Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Wednesday rejected President Donald Trump’s charge that he is spreading fear about the safety of a potential coronavirus vaccine, urging Trump to defer to scientists and not rush its rollout. “Let me be clear: I trust vaccines, I trust scientists, but I don’t trust Donald Trump,” Biden said. You can’t do that,” said Trump, who predicted at least 100 million doses of a coronavirus vaccine could be distributed by the end of 2020. “There has to be total transparency, so scientists outside the government know what is being approved,” Biden said. Only 15% of respondents said they would be more willing if Trump said the vaccine was safe.
