Dr. Fauci Says He Assumes There Will Not Be Any Political Interference in the Coronavirus Vaccine Process

ACOSTA And numerous sources ░░░░░░░░ the administration are telling ░░░░░░░░ that the President is ░░░░░░░░ up pressure on health ░░░░░░░░ to deliver good news ░░░░░░░░ the vaccine front before ░░░░░░░░ November election Just moments ░░░░░░░░ President Trump said we ░░░░░░░░ probably have the vaccine ░░░░░░░░ in October Moncef Slaoui ░░░░░░░░ head of Operation Warp ░░░░░░░░ said today that he ░░░░░░░░ resign if he saw ░░░░░░░░ interference in the process ░░░░░░░░ you do the same ░░░░░░░░ Well I mean I ░░░░░░░░ not a regulator I ░░░░░░░░ I just do the ░░░░░░░░ I report the science ░░░░░░░░ an accurate way And ░░░░░░░░ if I saw interference ░░░░░░░░ would be very disturbed ░░░░░░░░ would call it out ░░░░░░░░ You would speak up ░░░░░░░░ I am assuming that ░░░░░░░░ re not going to ░░░░░░░░ any interference Of course ░░░░░░░░ I always do Jim ░░░░░░░░ know that ACOSTA That ░░░░░░░░ true But if you ░░░░░░░░ that kind of interference ░░░░░░░░ kind of undue pressure ░░░░░░░░ would speak up Fauci ░░░░░░░░ I would But Jim ░░░░░░░░ don t think you ░░░░░░░░ going to see that ░░░░░░░░ a lot of what ░░░░░░░░ re talking about is ░░░░░░░░ I think the public ░░░░░░░░ to understand when the ░░░░░░░░ come in on the ░░░░░░░░ results you know they ░░░░░░░░ into what s called ░░░░░░░░ Data and Safety Monitoring ░░░░░░░░ which is an independent ░░░░░░░░ of people who evaluate ░░░░░░░░ data evaluate the safety ░░░░░░░░ it and report on ░░░░░░░░ This ultimately becomes public ░░░░░░░░ anyway So I mean ░░░░░░░░ have faith in the ░░░░░░░░ that the FDA will ░░░░░░░░ what they promise And ░░░░░░░░ promise that they will ░░░░░░░░ decisions on a regulatory ░░░░░░░░ purely on the basis ░░░░░░░░ the science and the ░░░░░░░░ And I am counting ░░░░░░░░ them to do that.”
