Trump was pressuring the FDA to even skip their safe guards and the FDA had to push back. Trump wanted the approvals before the election - two months earlier than it was approved.
It was approved before the inauguration. No one thought it was “Biden’s victory”
- _heimdall 2y agoI'm not arguing with you regarding Trump, I don't think he handled it well at all. I raised his name only for context around the timing of the Democratic leadership flipping position on the vaccine programs. Biden and his campaign would disagree with you though he frequently spoke highly of the vaccine and his administration's role in it. Prior to the election Biden was one of those calling it Trump's vaccine and raising concerns over rushing it and the safety of it in general.
- scarface_74 2y agoHe wasn’t criticizing the FDA or the makers. He was critical of Trump trying to pressure the FDA.
- _heimdall 2y agoI would be surprised if there was no pressure on the FDA coming from the Biden administration. I also don't personally know how to stack up the issue of governments pressuring the FDA, who is part of the executive branch, and social media and news companies meant to be entirely separate from the government.
