Trump had tweeted on Saturday that “deep state” elements at the FDA were delaying progress on drugs and vaccines until after the November 3 election in order to hurt his reelection bid. “I would be very worried about using an EUA mechanism for something like a vaccine. It's very different from plasma therapy,” said Dr Peter Hotez, an infectious disease expert and vaccine researcher at Baylor College of Medicine.
