US President Donald Trump on Monday unleashed another extended verbal attack on his opponent in the November election, claiming that the Democratic Party nominees Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, in his words, “should immediately apologize for their reckless anti-vaccine rhetoric.”
Biden said on Monday he would like to see a vaccine tomorrow even if it cost him the election.

Mr. Trump, holding his first news conference on the North Portico of the White House, said that, contrary to what he called “political lies,” any vaccine approved for mass inoculation by the federal government will be, in his words, “very safe and very effective.”
The Republican and Democratic Party nominees made their remarks as the presidential campaign turned to the home stretch on the annual Labor Day holiday. It’s the time when COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, is still killing about a thousand Americans every day.
