President Trump predicted at least 100 million doses of a coronavirus vaccine could be distributed in by the end of 2020, contradicting a top government health official, who Trump dismissed as ‘confused’

Hours earlier, Robert Redfield, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said a COVID-19 vaccine could be broadly rolled out by the middle of next year or a little later.

“No I think he made a mistake when he said that,” Trump said, telling reporters he called Redfield. “That’s incorrect information. “I believe he was confused. I think he just misunderstood the question, probably.” Redfield, head of the federal government’s disease control agency, made his comments in testimony before a U.S. Senate panelA vaccine could be ready as soon as this November or December, Redfield said, adding that limited first doses could go to those who were most vulnerable. But “in order to have enough of us immunized to have immunity, I think it’s going to take six to nine months,” he added.

Complete madness, hard to comprehend why he must make such false statements.

He did not say they would work

Confused on his job ?

It’ll be a placebo..what a con

That’s impossible. Why is it legal for the President of the United States to lie? How does that serve the public interest?

He is on the same drug Eric is on fucken high FLOTUS IvankaTrump realDonaldTrump

Oh so that’s the new narrative!? Attribute the primary trait of the candidate to the President. Ah. I see.

President Trump predicted that it would wash through like a wave by the end of February contradicting everybody with half a brain.

Dipstick Don again puts the question to the American public: who are you going to believe? A medical doctor or the Bankruptcy King?

HaHa 😂🤣😂 !! “Could” is same as “Might”. But not sure HaHa lol please tell something that “will” happen !! 🇳🇿

Do those come with complimentary UV enemas and bleach injections?

I’ll be glad when he finally fucks off

Hahaha

There are quite a few companies making vaccines. Hopefully he is correct.

What a load of old shit from Trump, as usual. There will be no vaccine in 2020. Period

Bla. Bla. Bla. Bla. Bla. Bla. Bla. Bla.

Quiet everyone, Dr. Clorox is mansplaining.

“Herd Mentality “ ....he wants “Herd Mentality “.....

If ppl r smart, they'll refuse the vax. Our Creator & Jesus hv told us NOT to take it: it'll cause immune problems &/or contain a chip. Once chip is activated u'll lose Heaven 4eternity.

Sowing misinformation and deceiving his cultists with public health at risk. TrumpLied200KDied TrumpIsAFailure

Actually what he meant is that he is gg to get 100m vaccines and then sell them on the black market to the highest bidder.

October surprise. Take ur pick: 1-Corona vaccine available. 2- Wag the dog war. 3- Law & order Nixon-ish style. 4-Conspire 2 create an attack on US 2 declare illegal war such as in Iraq 2003. Iraq had no connection to 9/11 & no WMD.

So if he spoke to Redfield and there was actual 'confusion' wouldn't the president be able to provide clarity vs surmising?!

Would you choose to believe Donald Trump again when his promise of a perfect healthcare plan since 4 years ago has not been implemented till date

The guy Trump appointed. Trump is a joke.

While waiting for that magic vaccine, how about some urgent measures.... like what pretty much all other rich countries are doing successfully... so that not some 1500 of your people don't die per day

What an embarrassment to the office!🍊🤡

He is full of it

jaketapper and DanaBashCNN this is why Biden said he do not trust Trump. On the Lead this evening you guys are pretending like Biden said something wrong. CNN knows better stop trying to suck up to Trump and do ur jobs.

PresidentLysol is a lying incompetentboob.

Obama/Biden botches the H1N1 virus when they finally got approval for a vaccine, only 23000 were available for hundreds of millions!

He will get it done

He lies, all day, and all the days.

A deranged, confused and dangerous man.

Trump calling someone 'confused' Now THAT's rich!

Vaccine from Russia? Pass.

“Maybe he got the message wrong” - if that’s not the most accurate description I don’t know what is. Sure as shit he got the message now

There's nothing he won't say to try and be re-elected

They have had the vaccine all the time, since the very beginning. they just wanted people to die everywhere before revealing that “warp speed miracle” medicine to the “death star” corona-virus they made. that’s their deeply devious and horrendously heinous 2020 strategy.

Donald Trump didn’t call Redfield. He makes up everything he says as he goes along. Then people lie to cover his tracks.

Well I hope Trump and Congress are the first ones to take the vaccine shot in public.

I mean if he said it will happen, it must be true.

He does not have a clue on how to distribute these 100 million doses. They might be manufactured but they can’t get it out in that time frame.The experts know this but Trump lives on a different planet. Trump must go!!!!

Constantly yet he's fit to lead, not wise.

As if anyone would think that a mask would be as beneficial if not more than a vaccine. No one with half-a-brain is measuring the two against each other

What happen to one day it will go away like a miracle realDonaldTrump

Well, what did we expect....He is an idiot and science will prevail. COVID vaccine that could [key word] by distributed by the end of 2020. Fully tested and is safe...NOT! Let us remember NOW and an his previous predictions, or more important remember 167,000+ lives lost.

Slow Joe said if he wins he has a vaccine and Covid will go away. So there’s that.

That’s a lot and hope they can do it. Trump is too positive on his numbers while the health experts want to stay on the safe side. Will see when it comes out.

Stop leading with the lies. What is wrong with you?

Better not trust the liar in chief and his minions, you will regret it bitterly.

No one believes that.

They’ll be part of his great health care plan

Sounds like something he might have seen on CNN or ABC.

He didn't predict it. He lies.

I'm not anti-vax but I would never trust such a vaccine until Trump and his entire administration are the first test subjects.

A vote for Trump is a vote for Law & Order and Prosperity! A vote for Biden is a vote for anarchy and lawlessness and poverty! VoteRed2020 VoteTrump2020 VoteRedToSaveAmerica
