"Certainly it's had a rocky beginning," @NIHDirector tells @washingtonpost Live of #covid19 vaccine rollout. "Maybe we shouldn't be too shocked that it didn't go like clockwork," but says "things are starting to pick up." Says 1M injections per day "is good benchmark to reach."
Collins declines to make a specific estimate for herd immunity, but says "let's go for 80-85%; that ought to be sufficient for achieving herd immunity."

"Talking in the neighborhood of 300M... getting immunized in the coming months."

(How do we do that w/o vaccinating kids?)

Last week, @SecAzar said the "proof was in the pudding" about Trump's political pressure on #FDA .

Yes, yes it is.


Reminder: Trump said he wasn't aware of #coronavirus until late January. $MRNA /#NIH launched their R&D mid-Jan.

#WarpSpeed Slaoui today at #PostLive on any tensions between Trump/White House & #FDA: "I don't know."
"I wouldn't think there would be."

And later Slaoui distanced himself from Trump, saying he's more aligned with #BidenHarris administration.

#COVID19 #vaccines
And if the #pharma #biotech, pharmacy & distributor execs are "irritated at pressure from the White House to attend an event they perceive to be largely political," they certainly don't have to attend. So, will they anyway?

Pfizer VP Rod MacKenzie at #postlive on Post story re: Enbrel & Alzheimer’s

“If we believe we had a robust scientific hypothesis of course we would have published it.” Image
Donna Cryer from @GlobalLiver notes need for drugs to treat nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (#NASH)

Lack of drugs isn't bc no one's trying. Drugmakers are very interested, NASH drugs are just hard to develop

I asked a couple docs why👇

They just played a video about a face transplant

As the video ended you could hear several people say "whoa" or "wow" (I was one of them)

.@ScottGottliebMD at a #postlive event on AI medical devices: imaging apps are here but applying AI broadly (like in clinical trials) further away from a reg standpoint Image
On precision medicine: lots of Qs that need to be answered. Can’t answer those in “reasonably sized” clinical trials so FDA allowing approval based on small trials. Need for robust post market follow up
.@SGottliebFDA on the Post’s story re: Pfizer not publishing data on Enbrel and Alzheimer’s

Says there wasn’t a need to publish the research. Already known anti inflammatories didn’t have large effect

“Damned if you do, damned if you don’t”

Perhaps most significant, Adam Schiff confirmed he'll refer Erik Prince to DoJ for possibly lying to Congress. washingtonpost.com/politics/schif…
Rosenstein plans to leave DoJ on May 11. But his time in the spotlight might not be over. Schiff said he wants to summon Rosenstein to testify, asserting that he has a "deeply mixed record" as DAG and should not have had a role in deciding obstruction case washingtonpost.com/video/postlive…
