US President Donald Trump is pushing the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in all directions to approve a vaccine for the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). President Trump publicly urged the FDA to approve the FDA as a “ slow turtle, ” while US White House Secretary Mark Meados delivered a “ final reminder ” to resign if the vaccine was not approved within the day.
According to Bloomberg News on the 11th (local time), President Trump said: “I have invested a lot of money (to develop vaccines), but the very bureaucratic FDA has saved five years in the approval of many new vaccines, but it is still big, old and slow. It’s a turtle, “he said.” Make sure the vaccine is available right now. FDA Director Stephen Han emphasized: “Save lives from being irresponsible.”
Pressure from President Trump was not the only “call for disclosure.” The Meadows CEO is known to have said, “If you don’t give emergency approval by this day, you must resign.” The Associated Press quoted a high-ranking government official who was familiar with the matter and explained that the Meadows’ comments were in accordance with President Trump’s instructions. However, a senior administration official told Reuters that the comments were a joke to demand swift action, and the head of one of the directors also dismissed the report as a “misleading description.”
President Trump’s pressure on FDA approval is interpreted as a complaint that the vaccine was jointly developed by Pfizer, a local company, and Bioentech, Germany, but approval was slow compared to other countries. It also contributed to their dissatisfaction that the Trump administration has been leading vaccine development, such as leading an ‘Operation Warp Speed’ team and dedicating astronomical funding to vaccine development. In particular, President Trump was in a state of accumulated mistrust of the FDA regarding the announcement of the success of the Corona 19 vaccine following his prediction of defeat in the presidential election. To date, the vaccine has been approved for use in the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, and Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, the Vaccine and Biological Drug Advisory Committee (VRBPAC), an advisory body to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), held a meeting the day before and recommended urgent approval of Corona 19 developed jointly by Pfizer, a US pharmaceutical company, and Bioentech, Germany. The FDA is not required to follow the recommendations of the advisory committee, but it is expected to receive emergency approval before the 12th in many cases. In fact, the FDA said it is “ securing ” approval of the vaccine for U.S. professionals, and the New York Times (NYT) quoted an official as saying approval could drop as soon as that night. . The Minister of Health and Welfare of the United States, Alix Aza, said that “vaccination could begin next Monday or Tuesday.”
