Redfield by President Trump saying redfied, who has spent his career studying viruses and heads the worlds premier Public Health agency, misunderstood the question when he testified under oath it will take until the middle of next year to vaccinate enough americans to limit the spread of covid.

And that disagreement has lead to a daylong fight pitting versus spin, the kind of political fight you might expect in an election year, only this time american lives and the economy are at stake.
