CORONAVIRUS/VACCINES: “I deal with the biggest companies, most prestigious companies, the best companies in the world, and they’re doing [coronavirus] vaccines right now. They’re very close to having the answer and I think they’ll be very safe and very effective. And I think we can do it by November 1st, sometime during October, uh, and it will be a great thing– Or, or shortly thereafter.
It will be done before the end of the year. And also therapeutics, which is also very important, and in some ways, I like it just as much or more because therapeutics, you go into the hospital, you give somebody a shot or a transfusion and they walk out two days later and they’re well. So we’re doing very well therapeutically and we’re doing very, very well with the vaccines.”
