Disappointed this article makes no mention accelerating development and distribution of vaccines by relaxing FDA approval processes.
Sure, that may take 9-18 months. But preventing the "second wave" is more important than reacting to it.
- raphaelj 7y agoThese approval processes are there for a reason though. If you are going to inject some pathogen to millions of people, you better be sure that it has no strong, even long term, undesirable effect.
- matchagaucho 7y agoIt's not so much the injections, but just allowing the development of alternative processes that may scale much faster than the 70 year old egg-based process. When we look back in retrospective, the CDC and FDA will be under scrutiny to take more preventative measures.
