The White House is reportedly blocking the Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines on an emergency approval of a COVID-19 vaccine in yet another seemingly politically motivated intervention in the FDA’s vaccine authorization process.
According to the New York Times, White House officials are doing so on the grounds that the guidelines would prevent the vaccine from being approved before Election Day on November 3.
The FDA is reportedly keeping its fingers crossed that an outside advisory committee will bypass the White House’s meddling and enforce the guidelines anyway.
The White House’s latest intervention in the vaccine approval process comes as President Donald Trump openly pushes for a speedy vaccine authorization to boost his reelection prospects, despite health experts’ health and safety concerns.
It doesnt matter what the actual facts around the readiness of the vaccine will be; he will announce it’s ready regardless. He literally lies about everything, this will be no different. No “outside committee” is going to shut him up.
I wouldn’t accept a donut from anyone in this administration. I’m certainly not getting a shot of Fascisium in the arm.
I’ll just wash my hands and wear my mask until grownups are in charge, thx
Of course they are.
Keeps with standard operating procedure at the White House, make an end run around your doctor’s recommendation.
Meanwhile, we get to wait out how that works out for Donnie as he gambles with his life.
These people are terrorists
Does anyone think that if they announced a vaccine on Nov 2, that it would make the slightest difference? Biden is now up 16 among likely voters and leads in every category including the economy.
