that he was"cautiously optimistic" about current efforts to develop a coronavirus vaccine, pointing to either"year's end or early next year" as potential completion dates.

"It is a sizable number and it is concerning and, of course, the issue of vaccines in this country has been around for a number of years," he said, while explaining that the FDA was focused on the"safety" and"efficacy" of a vaccine."I want to assure the American people that and provide confidence that we're on the job.

MarthaRaddatz I love the way the Federal government officials can't answer a simple YES/NO question!

MarthaRaddatz They were “protests”

MarthaRaddatz People are ignorant and don't care. And we think we are above animals...go figure.

MarthaRaddatz Right. 'Protests' had nothing to do with it. 🙄

MarthaRaddatz Well the media did portray the virus as being so woke AF that if you go out and protest and riot and align with their narrative, you're immune. NoJusticeNoPeaceNoCovid19

MarthaRaddatz LIAR - It is all the heathens flooding our streets - We know exactly what is going on and I pray that biz owners tell everyone to screw themselves and open their doors - This is PURE MADNESS!

MarthaRaddatz No questions on if rioting contributed to the spread Huh.... shocking

MarthaRaddatz it is just another lie... another military/civilian drill/exercise gone totally stupid... again... e'eryone knows it... the secret is no longer sustainable... it is less than a common flu season... and... e'eryone knows it... e'en the weak-mind'd are seein' the truth... stop(:~:)

MarthaRaddatz If you would have reported honestly about the massive protests people on both sides of the aisle would be much more concerned about the lasting effects of this virus.

MarthaRaddatz So why did YOU open them?!

MarthaRaddatz Um....didn't he have any control over this situation?

MarthaRaddatz The vaccine they are working on right now is more dangerous than the virus itself, which makes sense knowing about the details. It’s again a media, political and pharmaceutic ( also not to forget Bill Gates)money thing.

MarthaRaddatz As we tune into your show and listened intently to what was said, and in many Americans opinion, it is quite clear that Donald Trump have the control over what these health experts can tell reporters as well as the American public.

MarthaRaddatz interesting

MarthaRaddatz Obvious to sensible people. Trump and associates obviously aren't.

MarthaRaddatz

MarthaRaddatz President says one thing, FDA says another, this is downright frustrating. Karen is now very confused.

MarthaRaddatz So was he right or wrong?

MarthaRaddatz Hydroxycholoquine works

MarthaRaddatz So it’s not about flatten8ng the curve?

MarthaRaddatz The survival rate is accurate but the mainstream media wants to make it sound like everyone is going to die.

MarthaRaddatz Donald Trump is a sick and dangerous person who needs to be impeached for the sake of the nation***enough is enough REPUBLICAN PARTY MEMBERS.. He has destroyed what the party stands for & will forever taint it if we don't grab the reigns back' many members have left our party 🤬

MarthaRaddatz He’s a jerk. How could he just skirt the question without us knowing that he is just protecting his blatantly stupid boss. Enough said.

MarthaRaddatz Hey ThisWeekABC is branded as “With GStephanopoulos” But MarthaRaddatz hosts the show more often than George! ABC, Why are you promoting GeorgeStephanopoulos but not MarthaRaddatz? Shouldnt Martha get the benefit of extra promotion? I wonder what’s different? 🤔

MarthaRaddatz Dr. Anthony Fauci says new virus in China has traits of 2009 swine flu and 1918 pandemic flu', both virus which he held patents and profited from.' Fauci also neglected to mention his involvement with ZEKA virus and the Aids Epidemic in the 80's.

MarthaRaddatz They are!!! This is a senior citizen disease! The senior citizens have learned how to keep themselves well. Those with compromised immune systems have as well. Isn’t this something to celebrate? Noooo you all just want the nation depressed & down...

MarthaRaddatz ABC... the President’s ignorant comments mean nothing to he’s ignorant Racistican Party Members, they follow him like minions.

FDA commissioner declines to defend Trump's latest coronavirus boastsDr. Stephen Hahn, the FDA commissioner and a White House coronavirus task force member, declined to back the president’s prediction that the U.S. 'will likely have a therapeutic and/or vaccine solution long before the end of the year' That was some chicken shit stuff.. He's more worried about his ass instead of Americans health.... Trump lies about this because he wants to win the election in November before the end of the year. He doesn't care if there's a vaccine for Americans. Is the presumed 'therapeutic solution' one on the homeopathic model?

FDA commissioner refuses to defend Trump claim that 99% of Covid-19 cases are 'harmless'The commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration on Sunday declined to defend President Donald Trump's unfounded claim that 99% of coronavirus cases are 'totally harmless' and repeatedly refused to say whether Trump's remark is true or false. I wonder why he would refuse to say it’s false... A notion belied by administration scientists who estimate that only a quarter of those infected never show symptoms. This is what the cdc echoed and clinical studies are proving to be true , approx under 1% death rate , not to make light of that, but, the “ science” you guys like to support , says that.
