The U.S. regulators who will decide the fate of COVID-19 vaccines are asking outside scientists if their standards are high enough. The Food and Drug Administration may have to decide by year’s end whether to allow use of the first vaccines.

FILE - In this July 27, 2020, file photo, Nurse Kathe Olmstead prepares a shot that is part of a possible COVID-19 vaccine, developed by the National Institutes of Health and Moderna Inc., in Binghamton, N.Y. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will hold a meeting to discuss the process of approving COVID-19 vaccines.

“We can’t lose sight of the fact that it is in our societal interest to see these trials to completion,” said Dr. Luciana Borio, a former FDA acting chief scientist who will be watching the advisers’ debate. Interest is so high, FDA is airing the meeting on YouTube. Here are some key issues the committee will discuss:FDA is requiring manufacturers to do studies of at least 30,000 people to prove if a vaccine protects and how safe it is. Those studies must include adequate numbers of people at highest risk from COVID-19 -- older adults, minorities and anyone with underlying health problems.

But if FDA allows emergency use of a COVID-19 vaccine, that’s not the same as having full proof the shot works, Borio cautioned. Clearing a vaccine based on premature or faulty data “could cause more harm” by “further eroding public confidence in all vaccines,” the group said.

DON'T TRY AND FORCE THEM ON US!. You will need an army if you try and force it on me, they will have to kill me first but I will take as many with me as I can BIG PHARMA took part of my vision and the FDA BLOCKED MY LAWSUIT I will be DAMED if they do me anymore harm the bastards

I understand one of the test subjects has died.

The Covid 19 Virus has proven to be no more dangerous than the normal Flu It has a survival rate of 99.9%. Why on this Earth would you need a Vaccine that at it's best may only be less than 50% viable? ( Profit for the Drug Companies maybe & their shareholders )

The between the lines is 'we have tried to rush because of political interference and aren't sure our science has been followed closely enough, and we need outside help to make sure'. They're no longer scared of Trump and have decided to dispense with decorum.

Masketeers first. Their immune systems are so shot, they won't make it into the colder months. hmmm, could that have been the whole idea? 🤔

covid-19 made by the CCP, that's CCP virus, no vaccine. destroy the CCP is the best way to disappear the virus 🙏

Well the Feds did allow those Boing death traps to keep flying so what could possibly go wrong.....

The FDA standards have been lowered under the Trump Administration.

Fauci said a few months ago the average length of time to bring a vaccine to market was six years, and even then only a few make it through. The CDC said in July that it hasn’t got an isolate of Covid for the vaccine, so how is this still moving forward?

don't they do the test first?

With all due respect, try to keep up,
