Tổng thống Trump bác bỏ lời của Giám đốc Trung tâm Kiểm soát và Pḥng ngừa Dịch bệnh Robert Redfield trước Quốc hội hôm thứ Tư rằng vắc-xin coronavirus sẽ không sẵn sàng cho công chúng cho đến "quư thứ hai" hoặc "quư thứ ba" của năm tới.
“Tôi nghĩ ông ấy đă mắc sai lầm khi nói điều đó,” Trump nói trong cuộc họp báo ở Nhà Trắng hôm thứ Tư "Đó chỉ là thông tin không chính xác và tôi đă gọi cho ông ấy và nói rằng ông ấy có thể nhầm lẫn và có thể nó đă được nêu không chính xác."
Trump đă nhiều lần hứa rằng vắc xin sẽ sẵn sàng để phân phối vào tháng 10 hoặc tháng 11. Nhưng Redfield đă nói rằng trong khi các thử nghiệm vắc xin có thể hoàn thành vào tháng 11 hoặc tháng 12.
President Trump disputed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Robert Redfield’s testimony to Congress on Wednesday that a coronavirus vaccine would not be ready for the general public until the “second” or “third quarter” of next year, saying Redfield “misunderstood” the questions he was asked.
“I think he made a mistake when he said that,” Trump said at a White House press conference on Wednesday in reference to Redfield’s timeline for a vaccine. “It’s just incorrect information and I called him and he didn’t tell me that and I think he got the message maybe confused, maybe it was stated incorrectly.”
Trump has repeatedly promised that a vaccine will be ready for distribution in either October or November. Redfield testified that while vaccine trials could be completed by November or December, the mammoth production and distribution challenge that remained would mean that most Americans will not be able to receive it for several months.
“No, we’re ready to go immediately as the vaccine is announced,” Trump said.
Pressed as to why he believed his own timeline was more accurate than that of one of the top medical experts in his administration, Trump doubled down.
“I don’t think he means that. I don’t think he — when he said it, I believe he was confused,” Trump said, adding, “I think he just made a mistake. He just made a mistake.”
