Fauci 'cautiously optimistic' coronavirus vaccine could prove effective by 'late fall or early winte
WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday that he is "cautiously optimistic" that a coronavirus vaccine in the U.S. could prove effective by "late fall or early winter."
"We hope at the time we get into the late fall and early winter, we will have in fact a vaccine that we can say will be safe and effective. One can never guarantee the safety and effectiveness unless you do the trial, but we are cautiously optimistic," Fauci said in his opening remarks at a hearing before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis.
A phase 3 trial of 30,000 people for a coronavirus vaccine has just begun, said Fauci, who encouraged any Americans who are interested in participating to apply for the program. He also touted two treatments, remdesivir and dexamethasone, that have been used to improve people's chances of surviving.
Asked during the hearing if a vaccine is merely a dream, Fauci said, “I don’t think it’s dreaming, congresswoman, I believe it’s a reality and will be shown to be a reality.”

Don't think it will be enough to save Trump's ass.
