Dr. Anthony Fauci has some advice for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and the four other states that have vowed to independently review the efficacy and safety of a vaccine before making it available to their states. “Trust the process because it is a sound process,” he said.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat, said last September that he would review any vaccine approved by the federal government, to ensure they are safe for residents of New York State. “Frankly, I’m not going to trust the federal government’s opinion,” he said. During the first surge of the pandemic, President Donald Trump and Cuomo sparred over the supply of personal-protective equipment and the availability of ventilators for coronavirus patients. For his part, the president appeared to retaliate against Cuomo’s vaccine-review stance.
On Monday, AstraZeneca AZN, -1.08% and the University of Oxford said their coronavirus vaccine is up to 90% effective when administered as a half dose, and then a full dose one month later. Effectiveness falls to 62% when two full doses are given one month apart. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.12%, the S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.56% and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.21% were up slightly Monday on the back of the AstraZeneca–Oxford vaccine news, but investors remain worried about the recent surge in cases.
All of this sounds like the trailer to a zombie movie 😂😁😉
My fear is that the vaccine may come too late. Too many people have decided to travel for the holidays and/or are ignoring wearing masks and social distancing.🙄 Human ignorance may come at the greatest cost.
Why wouldn’t you get vaccinated when the process has worked time and time again?
Maybe these states are stupid... Instead of reviewing it a second time, why not send your 'world class' experts to partake or review the process as the FDA Completes it? TIME SAVED!!!!!!!
