Trump reportedly considers fast tracking AstraZeneca vaccine before election

[George50]

“The Trump administration is considering fast tracking an experimental coronavirus vaccine developed in the U.K. for use in the United States ahead of the nation’s upcoming presidential election, according to a Financial Times report, which cited three people briefed on the plan.

One option, according to the FT report, would involve the U.S. Food and Drug Administration awarding “emergency use authorization” for the vaccine, which was developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca.

AstraZeneca told the FT that it hasn’t discussed an emergency use authorization for its potential vaccine with the U.S. government. A spokesperson for Health and Human Services, which includes the FDA, told FT that any claim of an emergency authorization for a vaccine before the election is “absolutely false.”

The White House, FDA and Pelosi’s office did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.”


HHS says the story is false, the White House says no comment. Hmm, sounds familiar.

We know this story can't be true because Donald Stable Genius Trump is waaaaaaay too childishly impulsive to have ever considered anything. Consideration requires an understanding of actions and consequences, right and wrong, honor and dishonor, analysis and planning. No, Trump knows one way and only one way: Pull it out of his ass.

Why did they ask Pelosi for a comment? :unsure13:

To see if she rises to the bait. She didn't. I think although there are a lot of unintended leaks in the Trump admin, I also think things get leaked on purpose to troll
