Trump says coronavirus vaccine may be ready within four weeks

[left-of-center2012]

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (Sept 15) again raised hopes by saying a vaccine against the deadly coronavirus could be three or four weeks away, despite cautionary notes sounded by some US public health officials about that accelerated timeline.

“We’re very close to having a vaccine,” he said. “If you want to know the truth, the previous administration would have taken perhaps years to have a vaccine because of the FDA and all the approvals. And we’re within weeks of getting it... Could be three weeks, four weeks.”

Earlier this month, top US infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci told CNN ... “It is conceivable that you can have it by October, though I don’t think that that’s likely.”

Other experts say a scientifically credible vaccine will not be available until early 2021.
