Washington (CNN)Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Wednesday that politics cannot interfere with the development, approval and distribution of a potential Covid-19 vaccine.

“They should be determined by science and safety alone,” he said.
“One thing is certain, we can’t allow politics to interfere with the vaccine in any way,” Biden said.
