WASHINGTON -- The U.S. government's top infectious disease expert told a House committee on Tuesday he believes "it will be when and not if" there will be a COVID-19 vaccine and that he remains "cautiously optimistic" that some will be ready at the end of the year.
Last week, Vice-President Mike Pence published an opinion article in The Wall Street Journal saying the administration's efforts have strengthened the nation's ability to counter the virus and should be "a cause for celebration." Trump, departing the White House for a visit to Arizona on Tuesday, played down those comments, saying under his administration the U.S. is doing more testing than any other country. Trump's trip includes a rally at a megachurch.
Fauci, who heads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is joined by CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield, FDA chief Dr. Stephen Hahn and the head of the U.S. Public Health Service, Adm. Brett Giroir. There is still no vaccine for COVID-19, and there are no treatments specifically developed for the disease, although the antiviral drug remdesivir has been shown to help some patients, as well as a steroid called dexamethasone, and plasma from patients who have recovered.

Gfy fauci , your employer is Bill Gates , the modern day Josef Mengele
In a Fascists Communist regime, you will be forced to take the vaccine. In a TRUE Democracy, vaccines are your choice and only your choice.
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?🤣🤣
Oh look covering American politics again why am I not surprised. Nothing going on in Canada that people should know about right? No missing money? Nothing going on with our hiding PM? Pathetic
Unelected President Fauci says what?
No one even cares about the virus anymore, you see all these people crowding in the street? No one is scared.
Can the man speak English
He knows this because they already have the vaccine. It's been planned for years.
Yes he said that. 👌
