Defense secretary: We will deliver a vaccine at scale to the American people — by the end of this year

A big, bold, brassy promise from Mark Esper at this afternoon s press conference to introduce the new head of Operation Warp Speed, pharmaceutical exec Dr. Moncef Slaoui. I ve heard other professionals, including Scott Gottlieb, suggest that a vaccine could be available later this year for emergency-use authorization, i.e. for rapid deployment to a city where there s a major outbreak. But I think this is the first time someone in a position of influence has suggested delivering a full batch for the entire nation by year s end.
