Trump unveils vaccine distribution plan

President Donald Trump unveiled his plan for a vaccine distribution despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saying it may not be widely available until the middle of 2021.

Trumps comments came Wednesday during a White House press briefing.

This comes son the same day CDC Director Robert Redfield said any vaccine available in November or December would be in “very limited supply,” and reserved for first responders and people most vulnerable to COVID-19.

The shot wouldn’t be broadly available until the spring or summer of 2021, he estimated.

Redfield and other health officials testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee also emphasized the effectiveness of masks in stopping the pandemic's spread, given that no vaccine is 100% protective. The flu vaccine, for example, is generally about 40% to 60% effective against the annual viral strain.

Trump also called out his rival Joe Biden for saying while he trusts what scientists say about a potential coronavirus vaccine, he doesn’t trust the president.

Trump said BIden is promoting anti-vaccination theories.

The president also talked about Hurricane Sally that made landfall near the Florida-Alabama line Wednesday with 105 mph (165 kph) winds and rain measured in feet, not inches
