Remarks by President Trump, 16 September 2020

We’re on track to deliver and distribute the vaccine in a very, very safe and effective manner. We think we can start sometime in October. So as soon as it is announced, we’ll be able to start. That’ll be from mid-October on. It may be a little bit later than that, but we’ll be all set.

So as soon as it’s given the go-ahead – they’re doing trials, as you know – and as soon as it’s given the go-ahead, we will get it out, defeat the virus.

We’ve manufactured all of the necessary supplies so that as soon as the FDA approves the vaccine – and, as you know, we’re very close to that – we’ll be able to distribute at least 100 million vaccine doses by the end of 2020 and a large number much sooner than that.

I’m calling on Biden to stop promoting his anti-vaccine theories because all they’re doing is hurting the importance of what we’re doing. And I know that if they were in this position, they’d be saying how wonderful it is. They’re recklessly endangering lives. You can’t do that.

And again, this is really a case that they’re only talking – just started talking a little bit negatively, and that’s only because they know we have it, or we will soon have it. And the answer to that is very soon.
