THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you all. Dr. Fauci, thanks for your leadership, thanks for being here.
Two weeks ago, I spent some time with you and Dr. Francis Collins excuse me the Director of the National Institute of Health, at NIH, and gave me a tour of the Vaccine Research Center in Bethesda, Maryland. And it’s the place where our top scientists spend years researching and developing vaccines and treatments of all kinds of for all kinds of viruses.
The brilliant team there made possible the rapid deployment and development of COVID-19 vaccines, and they’re truly remarkable. And this administration will follow the science to deliver more breakthroughs.
