  1. She has a PhD and should be referred to as Doctor! Regardless if she is a medical Dr. Or not she is a lead scientist helping with this cure, give credit where it’s due. Even the other Dr. Addresses her as such.

    1. soro iri typically we’d refer to them as physician/scientists. MD/PhD or DO/PhD programs take 8 years to complete.

    2. What does being a lead scientist have to do with being known as Dr. or not? Most PhDs I know are modest and prefer to be referred by first name only.

    3. @Jeffrey Witty EdDs and JDs are docs too. However, you never hear of our last POTUS go by Dr. Obama or Dr. President.

    1. @John connor Look guys you need to understand something……….this corona virus is a trojan horse for mandatory vaccinations………..and you do not want that vaccination

    2. @isaacisbestify Don’t fear the corona virus……………what you need to fear is the forced vaccination.

    3. @Ryback Smith “They will create the virus themselves and they will sell the antidotes afterwards, pretending to take their time to find the solution when they already have it.”  (Muammar Gaddafi)

  2. You know why she’s not among the scientists standing next to the ‘orangutan’ at the daily WH briefings? I’ll tell you why. It’s because she’ll make him look stupid, dumb (which he actually is) and inferior. Can you imagine the comparison between the intelligent response that she’ll give to reporters questions and the garbage full of hot air that comes out both ends of the ‘orange-haired’ one? On top of that, she’s black, beautiful, and bold (I call it B3) with excellent command of the English language. Plus she has a PhD in microbiology and immunology. He’ll never allow someone this smart to outshine him at the podium. He’s already having a hard time with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Ride on sister. Thank you for the excellent work you and your colleagues are doing to bring this nightmare to an end. God bless you.

  3. This is very good reporting of wonderful news from a real expert, Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett (and, not compared/relative to anything else, such as to what is not being done, i.e. to not good news). Thank you.

    1. @Mister Sinister – Ha nice, divert attention away from you and create division. That tells the whole story – Very trumpian.

    2. @redrock1963 kinda like the way the media diverts attention away from crime statistics huh? Do u ever wonder why?

    1. Jon Reed you do see it says Dr. in front of my name? Don’t you? YouTube don’t just give that out. I ain’t no lowly PhD expecting to be called Dr. either.

    2. Is she the researcher working on the vaccine or the research companies PR professional, she seems more advertisement oriented. She’s very pretty!!

  4. Trump be like:
    Today I spoke to some great tremendous people, the greatest in the world, made some phone calls with some people with high IQ, and made some tremendous progress, you should see the amount of progress I made with this tremendous people, it was a very good tremendous day and I think we achieved some great tremendous progress, perhaps the greatest progress in the history of greatness, overall a great day, the greatest most tremendous day we ever had as the great tremendous American people. Oh, and I’m #1 on Facebook 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    1. NikNicOnNYC you saw Sanjay wasn’t having it when Anderson gave him his turn he called her doctor right away.

    2. They give Sanjay the Dr. salutation because he’s a physician. Since Dr. registers as medical doctor for many us, most journalists only use it to address physicians. Dr. Corbett may convey that she too is a physician.

    1. I think that’s just his face going back to normal because his face has been frozen in horror for over a month now

    1. That strain was man made so my question is when will the arrests come or has it happened already without public knowledge, because its obvious who two of the criminals are and I believe one has already been captured allegedly she was caught trying to flee at an airport with 12 vials of the bioweapon called the covid19 pandemic, but don’t take my word for it do a little research for yourselves it will blow your mind.

    2. Describing covid19 as a coronavirus is like describing a doberman as a dog. There are many dogs and this one is a pincher.

  5. Could be available to the “general public” next spring. The upper class (millionaires) will get it this summer. 😩

    1. @Rolando Rosales It matters because there was a time we couldnt get education. It matters because theres still alot of discrimination, it matters because there was a time they would not even put her on the news. It really matters

    1. When people are dying by the thousands, food bank lines contain thousands of cars and the economy likely getting an infusion of about 10 trillion dollars of printed money, then yes, essential will be a word used more often under those circumstances.
