Safe and Effective?

So what?

Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary, Alex Azar, speaking today:

"Is the pledge 300 million Americans will be able to get a shot in their arm by the end of the year?" Brennan asked.

"That's a goal," Azar explained. "What happened is these drug companies and vaccine makers said it's all going to take this amount of time because they're using their traditional approaches."

"The president said that's not acceptable," he continued. "We're going to scale up commercial manufacturing and produce hundreds of millions of doses at risk. They may not pan out, they may not prove to be safe and effective but we'll have it so we can begin administration right away."

Well, then, we will have a vaccine!  But it may not work and it may not be safe.  Thanks, Trump.

I guess we should have just stuck with injecting bleach into our lungs, or taken a drug meant for an entirely different disease.  Because we so trust Donald Trump, the brilliant medical mind, to tell us what medicine is good for us.

"I really get it...People are really surprised I understand this stuff.  Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.”

 If you believe one doctor ever said such a thing in the entire history of the human race, you are stupid as a goat.
