Summary
I want to see if we can do that very quickly," Trump said Friday at an event to highlight his administration's effort to expedite a vaccine, dubbed "Operation Warp Speed." "When I say 'quickly,' we're looking to get it by the end of the year if we can. "Even at the top speed we're going, we don't see a vaccine playing in the ability of individuals to get back to school this term," Fauci said. "I think it's clearly much more likely than not that somewhere within that time frame we will get a vaccine for this virus," he said. Other experts interviewed by ABC News have agreed with Bright, saying that developing a vaccine within a 12-month time frame could mean throwing normal scientific standards out the window, but added that a vaccine could be available by the new year if everything goes perfectly. Trump said Friday his administration is working on a plan to distribute the vaccine, including ramping up production of necessary materials and supplies.
