Bill Gates: We should be able to 'manufacture a lot of vaccines' next year
Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates told Yahoo Finance in a recent interview that the development of medicine for the coronavirus is “moving at record speed,” and predicted that better treatments will be available this year and “a lot of vaccines” will be made next year.
“During 2021 we should be able to manufacture a lot of vaccines,” says Gates, who along with his wife Melinda has donated more than $350 million to the fight against the pandemic through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — some of which has supported research of therapeutics and vaccines.
“That vaccine — a key goal is to stop the transmission to get the immunity levels up so that you get almost no infection going on whatsoever,” Gates says.
Gates, a co-founder of Microsoft who led early advances in personal computing, described the rapid medical progress as a source of optimism amid “a huge tragedy.”
“The only positive thing out of this is that the pace of innovation — the way our foundation is working with the private sector to create therapeutics and vaccines — that's moving at record speed,” he says.

Meaning it's probably not going to come quick enough to save Trump's sorry ass.
