Trump’s vaccine claims do not address the ‘logistics’ of large scale distribution | Sky News AustraliaPerth USAsia Centre CEO Gordon Flake says the production and distribution of a coronavirus vaccine is “not a question of policy, it’s a question of resources, science, availability and time”.\n\nHis comment responded to President Trump’s recent claim 100 million doses of a coronavirus vaccine could be ready for rapid distribution by the end of the year. \n\nMr Flake said it was important to focus on facts as opposed to words, pointing out once a vaccine candidate had been approved, the logistics of producing and distributing the treatment for over 300 million people would be significant.\n\nHe pointed out the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Robert Redfield said when it came to vaccinating a population, “it wasn’t just a question of the date, it was a question of the process”.\n\n“One of the things that Robert Redfield said in his testimony was that the $8 billion budget that had been requested to scale up the manufacturing of such a vaccine hadn’t yet been approved by the congress,' Mr Flake said.\n\nImage: Getty

Media calls out Trump but doesn't fact check Biden’s ‘crazy ramblings’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says it's funny how the media love to call out Donald Trump yet never fact check the 'crazy ramblings' of Joe Biden as he and the Democrats continally blame the President for the pandemic, bushfires, hurricanes and floods. \n\nMr Kenny said in the US there is the “same alarmism over the same issues”. \n\nIt comes as Mr Biden recently labelled President Trump a “climate arsonist” as wildfires continue to burn across a number of US states. \n\nEscalating his attacks on the US President ahead of the November election, Mr Biden argued Mr Trump’s inaction on climate change is exacerbating the devastating fires raging in America's west.\n\n“How many suburban neighbourhoods will have been flooded out?
