it took only 3 mo's from genome receipt to Phase 1 trials with Moderna's mRNA-1273...and it eventually demonstrated 95+% efficacy...and in those days, Trump was saying SARS-CoV-2 was either a hoax or would go away on its own by Easter...or when Summer came around...finally, when he couldn't wish the disease away, he suggested the use of Disinfectants or UV light as a remedy.
btw, Operation "Warp Speed" was just a procurement bill to put Fauci's and Moderna's mRNA-1273 vaccine into to mass production...without Dr. Fauci's understanding of mRNA technology, and long association with Moderna, plus his skills in navigating NIH's labyrinth of procedures for drug approval, it would have taken much longer to get those life saving vaccine shots in people's arms.
Baron knows all this...why he chooses to lie about it...only he can tell you...ask him.
