Pelosi: Public 'confidence' key to successful vaccine
Source: The Hill
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) warned Friday that a coronavirus vaccine will be only as successful as efforts to get the public at large to accept it.
"Unless there is confidence that the vaccine has gone through the clinical trials, and then is approved by the independent scientific advisory committee, as established to do just this, there will be doubts that people will have," Pelosi said during a press briefing in the Capitol.
The race for a much-sought COVID-19 vaccine - by public and private scientists alike - has been on for months, but the issue has been muddled by clashing messages coming out of the administration.
Just this week, Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), told a Senate panel that a vaccine would not be broadly available until the middle of 2021.

(43,146 posts)Knowing people are skeptical - any "Trump vaccine" is really a political ploy. She hints at lack of confidence in Trump, and shows the public there could well be an un'successful' vaccine.
Pelosi is a master at word choice. She says so much by saying so little..

In fact, the longer it takes to be available, the more QAnon and Infowars, Fox News etc will promote fake news about it taking so long because it is being altered to include something sinister. Like nanobots to attack their conservative family values, turning them into raving mad liberal transsexual pedophiles.
