Trump Says He'll Overrule FDA for Being "Political"

This is too rich for words - the White House to save the country from an alleged FDA "political" decision on a vaccine - but it probably sounds fine in Trumpland.

Got to control the message, as we all know being honest to the American people isn’t one of Trump’s concerns, even in a crisis

No doubt before the election Trump is going to announce he has found the vaccine, it won’t be true of course, but the last thing he wants is a bunch of medical experts telling Americans the truth
 
ignoring cnn for now - why does this vaccine need new rules? why can't the rules for previous vaccines be used?

Not sure but Trump seems to think it's a political move because it pushes an authorization beyond Election Day.
 
He may have a point - the process of getting vaccines approved is not a new thing. the risks are not new

Why the new process now?

Perhaps because it's novel and more testing is needed. Besides, I think they're considering it but didn't make a move yet.
