COVID-19 Vaccine Is Coming, but Not Soon Enough

Lightning speed means different things to different people.

In the interview, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who seems to be the most credible federal spokesperson on the COVID-19 epidemic here in the United States, was asked about the rapid development of a new coronavirus vaccine. As he explains, it is faster than anyone has ever done before -- BUT, it will still be 12-18 months before it is available. That puts us into another (should we get a summer break?) flu and COVID-19 season next fall with no vaccine for COVID-19. 

Dr. Anthony Fauci, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director, joined The David Webb Show” on SiriusXM @davidwebbshow
