Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, told CNN's David Axelrod on"The Axe Files" podcast that the companies behind potential vaccines told him"that they would have doses to the tunes of tens of millions early in the year, and up to hundreds of millions as we get well into 2021, and some companies say that even after awhile, you could get as many as a billion doses.
Fauci also stressed on Thursday that he has"a very good relationship" with President Donald Trump, despite their contradictory stances on numerous elements of the coronavirus response."I am trying my best to completely stay out of politics. But when you're in a situation that's politically charged, it's kind of difficult to completely not be impacted by it," he said."I stay out of any personal involvement in politics, but I try to do my job.
