Fauci on #AstraZeneca temporarily halting trials of possible COVID-19 vaccine: "It's really one of the safety valves that you have on clinical trials... It's unfortunate that it happened, hopefully they'll work it out and be able to proceed along with the remainder of the trial."
Dr. Fauci on timeline for COVID-19 vaccine in the US: "The projection that I've made and I'll stick by it is that we would likely get an answer if this is safe and effective by the end of the year.... hopefully we'll be able to start vaccinations in earnest as we begin 2021."
The president continues to hold massive rallies where people are not wearing masks, including the president himself. Is it frustrating to you? — @GayleKing

Dr. Fauci: "Well, yes, it is. I've said that often... I certainly would like to see universal wearing of masks."
