Inform you that you have approved the vaccine through a tweet … The FDA dictates when the vaccine is approved Pfizer
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced on the 18th (local time) that a new vaccine against coronavirus infection (Corona 19) developed by the American pharmaceutical company Modena has been approved.
President Trump said in a tweet that day, “Moder and the vaccines were approved by an overwhelming majority.
Distribution begins immediately, ”he wrote.
The Vaccines and Biological Drugs Advisory Committee (VRBPAC), an advisory body to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), held a meeting the day before and recommended to the FDA the urgent use of modder or vaccines with a overwhelming approval of 20 people in favor, 0 people against and 1 abstention.
There have been reports that the FDA, which was recommended by the advisory committee, will approve the urgent use of the vaccine in the near future, but the FDA has yet to make any official announcements.
The vaccine can be distributed if the FDA approves it, but actual vaccination requires a decision made by the advisory committee of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and signed by the CDC director.
Reuters said: “The FDA advisory committee met to discuss the Modena vaccine on the 17th, and the FDA was expected to decide (approve) as soon as possible on the 18th,” said President Trump’s tweet, which occurred prior to the official FDA announcement.
This is interpreted as not intended to show that President Trump is going to great lengths to approve, distribute and vaccinate the vaccine amid the severe spread of Corona 19 in the United States.
President Trump squeezed in quick approval from the FDA during the first approval of the Pfizer-Bioentech vaccine last week.
President Trump tweeted: “Director Han, bring that damn vaccine” to FDA Director Stephen Han when FDA did not immediately announce approval after the FDA Advisory Committee recommended approval of the Pfizer vaccine on the day. 10.
In addition, it was reported that White House Secretary Mark Meados called Han Director on the 11th and pressured the FDA to resign if the FDA did not approve emergency use on the same day (11).
