Original title: Bill Gates rebuked US vaccine regulators: succumbing to pressure from the White House, credibility disappeared Source: Overseas Network
According to American media, American billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said that the US Federal Food and Drug Administration has been hijacked by politics and is obviously under pressure to quickly approve the new pneumonia vaccine from the crown. According to CBS News (cbsnews) on the 16th, Gates and his wife have recently expressed their concerns through various media outlets and have detailed a series of errors that the United States has found in the face of the virus.
Gates blamed the “mismanagement” of the US government for this and criticized that this move would lead the United States to “rank among the worst in the world.” In an interview, Gates believes the key mistake is appointing neuroradiologist Scott Atlas to help guide the White House response to the pandemic, not epidemiologists or infectious disease experts. Atlas advocates the uncontrolled spread of the virus to allow the American people to gain herd immunity, but many public health experts, including Anthony Fauci, oppose this approach. Gates later objected to a recent move by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which revised its guidelines to recommend that asymptomatic people not get tested.
During the interview, Gates specifically criticized the Commissioner of the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States, Stephen Hahn (Stephen Hahn). The FDA conducted public relations in late August to exaggerate the efficacy of plasma in treating new coronary pneumonia. Gates described this public relations as a nightmare. Gates said that when a politician participates in the development of a vaccine, or a vaccine is launched earlier because of a politician, it will be very dangerous. When things happened, they went completely off track. “As a result, Gates said the FDA” lost its credibility in this incident “and has less confidence in the FDA than before.
Only FDA-approved vaccines can reportedly be vaccinated to the public, but recent surveys show most Americans are concerned that the vaccine development process is being strained. A Gallup poll last month showed that a third of people said they would not be vaccinated. Additionally, the White House announced on Labor Day in the United States that the new crown vaccine could be ready during the “October” period, which is a few weeks before the November 3 presidential election. Since it typically takes several years to develop a vaccine, the shortening of the time frame has raised public concern that political pressure could override normal regulatory procedures for reviewing vaccines.
The United States remains the country with the worst COVID-19 outbreak. According to Worldometer real-time statistics, around 8:30 p.m. on September 16 Beijing time, a total of 67,89032 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States and a total of 22,235 deaths. Even so, the vast majority of US public health experts have reservations about the rapid progress of the White House in the timing of the vaccine launch. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, once said that the new coronavirus vaccine developed in the United States may not be ready for the November presidential election. It set the timing for the American vaccine to be marketed later this year. Ashish Jha, dean of the School of Public Health at Brown University, stressed the “importance of maintaining a high degree of transparency” in vaccine development and called on the FDA not to get carried away by politics and to release information. on developing vaccines in a timely manner.
