Wilmington: Joe Biden said that while he trusts what scientists say about a potential coronavirus vaccine , he doesn't trust US President Donald Trump. Trump and Biden have been trading accusations that the other is undermining public trust in a potential coronavirus vaccine. Biden, speaking in Wilmington, Delaware, after being briefed by public health experts about a potential vaccine, cited Trump's “incompetence and dishonesty" surrounding the distribution of personal protective equipment and coronavirus testing. “I trust vaccines, I trust scientists, but I don't trust Donald Trump," Biden said, "and at this moment, the American people can't, either." Trump said that CDC Director Robert Redfield had misspoken and that the U.S. could start distributing a vaccine starting in mid-October.
