President Trump said CDC Director Robert Redfield "made a mistake" about when a COVID-19 vaccine would be ready.
President Trump disputed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield’s testimony to Congress Wednesday that a coronavirus vaccine would not be ready for the general public until the “second” or “third quarter” of next year, saying Redfield “misunderstood” the questions he was asked.
“I don’t think he means that. I don’t think he — when he said it, I believe he was confused,” Trump said, adding, “I think he just made a mistake. He just made a mistake.” “If you’re asking me when it is going to be generally available to the American public so we can begin to take advantage of vaccine to get back to our regular life, I think we’re probably looking at late second quarter, third quarter 2010,” Redfield said.
In his press conference, Trump claimed he knew better. “Number one, it’s not more effective, by any means, than a vaccine, and I called him about that. Those were the two things I discussed with him. And I believe that if you ask him, he would probably say that he didn’t understand the question,” Trump said.
“I see that in restaurants there are people with masks and they’re playing around with their mask and they have it — their fingers are in their mask and then they’re serving with plates. I think there’s a lot of problems with masks,” Trump said, adding, “No, the mask is not as important as the vaccine, the mask perhaps helps.”
