"This is an unmitigated success and we should acknowledge that," CNN anchor Jake Tapper declared. "The Moderna vaccine was done with funds from Operation Warp Speed... and I think it's important that people working so hard... get credit for this. And President Trump was the one who okayed it."
CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta agreed, saying he "couldn't believe" the pace between the discovery of the genetic sequence of COVID-19 back in January and the first vaccine trials that began in March. It usually takes "years to really get these vaccines approved. It will be done within a year, so that is worth celebrating and now we have some early data to be very optimistic about," Gupta said.
Tapper added, "All of the scientists, everyone behind this all the way up to President Trump and Vice President Pence, congratulations on this great accomplishment."
