Every waking moment is about one purpose: saving American lives by delivering safe and effective Coronavirus therapeutics and vaccines, General Perna said.
President @realDonaldTrump just signed an executive order to ensure that the U.S. government prioritizes delivery of the vaccine to American citizens before sending it to other nations.
"If authorized, tens of millions of vaccine doses will be available this month . . . and hundreds of millions more will quickly follow. Every American who wants the vaccine will be able to get the vaccine."
"From the instant the Coronavirus invaded our shores, we raced into action to develop a safe and effective vaccine . . .
We harnessed the full power of government, the genius of American scientists, and the might of American industry to save millions and millions of lives."
Dr. Moncef Slaoui: We expect to have enough vaccine doses available to immunize 20 million Americans in the month of December and another 25-30 million per month after that.
Gen. Gustave Perna: "We have capitalized on the best contracting, logistics, and planning experts available to synchronize and integrate all phases of the operation."
The average development timeline for a vaccine can take 8-12 years.
Through Operation Warp Speed, we're doing it in less than one year—5X faster than the fastest vaccine development in history.
As a result of Operation Warp Speed, Pfizer announced on Monday that its vaccine is more than 90% effective!
"In July, my Administration reached an agreement with Pfizer to provide $1.95 billion to support the mass manufacturing and distribution of 100 million doses."
The Trump Administration initiated the single greatest mobilization in U.S. history—pioneering, developing, and manufacturing COVID-19 therapies and vaccines in record time!
Yesterday @realDonaldTrump granted Duke Tanner clemency after 16 years in prison.
Duke was sentenced to life in prison for a 1st time, non-violent crime because of Joe Biden’s 1994 crime bill.
We pray that you will do much good with your second chance Duke!
God Bless!
We are lifting up citizens of every race, color, religion, and creed.

The best is yet to come!
"Under the previous administration, it took 30 months to recover more than half the jobs lost in the crisis.
We surpassed that milestone in fewer than 5 months.”
"My Administration has approved over $650 billion dollars in forgivable loans to more than 5.2 million small businesses."
This action has saved or supported more than 50 million jobs!
It is time to allow Americans who are at lower risk of complications from Coronavirus to resume their normal, day-to-day lives.
"The cure cannot be worse than the problem itself."
"Our groundbreaking therapies have significantly improved outcomes for elderly patients, but I will not rest and I will not relent until all American Seniors are safe!"
“When the China Virus arrived, we launched the largest mobilization since World War II."
President @realDonaldTrump has slashed bureaucratic red tape every step of the way with the sole focus of saving lives.
"My policies have benefited those who need it the most.
The bottom 50% of households saw an astonishing 40% in net worth.
Wages rose the fastest for blue-collar workers.
African American, Hispanic American, Asian American unemployment all reached their lowest levels ever."
Income for Black Americans grew 9 TIMES more under President @realDonaldTrump's leadership than during the 8 years before he took office.
"My policies PROMOTE American workers." 🇺�ly
"Under my leadership, we will have a safe and effective vaccine before the end of the year.
We will swiftly defeat the China virus, end the pandemic, bring back our critical supply chains, and lift our economy to unprecedented new heights."
This morning, President @realDonaldTrump delivered remarks to the Economic Clubs of New York, Florida, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Sheboygan!
"You've just marched to the White House because you understand—to protect the lives of Black Americans and all Americans, you have to have your police support you."
Another 100 million rapid point-of-care tests will support efforts to reopen economies as quickly as possible, including testing for high-risk communities and educators.
