The CDC Director Robert Redfield put one of the phony Democrat conspiracies to bed. Democrats claim President Trump has pressured the CDC to come up with a vaccine. The Director said it’s “absolutely not” happening.
Watch:
CDC Director Dr. Redfield was asked whether there was any pressure from the administration at any level to speed up vaccine development for political purposes.

Dr. Redfield thinks we will have a vaccine by the second or third quarter of 2021:

“If you’re asking me when is it going to be generally available to the American public … I think we’re probably looking at third — late second quarter, third quarter, 2021.” pic.twitter.com/sLqlFzx1Vu

ABOUT THAT VACCINE, THE MASK IS BEST
This next comment was strange. He said wearing the mask is safer than a vaccine. [The masks are dirty and allegedly the virus is so small it can get through. I am so confused.]
“I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine, because the immunogenicity may be 70%.”
If true, then everything should be open 100% with mask requirements. Why are some claiming we must wait for a vaccine? Originally, we were told by Dr. Fauci that they won’t work. Then we were told it will protect others, not us.
Watch the mask comment:
CDC Director Dr. Redfield: Wearing a face mask will protect people from COVID more than a vaccine.
