3/ Will @POTUS #Trump allow TV cameras to film him being vaccinated, as Pres. Gerald Ford did for swine flu in 1976? Will he lead by example? Or will do with a #COVID19 #vaccine as he has with masks, refusing to follow his own experts' advice?
4/ The anti-vax movement is already rev'ed up, attacking future use of a #COVID19 #vaccine. Meanwhile, the #Trump administration wants a "warp speed" vax program, w/mass use before Nov. elections. Leading vax candidates are new types, nucleic acid based.
