President Trump on Monday gave an emphatic \u201cYes!\u201d to Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar saying in an interview that reopening the economy is not dependent on having a vaccine for the coronavirus and that keeping businesses shuttered creates its own health crisis.<\/p>\n

The president issued a one-word tweet<\/a> \u2014 \u201cYes!\u201d \u2014 linking to Azar\u2019s Sunday interview on CNN and followed it up with two more messages: \u201cREOPEN OUR COUNTRY!\u201d and \u201cTRANSITION TO GREATNESS.\u201d<\/p>\n

Azar backed Trump\u2019s desire to get the country back to business during appearances on CNN<\/a> and CBS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He cautioned that there should not be a \u201cone-size-fits-all approach to reopening, but reopen we must, because it\u2019s not health versus the economy. It\u2019s actually health versus health. There are serious health consequences to keeping us shut down, whether it\u2019s suicidality rates or if it is cardiac procedures not being received, cancer screenings, [or] pediatric vaccinations declining. All of these are critical health needs that are part of reopening the economy,\u201d Azar said on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union.\u201d<\/p>\n

Azar also reiterated Trump\u2019s remarks from last Friday when he said \u201cvaccine or no vaccine, we\u2019re back\u201d<\/a> during a news conference at the White House announcing \u201cOperation Warp Speed\u201d to develop a vaccine.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what the president was making the point on is \u2014 everything does not depend on a vaccine. We\u2019re committed to delivering a vaccine, we\u2019ll put the full power of the US government and our private sector towards getting a vaccine, but that\u2019s one of a multi-factorial response program,\u201d Azar said on CNN.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst is the testing that we talked about before, test symptomatic people, broad surveillance to find cases, surge and to contain. Also therapeutics,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

In an interview with CBS News, Azar said the Trump administration was shooting for a goal of having 300 million doses of a coronavirus vaccine by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a pledge, it\u2019s a goal of what we\u2019re going to mobilize the entire US government and private sector to achieve,\u201d Azar said on \u201cFace the Nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The timeline contrasts with the view from Dr. Anthony Fauci<\/a>, an infectious disease expert on the White House coronavirus task force, who said developing a vaccine could take up to 18 months.<\/p>\n

Azar explained how the administration would reach that goal so quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re doing is wringing the inefficiency out of the development process to make the development side faster to get to a safe and effective vaccine,\u201d Azar said. \u201cAnd at the same time, we\u2019re going to scale up commercial-sized manufacturing to produce hundreds of millions of doses at risk. They may not pan out. They might not prove to be safe and effective, but we\u2019ll have it so we can begin administration right away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
