President Donald Trump said at a September 7 press conference, “We're going to have a vaccine very soon, maybe even before a very special date,” a reference to the November 3 presidential election. Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, has said this timeline is “unlikely.” Despite the president's comment tying a coronavirus vaccine to Election Day, Fox's “straight news” anchor Dana Perino told Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, “I know that you're not trying to peg it to the election even though Democrats will say that you are.”
