MSNBC Contributor on Vaccine by November: ‘Science Isn’t Magic’

EXCERPT:

THOMAS: “But I think the one thing that strikes me about this, especially in that conversation between Dr. Redfield and President Trump, is it seemed like Dr. Redfield was saying something that I’ve been thinking for a while, which is science isn’t magic. These vaccines and these vaccine companies are moving at an incredibly quick rate. I think everyone in the country, no matter what party, wants a vaccine because that will perhaps get us back to something closer to the normal lives we used to lead, but this is not magic. And even if we have a vaccine, like, let’s give President Trump what he wants, let's say we have a vaccine by November or December. The amount of coordination and logistics that will be involved to get it produced and then get it to — out in the states and then decide is it the elderly who get it, is it first responders who get it first, is it children who get it first, whatever that is, is going to take a massive amount of federal government logistics to get it done. And it doesn’t seem like we are treating this as though we have a huge, huge project to do because it appears — because the President’s eye is only on saying things that will make everybody feel better before we get to the election."
