Investing.com - The Trump administration is reportedly asking states to waive certain requirements to speed up the approval for coronavirus vaccine sites by Nov.1, The Wall Street Journal reported. 

“CDC urgently requests your assistance in expediting applications for these distribution facilities and, if necessary, asks that you consider waiving requirements that would prevent these facilities from becoming fully operational by November 1, 2020,” the CDC wrote in letter to state governors, according to the report.

The move marked the latest sign that the Trump administration is seeking to get a vaccine approval before the U.S. election on Nov. 3.

Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA), the front runner in the race to find a  Covid-19 vaccine, was flat in after-hours trade, while rivals Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX), Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) were also largely unchanged.

Trump the dictator strikes again.
We don't want a vaccine. We don't care how many people die. We want Trump out.
Seriously, what? I don't support Trump but this is nuts!
We already pass monkey trails many times. It is testing on people at large. Chinese, russian, etc mil took it. Over a mil already vaccinated. None die yet.
Americans deserve what they voted for. if the vaccine isn't safe and it won't be 💯 then so be it.
I guess election is much more important than human life for them
Big red can shove it up his ...
Approving medicines in such a hurry poses more danger to humanity than the virus itsel! Hope saner minds prevail!!
Vaccine is ready!! In current situation 2 phase trials are enough!!
good one
he is not only a bad joke, he is really dangerous
democrats dont care, they want things as miserable as possible until november. even fauci has said m.ail in voting is fine, but the dems like to ignore it when convenient for them because the only way they know is cheating and corruption.
this is clearly rushed and dangerous. I'm a conservative and see this is ridiculous
Its gones alone with rest of their bad ideas
Quit trying to force a rushed vaccine on people. Let us make the choices with our health alone. I do not need government to control what goes in my body. You already control everything else!
people may not know this, but the flu vaccine has been around for decades and even with all that research last year the flu vaccine was under 30% effective. now they want to push out a vaccine that is even less tested and has less evidence of efficacy for something that we now know is even less deadly than the common flu for most people
Apples to oranges. The flu virus rapidly mutates and vaccine makers have to guess which southern hemisphere strain will be predominant uo here in the fall. Some years they succeed and some years they fail. SARS-CoV-2 mutates much, much slower.
Vaccine is ready!! And effective...
