Tweets Of The Day -- Operation Derp Speed

Background news Item:

Medical professionals ― including Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s leading expert on infectious diseases ― have said that it could take at least a year to 18 months for a vaccine to be developed. Even that timeline would be considered breakneck speed.

Last week, Fauci told the “Today” show that he thought it was “in the realm of possibility” that a vaccine could be ready by January 2021. Fauci’s remarks followed news that the Trump administration had launched a project to spur the vaccine development process, dubbed “Operation Warp Speed.” The initiative’s goal is to have 300 million doses of a vaccine available by January, Bloomberg reported.  (our emphasis)

President Trump just said he “firmly believes” a vaccine will be ready by the end of the year.
