F.D.A. WTF

[dukkha]

The Food and Drug Administration is expected to announce new standards for approving a coronavirus vaccine in an apparent attempt to shore up confidence with the American people, according to a report.

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that two individuals familiar with the issue said the FDA will ask manufacturers to follow clinical trial participants for at least two months in order to obtain an emergency authorization.

Additionally, trials will have to show evidence surrounding more severe cases and older people, making it unlikely that a vaccine will be finished before the 2020 presidential election. Moderna and Pfizer each started their trials in July. The enrollment process took about a month with a second round of shots being administered after three or four weeks in the trial.

what?? did we not do "Operation Warp Speed" to GET PAST FDA red tape?? and get it out?

Could it be Biden and Harris have been talking down the vaccine? Or is the FDA ignorant of a PANDEMIC? both??

Polling has shown Americans becoming increasingly resistant to a potential vaccine. Pew Research Center reported last week that only 21% of U.S. adults say they would "definitely" get the vaccine, down from 42% in May. Meanwhile, the percentage of people who said they would "probably" or "definitely" not receive the vaccine increased from 27% to 49%.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of Trump's top advisers, also said the administration could see results for a vaccine before the end of the year.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere told Fox News on Tuesday: "Every decision the FDA has made during the Trump Administration has maintained the agencies gold standard for safety and been data-driven to save lives, and this false narrative that the media and Democrats have created that politics is influencing approvals is not only false but is a danger to the American public."

He added:

"President Trump believes all Americans should have access to proven, safe, and affordable treatment options and the rapid research, development, trials, and scientific approvals are emblematic of President Trump’s highest priority: the health and safety of the American people."

Relax.

"The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that two individuals familiar with the issue"...

In other words...FAKE NEWS at this point.

I think pretty much everything is the fault of Biden and Harris.

No, but "two individuals familiar with the issue" as a purported source raises red flags.

Can you blame them? Trump has more than proven himself to be completely selfish and untrustworthy. I'm sure you know that if scientists came up with a vaccine, but said it wasn't ready for mass use, Trump would have it released anyway.

yes I can BLAME THEM.. what??
if you can't get it thru your head:
Trump has absolutely zilch/nada part in the vaccine approval process
Trump cannot release a vaccine - only the FDA approval process does that
~~

which is my point. stop talking it down -that's why the FDA is doing the delay! to get public 'confidence'

Look at what Trump did with the CDC. You really think he can't do something similar with the FDA?

[Charoite]

About damn time F.D.A. did there job right.

it would be nice if you took a few more keystrokes to tell me what you are trying to say -
instead of me asking "what did Trump do"

and no he cannot. he can make personnel decisions, he can order an agency wide approach like "OP WarpSpeed"
He cannot control the data or the operations, or the approval process

Wow, with a 5% chance of success, that could not possibly go wrong
