This comes as Politico has revealed a Trump appointee within the Department of Health and Human Services has attempted to prevent Dr. Fauci from discussing the risks coronavirus poses to children during recent media interviews. In newly disclosed emails, the official falsely claims there is zero evidence that children spread the virus to others.

On Wednesday, National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins testified on Capitol Hill and responded to concerns that the Trump administration would rush approval of a vaccine prior to the election before it is fully tested.

Dr. Francis Collins: “And certainly, to try to predict whether it happens on a particular week, before or after a particular date in early November, is well beyond anything that any scientist right now could tell you and be confident that they know what they’re saying. So, yes, science, and science alone, will be the way in which this decision is made; otherwise, I’ll have no part of it.”
