FDA Commissioner says he can't predict when vaccine will be ready after Trump's timeline claims
5 July 2020 - Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn said Sunday that he would not make a prediction about when a coronavirus vaccine would be available after President Trump claimed that a vaccine or therapeutic would be ready "long before the end of the year."
In a Fourth of July address in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, Trump said that the U.S. was unleashing its "scientific brilliance" toward developing treatments for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
"And we'll likely have a therapeutic and/or vaccine solution long before the end of the year," Trump said.
