Good morning to you anthony. Two former Senior Administration officials tell cbs news that scientists are being pressured to work on an accelerated timeline. And that the white house cares more about messaging than sharing Public Safety information. One source said the biggest concern is that leads to an unnecessary delay in getting out information that is critical to saving lives. We will deliver a safe and effective vaccine before the end of the year. President trump once again pushed his claim that the general public will have access to a Coronavirus Vaccine within weeks.

Reporter and as he has done with past officials who have spoken out against the administration, the president questioned troyes credibility. She has nothing to do with me. I dont know her. I never met her. Reporter dr. Fauci, on the other hand, worked with troye. I like that she was a good person. She was important to the team. Reporter a white house statement, the Vice President and general keith kellogg, troyes supervisor all described her as disgruntled. This all comes as cbs news confirms it was white house officials and those from the department of health and human services, not cdc scientists, who made the recommendation last month to change guidelines to say that asymptomatic people shouldnt be tested, even if they are exposed to somebody who is tested positive. Tony . Thats exactly what people are worried about, weijia. Thank you. At a drivein town hall in pennsylvania, joe biden faced tough questions last night on his own plan to deal with the pandemic. He said we should listen to scientists to get the country back to normal. But his answers also clarified his view on a National Mask mandate. Ed okeefe reports. Mr. Vice president reporter one after the other, pennsylvania voters asked joe biden what hed do differently to address the coronavirus pandemic. What plan do you have in place to keep us from contracting covid19 virus in our workplace . That requires us to have rapid testing, protective gear available from the very beginning, like this president hasnt done. How will you get the proper messaging out to all americans to keep them informed . What president s say matter. People listen. I will make it clear what is needed to be done. Reporter one thing biden wants americans to do is wear a mask, but his stance on that has changed. First he call for a national mandate. Lets institute a mask mandate nationwide starting immediately. But what we asked him to clarify his stance earlier this month, he conceded he might not have the authority. You cant do things the constitution doesnt allow you the power to do. Reporter so last night biden said hed mandate masks on federal property. If you are on federal land, you must wear a mask. In a federal building, you must wear a mask, and we can have a fine for them not doing it. Look, this is about saving peoples lives. Reporter biden said its an irresponsible Trump Administration thats cost people their rights. You lost your freedom because he didnt act. The freedom to go to that ball game. The freedom of your kid to go to school. The freedom to see your mom or dad in the hospital. The freedom just to walk around your neighborhood. Because of failure to act responsibly. Reporter the former Vice President was also asked about a major issue in battleground, pennsylvania. Hydraulic fracking. A cbs poll found voters split on the issue,e, largely along part lines. In the past, biden has said he wants to move away from fracking. Last night he said that could happen gradually. Fracking has to continue because we need to transition. Were going to get to net zero emissions by 2050, and well get to net zero power emissions by 2035. But theres no rationale to eliminate, right now, fracking. Reporte later today, biden and the president are both here in minnesota where early voting begins today. More specifically, in northern minnesota, a battleground region within this battleground state. Polls show joe biden winning the land of 10,000 lakes, but the president s really eager to do so having lost here by just one point four years ago. Biden will be meeting with Union Workers in duluth and the president will be holding an airport rally. Every vote is going to make a difference. 46 days and counting. You know that, ed okeefe.
