United States National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien on Sunday said China is likely using espionage to try and steal U.S. coronavirus vaccine research, but he declared American scientists would develop it first., O'Brien said the U.S. is going to"develop a vaccine first," after host Margaret Brennan asked him if the American public would be able to benefit from a coronavirus vaccine should China beat Western researchers.
"Now there's a chance and it's been reported that the Chinese have been engaged in espionage to try and find the research and the technologies that we're working on both for a vaccine and a therapy," O'Brien said."They've got a many, many year history of stealing American intellectual property and knocking off American technology and I wouldn't be surprised if they did that with the vaccines.
