The left-wing U.S. media outlet Axios reported Sunday that Fauci’s boss, Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of health, said in an interview with Axios that the Trump administration deserves credit for its “breakthrough” speed in the development of a vaccine for the Chinese Communist virus.
Collins said the fact that “the Trump Administration completed the vaccine within 11 months of the discovery of the CCP virus is at least five years faster than the conventional pace of vaccine development.”
Collins went on to say that it was “warp speed action,” and “I give a lot of credit to former U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar, many of us didn’t initially believe there would be such an effort, and it was considered a Manhattan Project. We all use the term Manhattan Project privately to describe how difficult it is to develop a vaccine. The Trump administration has brought the departments together in an unprecedented way to test up to six vaccines in rigorous trials …… That way, if any one of those trials happens to work, there will already be a vaccine that can be administered. But that’s not how we’ve traditionally done it.”
Collins added, “Coordination and effort on this scale, and the enabling of Dr. Moncef Slaoui, simply couldn’t be a more important step. The Trump administration really deserves credit because it really kicked off a lot of action, a lot of coordination. Last December, 2 vaccines have been tested in humans, more than 30,000 people participated and passed the FDA’s rigorous testing process, a real breath-taking success. “
