> So the reporter asked for a guess, Dr Fauci threw a number at the air Entire countries economies and planning involving whole populations like lockdowns and hospital equipment needed rely on knowing when a vaccine will be ready The fact Fauci shouldn't know when a vaccine would be available and would have to guess on the fly means I have not understood his position correctly. I take back what I said. To a non guessed timeline, getting a vaccine quickly normally takes 10 years, that's short. So a best super case timeline for C19 would be critical staff June 2021, the general population at best would be mid 2022, but very very easily there could be never a vaccine even for critical staff. I don't know who you want linked in these partisan times but John Hopkins put out a press release saying limited release might start end of 2021 and that's going to be really hard to deliver - https://wjla.com/news/health/researchers-warn-coronavirus-vaccine-delivery-distribution-problems-are-looming https://wjla.com/news/health/researchers-warn-coronavirus-va... (Random fact, the vaccine I just started as a guinea pig for is under a 400 day trail, even in the very unlikely fact it works and things are done in parallel, that's 400 days)
