Inside STAT: Biden toes the line on Covid-19 vaccine messaging

The current path to a Covid-19 vaccine is posing a conundrum for Democrats. Some lawmakers, including Democratic vice presidential pick Kamala Harris, have expressed support for vaccinations. But they've also said they don't trust President Trump or his process for getting a Covid-19 vaccine approved before the election, citing instances when they say Trump has disregarded the advice of government scientists and pushed treatments not backed by strong data. Republican lawmakers were quick to label Harris and others who expressed skepticism as "anti-vaxxers." Now, the Biden campaign is doubling down to say any Covid-19 vaccine will have to earn endorsement from apolitical scientists and outside experts before the U.S. public can be encouraged to get it.
