    Trump's Vaccine Can't Be Trusted

    If a vaccine comes out before the election, there are very good
    reasons not to take it.

    True to the president's word--or threat, perhaps--the United States
    government is preparing to roll out a COVID-19 vaccine on, or before,
    Nov. 1, even though none of the more than 150 vaccines in the research
    pipeline worldwide have completed Phase 3 safety and efficacy clinical
    trials. In its mad sprint to Election Day, the White House has
    funneled billions of dollars into drug companies and ordered
    government agencies to execute their public health duties at breakneck
    speeds that defy credulity. Like most experts closely watching these developments, I have no confidence that a safe, effective vaccine will
    be ready for use by Halloween. Worse, I can no longer recommend that
    anyone retain faith in any public health pronouncements issued by
    government agencies.

    True, absolutely true.

    What a dismal state of affairs.

    C'mon November, c'mon.
