Biden stops short of anti-vax while warning people can’t trust Trump on COVID-19 vaccine

preview

oe Biden toed the line between doubting the effectiveness of a coronavirus vaccine while suggesting that President Trump is rushing the process to release a vaccine before the election."I trust vaccines. I trust scientists. But I don't trust Donald Trump," the Democratic presidential nominee and former vice president said in a press conference on Wednesday. "At this moment, the American people can't either."He called on the Trump administration to assure that politics will not play any role in the vaccine process, to release what scientific criteria will be used to ensure a vaccine meets scientific standards of safety, and how distribution of the vaccine will take place.“Scientific breakthroughs don’t care about calendars any more than the virus does. They certainly don’t adhere to election cycles, and their timing, their approval in their distributions, should never, ever be distorted by political considerations,” Biden said.Biden brushed off questions about whether there is a risk that his questioning of Trump could prevent people from trusting and taking a legitimate vaccine when it is released."Trust the scientists. It's one thing for Donald Trump to say the vaccine is safe. OK? Then give it to the board of scientists," Biden said.He added that if the criteria he laid out is met, he will take a coronavirus vaccine.Asked whether he trusts the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, Biden said that there are good people at those agencies but that they have been pressured by the Trump administration."I don't trust some of the people, like the fella who just took a leave of absence from the CDC," Biden said, referring to the Health and Human Services spokesman , who announced a leave of absence on Wednesday following a social media video in which he accused government scientists of "sedition.""This is the same guy who said inject bleach. This is the same guy who said, 'If you want to keep hurricanes from getting to the United States, drop a nuke.' There's a reason why they're not so certain," Biden said of Trump.Trump's campaign has criticized Biden for suggesting that a vaccine might be politicized, pointing to statements from CDC Director , and U.S. Surgeon General denying any politicization of the process and saying that scientific standards are being met.We all want a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible, but it needs to be based on science — not politics. Tune in as I discuss how we can develop and equitably distribute a safe and effective vaccine: — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden)
