That operation was started by President Trump in an effort to get a vaccine available to the public at rapid speed. However, that urgency has some people distrusting the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__StyledText-sc-1t31rwz-0 ixeUvg\">Scientists argue safety will not be an issue as the current vaccines in the trial are being tested on large, diverse groups of people to prove they\u2019re safe before they\u2019re offered to the public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__StyledText-sc-1t31rwz-0 ixeUvg\">However, politicians are using the vaccine to make claims that the opposite party is untrustworthy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__StyledText-sc-1t31rwz-0 ixeUvg\">\u201cWe\u2019ll produce a vax in record time.

I will not take his word for it. He wants us to inject bleach. No, I will not take his word.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__StyledText-sc-1t31rwz-0 ixeUvg\">Presidential Candidate Joe Biden said he wants a vaccine as soon as possible but also wants full transparency, \u201cIf I could get a vaccine tomorrow, I\u2019d do it. If it cost me the election, I\u2019d do it. We need a vaccine.
