hindsight "Shatner Panties" probably wasn't the best name choice.

LOL!

have you heard his spoken word album " Has-been " I thot it was funny

[Mr. Mike]

I didn't ask you, numbnuts. But, ok, please itemize said failures.

well, his biggest mistake was not being the governor of a state with residents who rarely travel, with limited international visitors and low population density.

What a dumb fuck.

I was just thinking about Texas and wondering if we’d start seeing bad data; including possible outbreaks from those Open Texas protests with dummy Alex Jones.

[DougW]

Shatner is Canadian? My whole conception of the world is shattered.

Sorry about that

[subtle plague]

And I'll take 5 Russians over 5 Canadians any day of the week, I don't care who's in goal. Probably a Finn (and those are kind of like Russians aren't they?)

As was explained to me by drunk swedes in a la grave sauna. They are not.

Finns, according to the rules set by the drunk swedes in the sauna, are the only ones still allowed to a drinking contest in scandinavia because Russians would cheat by being alcoholics. (meaning the Finns could drink more than them and they were impressed)

It seemed a very wise distinction while drinking beer in a sauna at 21 years of age.

Not quite itemized..but here’s some.
And I think sending infected old people back into retirement facilities wasn’t so smart.

But DeBlasio takes the cake as far as morons..

America was big but china is eating your breakfast

I don't eat rice for breakfast.

SFB you have fallen for the oldest trick in the book. Those Asians who are said to be eating my breakfast want us all to wear their masks.

Its mind control and by doing so we admit defeat and bow subserviently to the east. You should be wearing a Made in USA(tm) mask sewn by Gawd fearing patriots and fashioned from surplus XXXL panties donated by Walmart.

Before covid, I was always fascinated by the number of mask-wearers when traveling through East Asia. The whole SARS thing never really registered over here, so I never fully understood why people kept wearing them.

However, I can say that Japanese ladies apparently wore them outside to minimize the amount of sun they were getting. Something about again and avoid wrinkles to fit their standards of beauty. It might catch on in the US now...

You’re so obsessed with America you have to make up lies to fit your narrative? Or is your top infectious disease specialists who don’t have to answer to no president lying? Eh?

[AK47bp]

When our Dear Leader spweets we already know everything is a lie, so we learn to flip the rants into opposites to get the truth.

some interesting stuff^^^ this is how they can tell where the virus came from

[KQ]

then there's this guy..................Rep. Ted Yoho of Florida:

Congressman on why he's not wearing a mask: 'There's just no need'


Rep. Ted Yoho of Florida was spotted Friday walking around the Capitol and on the House floor without wearing a mask.

Asked why not, he told CNN: "There's just no need."

Told that the Capitol physician suggests wearing a mask when social distancing is not possible, Yoho cited no need because of "herd immunity."

CNN noted to Yoho that medical experts haven't determined that herd immunity applies to the novel coronavirus. Yoho responded: "Viruses do what viruses do."

Asked if he thinks he's protected by herd immunity, Yoho said: "I think the only way you're going to get it is to get exposed."

[old goat]

IMO two of the biggest mistakes made were:

Any mention that this Covid was "like the flu" and not requiring masks be worn in public from the start.

If we could go back and change those two mistakes things would look a whole lot different in the US right now.

Masks are important

Protected against pandemic AND plague

Finns are like Russians that nobody can understand and who prefer binge drinking over chronic alcoholism.

And who don't mind hockey pucks being shot at their heads or flying off massive ski jumps.
BTW Bordertown is a good Finnish series on Netflix, if you're into the crazy genius detective genre.

It's going to their heads!! LOL!!!
