Trump announces that a vaccine for the epidemic may be available within a month
US President Donald Trump announced yesterday that a vaccine for the new Corona epidemic will be available within a month, in expectations that are more optimistic than his previous predictions, but he added that the epidemic may disappear on its own.
"We are very close to reaching a vaccine," he said during a meeting attended by a number of Pennsylvania voters, hosted by ABC News.
"We are weeks away from getting it, maybe three or four weeks," he added.
A few hours ago, Trump told Fox News, that a vaccine was possible within "four weeks, maybe eight weeks."
Democrats have expressed concern that Trump is putting pressure on health regulators and scientists to approve a hasty vaccine that helps him boost his chances of winning a second presidential term, in front of his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, in the November 3 elections.
Scientists say approval of the vaccine will likely be issued towards the end of the year.
