A clip of Trump claiming COVID-19 vaccines could come 'relatively soon' led Pitt's Fauci to break down what 'relatively' meant.
'Relatively is an interesting phrase,' Pitt's Fauci explained.
'Relative to the entire history of Earth? Sure, the vaccines going to come real fast. But if you were to tell a friend, "I'll be over relatively soon", and showed up a year and a half later...
'Well, your friend may be relatively p*ssed off.'
Pitt took aim at Trump's comments about COVID-19 vaccines and his administration doing an 'incredible' job with the response

Pitt's Fauci then pivoted to Trump's comments about the coronavirus disappearing one day 'like a miracle.'
'A miracle would be great,' Pitt's Fauci said.
'But miracles shouldn't be plan A. Even Sully tried to land at the airport first.'
Next, Saturday Night Live tackled the issue of COVID-19 testing in country, which has been bogged down by lack of availability and backlogged results.
'When he said everyone can get a test, what he meant was almost no one,' Pitt's Fauci said.
He added that he'd hesitate to call the tests 'beautiful — unless your idea of "beautiful" is having a cotton swab tickle your brain.'
Pitt: 'And when I hear things like, "The virus can be cured if everyone takes the Tide Pod challenge," I’ll be there to say, Please don’t"'

'I know I shouldn't be touching my face, but...' Pitt's Fauci added, face falling into his hands after a clip of Trump played suggesting that UV light inside the body could heal the virus.
He also joked about the rumors that Trump was planning to fire the doctor after running a clip where the president assured a reporter that he wouldn't let him go.
'Yeah, I’m getting fired,' he said. 'But until then, I’m going to be there, putting out the facts for whoever’s listening.
