“Listen To Scientists, Not To President”: Joe Biden Digs At Donald Trump
The showdown in election between candidates President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival and presidential nominee Joe Biden is one thing. Apart from that President Trump is having beef with many more independent entities in the country – the media, TV presenters, and even doctors and scientists.
Trump’s Democratic rival, Joe Biden has highlighted one of these rifts that the President features in. Earlier this week, Donald Trump suggested that science is not well capable of discovering the reasons for calamities, saying “science doesn’t know” what led to the devastating wildfire in California.
Besides that, Trump also took a dig at the director of the center for disease control (CDC), Dr. Robert Redfield, calling him “confused,” mistaken and that he must have misunderstood that a mask is a tool that guarantees more protection against coronavirus than a vaccine - which he thinks can be made widely available in the United States before the end of the second quarter of next year.
On one side, Trump distrusts his own scientists and doctors and in the same spirit, the health experts in the United States such as the leading physician and immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci who has expressed his fears about the safe availability of vaccines before the US presidential election.
The clash of thoughts between the President and health officials will seemingly go long – and Joe Biden wants America to understand that scientists are right and the President is wrong.
Via a lengthy speech on Wednesday, Biden pointed out that Trump is untrustworthy and that all the promises he is making about immunizing America before the rest of the world are all for the sake of win in the coming election. Calling Trump’s response to pandemic nearly “criminal,” Biden went into the layers of all the improbable things President said and claims he made.
Telling people of America that he didn’t trust Trump, Biden asked everyone to listen to scientists and health experts instead of listening to the baseless words produced by the President.
The Democratic presidential nominee said that as far as the vaccine is concerned, he doesn't have an iota of trust in Trump. He said, "I trust Dr. Fauci. We should listen to the scientists, not to the president.”
Trump’s comments in recent days have gone even wilder – he has promised to get the vaccine widely available in the country within weeks, which is, for many, a hard pill to swallow. The Trump-approved vaccine is expected to be available towards the end of October.
