Was the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) PUSHED?11 Dec 2020 18:22
United States President Donald Trump said on Friday the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should "stop playing games and start saving lives," urging the agency to approve a coronavirus vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE as soon as possible.
"While my pushing the money drenched but heavily bureaucratic US_FDA saved five years in the approval of NUMEROUS great new vaccines, it is still a big, old, slow turtle. Get the dam vaccines out NOW, Dr. Hahn," the president posted on Twitter.
On Thursday, the FDA's advisory panel recommended the vaccine for emergency use authorization (EUA) in the US as 17 panel members voted to okay the jab, while four voted against issuing the authorization. However, the final decision is expected to be announced "in the coming days," Pfizer said in a statement.
