When asked if she believes that public health experts and scientists will get the last word on the efficacy of a coronavirus vaccine, Sen. Kamala Harris gave something close to one of her running mate’s lines. “If past is prologue, they will not,” Harris told CNN’s Dana Bash. “They’ll be muzzled. They’ll be suppressed.”

Joe Biden said something similar in his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. “We’ll put the politics aside and take the muzzle off our experts so the public gets the information they need and deserve,” he said.
