Live updates: Trump, in reversal, now says vaccines available for all by April 2021
Hôm thứ Tư Trump la làng là COVID vaccine sẽ được tung ra rất sớm, có thể vào tháng 10 năm 2020. Nhưng ông Redfield giám đốc CDC nói hên lắm th́ vaccine sẽ được phát ra vào cuối năm 2021. Trump liền ra họp báo nói ông Redfield là bị lú lẫn.
Rồi hôm thứ Sáu th́ ... tẽn ṭ. Trump báo cáo là vaccine sẽ có vào tháng 4 năm 2021! Dĩ nhiên Trump cố ư quên những lời nói sai quấy của ḿnh. Trump cũng chẳng xin lỗi đă sỉ vả ông Redfield.
Và Trump tiếp tục tự đánh bóng ḿnh.
Earlier in the week, Trump challenged CDC Director Robert Redfield when Redfield said a coronavirus vaccine wouldn’t be widely available to the public until the middle of next year. Trump claimed Redfield was “confused” by the question and misspoke.
“I think he made a mistake with that statement,” Trump said Wednesday. “When he said it, I believe he was confused. I’m just telling you we’re ready to go.”
Trump said then that a vaccine would be ready in weeks and swiftly made available.
But on Friday, Trump essentially said the same thing Redfield had: All Americans will have the ability to be vaccinated by April of next year.
“Hundreds of millions of doses will be available every month, and we expect to have enough vaccines for every American by April,” Trump said at his Friday briefing.
