Trump to appoint 2 vaccine officials

As he ramps up his push to reopen the country, President Donald Trump on Friday will announce two people who will lead his administration's effort to develop a coronavirus vaccine, the White House said Friday morning.

The announcement comes one day after ousted vaccine chief Rick Bright said there are no plans to distribute a vaccine on an equitable scale and called the timeline of 12 to 18 months being presented "an aggressive schedule."

"A lot of optimism is swirling around a 12-to-18-month time frame if everything goes perfectly. We've never seen everything go perfectly," Bright said Thursday before House lawmakers. "I think it's going to take longer than that to do so."

On the House floor Friday, members are practicing social distancing and some are wearing masks to vote on a historic proxy voting measure and $3 trillion coronavirus relief package — the largest relief bill in U.S. history — which includes another round of direct payments to Americans.

Judging by his entire past record, whomever he picks will be the worst qualified or out to prevent the vaccine from either being developed or safe.

We're onto that jazz, Man!

Who will he fire as he sits behind a desk looking like he has a fucking clue about anything.

He's taken "fake it til you make it" all the way to Pennsylvania Ave.

I will never forgive Donnie Shit for Brains moron voters for requiring me to take seriously, a man that I know in my bones, should NEVER be taken seriously.

...he appoints vaccine chiefs. Maybe when we get to 100,000 deaths he will think about having a test czar?
