Quotes:

 

“Frankly I am not surprised by the hesitancy and pushback.” 

“Unfortunately folks are receiving their information from the wrong sources.” 

“The average length of vaccine development is about 10 years.” 

“Everyone came together and got rid of the barriers to vaccine promotion.”

“Between the two (Moderna and Pfizer) in the stage 3 clinical trials we had over 70,000 people enrolled in those clinical studies.”

“In both clinical trials more people passed away in the placebo group, then in the vaccine group.” 

“We can let our hair down in the future, but we are not there yet.” 

“We can still be friends, and agree to disagree.”

“I think if you have complete transparency, it will promote trust.”
