Today's earlier press briefing POTUS tells us that work on the vaccine started in JANUARY of this year. Funny timing isn't it?
Now, if we look at the timeline of events starting from the "outbreak" in Wuhan China early December of 2019, From then on until LATE January the Chinese government "downplayed" the potential for the disease to spread.
Taking a look back, The World Health Organization (WHO) reinforced China’s falsehoods, saying on Jan. 14 that “Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in Wuhan, China.” On Jan. 17, the CDC stated that, “based on current information, the risk from 2019-nCoV to the American public is currently deemed to be low.”
On Jan. 21, the first case of coronavirus in the United States was reported, of a man who had traveled from Wuhan, China. That is the case POTUS referred to the next day. Jan. 24: The CDC confirmed the second U.S. case of coronavirus, adding again that “based on what we know right now, the immediate risk to America remains low.” On Jan. 28, the WHO praised China for its “speed and openness” in dealing with the virus. The same day, President Trump expanded U.S. airport screenings to identify travelers showing symptoms and instituted mandatory quarantines.
On Jan. 30, the WHO declared a global health emergency of international concern.
On Jan. 30, the CDC confirmed publicly for the first time the person-to-person spread of Wuhan virus and applauded WHO’s decision. That day, the president created the White House Coronavirus Task Force to coordinate efforts regarding this new disease.
The next day, Jan. 31, the president declared coronavirus a U.S. public health emergency and issued the ban on travel between the United States and China. On that same day, the Senate voted on the production of additional documents in the impeachment trial of President Trump. Campaigning in Iowa that day, Biden criticized President Trump’s China travel ban, saying during an Iowa campaign event, “This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia.”
So let's get this right…. The VERY LAST day of JANUARY POTUS was being CRITICIZED for his preemptive actions against the potential spread of the coronavirus, yet at the same time development for VACCINES starts when largely the media is downplaying the coronavirus, focused on impeachment trials, etc
WHAT did [THEY] know for them to start development in JANUARY at the same time they barely recognize the fact that it spreads via human-to-human transmission?
