WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden’s scientific advisers will meet with vaccine
makers in coming days as the presidential transition remains stalled
because of President Donald Trump’s refusal to acknowledge that he lost
the election. That delayed handoff is especially problematic during a
public health crisis, the government’s top infectious disease expert said.

“Of course it would be better if we could start working with them,” said
Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases who has been through multiple presidential
transitions during 36 years of government service. He likened the
process to runners passing on the baton in a relay race. “You don’t want
to stop and then give it to somebody,” he said. “You want to just
essentially keep going.”

The president-elect’s outreach to the vaccine manufacturers comes as the
coronavirus pandemic in the United States has entered perhaps its most
dangerous phase. The seven-day rolling average for new daily cases stood
at 145,400 on Saturday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
That means the U.S. is adding about 1 million new cases a week, and
deaths averaged 820 a day as of Saturday, a 33% increase in just two weeks.

“We’re going to start those consultations this week,” said Biden’s chief
of staff, Ron Klain, citing Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies.

Why should Fauci stop? You think Biden will get the vaccine out faster than
Trump? Bull****.

Neither Trump nor Biden are in charge of getting the vaccine out, if you
mean by that, ready for use by the public outside of testing. But
Biden's team is developing what Trump never bothered with...a rational,
workable, science-based plan to distribute the vaccine(s) and whatever
else is needed across the country.


Our best hope of getting that vaccine to the masses is CVS, Walgreens
and Walmart. The government is just going to get in the way.

If Biden actually does "cut the red tape" (AKA short circuiting the
traditional FDA approval process) he is going against the mantra from
the democrats for the last 50 years that we need more government
regulation, not less.

That is the kind of thing you expect from a Libertarian. ;-)

You aren't becoming a Libertarian are you Harry?

If not, you will be pushing this vaccine out into 4q21 if they do the
typical, long term FDA trials. Will biden own any unintended side
effects from an untested vaccine? I certainly would not want to see
pregnant women take it. They seem to be the ones most hurt by
defective pharmaceuticals.
