A vaccine will be available in October if Trump is able to override the CDC and FDA, and make it happen by fiat to help its reelection chances.
Its? (The trump administration?)
I have a strong preference on outcomes, which readers can presumably guess – but saying it outright wouldn’t convince anyone.
As a utilitarian, or as a matter of “values”?

  Who said I was a utilitarian? I am saying that I have a clear preference order, and one candidate is above the other (and also prefer a clear and accepted victory to a disputed one, no matter who wins).
  Its above refers to Trump’s administration in that sentence, yes.
