This is how the zombie apocalypse starts LOL

Yeah because we don’t need one. 6%.

Let’s fast track plant medicine like CBD from hemp! But no, that would be harmful for big pharma so let’s instead fast-track something more dangerous but as long as there’s profit, FDA sees no problem.

Is the 'fast track' to short cut the usual and customary safety and efficacy testing standards required by the FDA? The safety standards that countries like Russia and China don't follow? Excuse me but that sounds reckless and foolhardy. Why do we have an FDA in the first place?

Again....'First do no Harm' Did you forget that Doctor; or have we just become another PUPPET!

Sure he will...as per Trump.

No need. Frump says it’ll magically disappear. Take your time making an effective vaccine.

Not going to be taking any fast tracked vaccines from this admin. Nor will my child.

Sort of like they did in Russia?

try it on yourself or him ...

Phalydamide a wonder drug to combat morning sickness that led to children born without limbs. Just one of the drugs the FDA has authorized without fully testing it. Just what potential side effects could a fast-tracked vaccine hold for us down the road?

Bad idea

WE THE PEOPLE, DONT NEED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lock this guy up.

I wish election day was tomorrow. I can't take anymore of this BS.

Good

No. How many people have sold their soul to Trump? The FDA, the CDC DHS, National Security? I can’t even believe anything coming out of this administration anymore...and the law breaking. Please don’t fast track this!!!

I’ve been a nurse for 30 years & I absolutely will NOT be taking their 💉

Anything for Dear Leader.

You release it whenever the hell ya want, tomorrow even. I’m not taking this anyway so tomorrow or five years from now makes no difference to many of us....

Trump is turning FDA ridiculous ! USA is a joke of country

FDA commissioner will fast-track COVID-19 vaccine, what can go wrong as much as I want the vaccine too.

LA NUEVA REALIDAD

Who wants a “fast track” vaccine?

How much has Trump slipped him

If people get sick from this they will be creating even more anti-vaxers. Good luck trying to get people to take it whenever they get a real vaccine.

NO!! Only Trump wants this to excuse himself for incompetence!! America wants a fully and thoroughly tested vaccine!! And the President has turned his back on the deaths and continuing suffering due to this pandemic!! He tweeted all night and nothing about the health crisis!!

Fn election year bullshit. Do it normally.

He needs a brain.

There is NO way I'm taking a 'It's totally safe' Trump FDACommissioner' s 'fast tracked for the election' COVID19 vaccine. I'll wait for science, not Trump.

FUCK NO!!! There's a reason why drugs and vaccines take years to get to the market place!!!

It's absolutely shocking shocking. Look at this and you'll be stunned. Click this

CDC is attempting to revise fatalities to less then 10,000 and now this. Concerted effort to boost a candidate ElectionFraud

Saline.

Hahn is harmful. FDA has become a spectacle, thanks to Trump and Hahn.

Please people do not take a fast tracked vaccine. This is utterly irresponsible

He’s willing to do a lot. That’s the problem.

Sounds sketchy...

No thanks. Give it to your kids and let's see what happens.

MAGAts can be patriotic and take it because their president tells them to. I will sit it out if it's coming from a Trump Administration.

This is very tragic they are not following the safety protocols established. Choosing politics over people is a poor choice!

A fast-tracked vaccine will further erode public's trust on vaccines, already at low points.

Corruption.

FDA commissioner will fast-track anything Trump will tell him to. FDA commissioner has no credibility left after he signed emergency authorization for convalescent plasma treatment.

.Paging Dr Fauci

Beyond fucking stupid. Next the FDA will say that water doesn't cure dehydration, and that only cola products will.

Well yeah. He was installed to get a vaccine so Trump can claim it & claim he deserves a NobelPrize

I would hope so.

Whatever the emperor wants!!

Not on your life!

Imagine fucking up american trust in a vaccine, trump is going to get us all killed

Good lord, I thought it was pure incompetence but now I really think they don’t want Americans to take a vaccine.

How can anyone trust this guy?

I will NOT take a vaccine that is rushed through the FDA requirements, and before it’s known whether it even works or not. You won’t find too many Americans who want to be guinea pigs just to fulfill a campaign promise by the president. The FBI has been fully politicized.

I’ll wait thanks! I’m not inclined to believe people who know Nothing about vaccines and how they work when none have been approved! That’s like reading trump now says he won’t cut SS & Medicare! Never trust anyone working for trump!

Sounds really safe lol

I bet that will happen in October. But the anti-vaxers won't take it so why bother. And the unsafe product will make 'guinea pigs' who do take it grow a third eye

Russia announced that they have and are already using a coronavirus vaccine. Is that the one the FSA Commissioner wants to introduce to the American public?

BS. Why aren’t all the tests FDA approved first? US_FDA ours had some small print stating it wasn’t. Be straight up. We need someone to trust.

Of course they are, that’s why Bill Gates calls the FDA the gold standard of regulators

Trump and his family better be the first in line for that vaccine, and Fauci better administer it, so you know it's actually the vaccine being injected.

Could there be a little political pressure there to get something announced before the election - safe or not?

shoot up frump, admin, the wh staff, along with FDA commissioner and his family and friends first (with vaccine). the rest of us will wait until after Biden is in office. Thank you though

The Trump administration can’t handle crisis. Just look at their words, their actions. Their miss information to the public is all over the places and none of them work.

The FDA and CDC have become politicized, losing credibility.

ill wait for a real baccine, not a political one

Don’t play with our health for political reasons

Why? Very few are gonna even be willing to take it!

No thanks

🤡🤡🤡🤡

Is this guy a political appointee or a scientist?

Sounds like vaccine already exists

Hopefully the vaccine doesn't kill people. Let's not speed it up just so Trump can win re-election. Testing and studies are crucial.

Oh yay! One more step to the United States of Russia. PutinsPuppets PutinsGOP

Trumps CDC says it’s willing to change the narrative to win the election?

If you all fuck this up the anti vax crowd will have ammo forever, don’t allow that to happen.

Even far less will he willing to take it if political pressure, and not science and safety, accelerate the process!

Puppet !

Effect... mistake. “... FDA commissioner says willing to fast-track COVID-19 vaccine: FT ...”

The FDA and the CDC have been bought and paid for by the Trump admin. Wouldn't trust either agencies to treat a cold.

I am not willing to take a fast tracked vaccine

rushing it out isn't going to do much good if half the country isn't willing to take it.

This is so scary!!!

That sounds political and dangerous

I am super pro-vaccine. but I gotta say -I am weary of anything fast tracked through any agency that has been perverted by trumpian politics. which is all of them, at this point) I wouldn't be surprised if the 'vaccine' was a 50/50 mix of bleach and hydroxychloroquine. no thanks.

Depends why it's being fast tracked. If it's scientifically sound and it will better us... Great. Polio was day tracked. If it's for Trump's election and isn't safe... Fuck off.

Let’s see if the TrumpCrimeFamily have any financial stakes in it

How do these cretins sleep at night

Yet they won't allow medicines that are already approved to help patients. What does that tell you about who owns them

FDA fast tracking vaccine.This too will not end well.What a useless compromised unfit coward.Beyond dangerous.This entire Administration the chosen minions most Republican elected officials and supporters are the clear and present danger to this Nation people and across the globe

FDA is the biggest joke in American history, it's all about the money

In related news, SteveFDA says that Thalidomide is a-okay for treating morning sickness.

Nah bro, calm down with shit like that. Don’t be giving us cancer instead of curing us up.

Let's see how the media handle this... I am sure they will use the same language as the Chinese and Russian vaccine..

We will call it Trump-bullshit vaccine made in 3 months to plug the breaches of the sinking Republican ship &to save Trump in the polls! We are going to create the new model of the American race genetically modified! It will allow the virus to mutate and become more viral &strong

This guy is a hack.

it's Mr. No Credibility

No, thanks.

LOL; saying it feels like a Go Cart Day is What says; iF that 1 was seri 2 fast track wires ME would gather name; phone & MEMAiL. ME doesn’t Fête in Go Carts any much since ME got HUGo & these D8’s ME couldn’t bend 2 sit in 1 &ME ends up Supervi Lights track PayPal LAP’N Bunnies

The FDA commissioner and the trump crime family need to take the vaccine first.

Just say no.

Don’t sell out the integrity of the US_FDA Don’t become a political pawn when you’re entrusted w/ protecting the health of Americans SteveFDA - Rushing Clinical Trials is could be dangerous. Plus remember the Thalidomide babies of the 1950’s & that was “just” a nausea drug.

Anyone (govt or company) pushing for shortcuts to vaccine should take it themselves and expose themselves with virus. This is easiest way to get vaccine to market.

You take it

Dr. Hahn is gonna approve anything he is told to approve. Trump is the de facto FDA commissioner.

We'll take a vaccine at some point but not on the say-so of the FDA, which Hahn has turned into another shill for TrumPlague's quack cures. 184,000 dead and they're still pushing magic pills.

O...... kay! Um! Mind if I skip this release. 😟

Nope....I don’t want any vaccine that comes out of this criminal snake oil administration.

'First, to do no harm' REMEMBER?

Seems shady as hell . I'm ready for the end , war , pandemic , government genocide whatever just let it end .

What's the point of that? Do they really think enough people would get it? Half the country will identify as anti-vaxxer on principle, because 'can't trust science.' Half the country will refuse anything that Trump strong-armed SteveFDA into fast-tracking for political gain.

Aahhh, it’s a vaccine, that’s something you inject into living people to protect them from something potentially dangerous. Safety before profits please. Just saying....

Egads. You just lied to us last week about plasma. Now you’re going to push a vaccine for trump? Resign.

He’s a fucking hack

He looks like a cast member of that movie “American history X”.

good

Two words: October Surprise

AND NOBODY TRUST THAT OR ANY VACCINE coming from approval of FDA. The virus is bad enough without the many useless tests & innoculations u can hurry out!

good marketing 🤑🤑🤑

True corruption at work.

SteveFDA resign, you are getting people killed.

I'm going to predict that that means approving a vaccine in October.

FDA extends emergency use authorization of remdesivir to all hospitalized Covid-19 patientsThe US Food and Drug Administration said it is extending emergency use authorization for remdesivir to all patients hospitalized for coronavirus, regardless of the severity of their disease CNN was describing the warrant for Jacob Blake. They mentioned it was 3rd degree sexual assault and i could tell they didn’t want to define it and they didn’t! It’s sexual assault on someone younger than 16! CNN is straight up propaganda. Seems the FDA and the CDC can’t be trusted any more. Both have been so politically motivated by the Trump administration. Both will have to be dismantled and rebuilt by a new, trustworthy administration. But, again, no treatment available until someone's symptoms require hospitalization. Shameful.
