Here it is: @SteveFDA told @FT he was was "prepared to authorize a vaccine before Phase 3 clinical trials were complete, as long as officials believed the benefits outweighed the risks."

How will #FDA determine #COVID19 #vaccines efficacy/safety benefits without phase 3 trials?
.@SteveFDA tells @FT "there was a safe way to make a vaccine available before the end of Phase 3 trials — potentially by issuing an emergency authorization for use by certain groups rather than a blanket approval.

But then @SteveFDA "insisted he would not rush a vaccine to please" Trump.
So, Hahn is insisting he can safely put #COVID19 #vaccines on the U.S. market under emergency use without Phase 3 results but then says that's not to please Trump.
One thing @SteveFDA finally did in this @FT interview was use the word "regret." But he still didn't use the words "I'm sorry" or "I apologize."
“I certainly regret contributing to any misperception" on his Aug 23 misleading/false remarks on #convalescentplasma in #COVID19.
On @FaceTheNation, former #FDA commissioner-turned Venture Capitalist/ board member @ScottGottliebMD said today he doubted @SteveFDA could step in & obfuscate any decisions being made by career #FDA scientists evaluating #COVID19 #vaccines.

But isn't that what Hahn's doing?
Also, recall that all career government scientists - whether at #FDA, #NIH, #CDC, #BARDA, #DOD, etc - are under the threat they will be "relocated" if they disagree with Trump, per @MarkMeadows' own admission last week on @ThisWeekABC. abcnews.go.com/Politics/week-… #COVID19 #vaccines

"Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson – when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. They keep moving. And, the costs & threats to America & the world keep rising.

Excerpt from @POTUS @JoeBiden #SOTU address.

"American diplomacy matters."

Excerpt from @POTUS @JoeBiden #SOTU address.

#Ukraine #Russia #Putin
"#Putin’s war was premeditated & unprovoked. He rejected efforts at diplomacy. He thought the West & @NATO wouldn’t respond. And, he thought he could divide us here at home.
Putin was wrong. We were ready."

On #FaceTheNation, Trump's #WarpSpeed chief Moncef Slaoui now trying to claim credit for @POTUS @JoeBiden's success w/ #COVID19vaccinations.

Reminder: Trump wanted much lower $$ for #vaccines R&D. Congress went higher with $8.3B/rejected Trump's $2.5B.
spglobal.com/marketintellig…
Another reminder: Trump had no idea #NIH & $MRNA had started on a #COVID19 vaccine in mid-January 2020 based on research funded by the @BarackObama administration.
spglobal.com/marketintellig…

Trump himself claims he first heard of #coronavirus in late January.

#FaceTheNation #FTN
Also, NIH & U.S. companies were long into #COVID19 #vaccines R&D before Moncef Slaoui came on the scene with Operation #WarpSpeed.

Slaoui doing a lot of rewriting of history on #FaceTheNation today.

.@VP @KamalaHarris notes trip to #Georgia was supposed to be about #AmericanRescuePlan. But then, Asian-Americans were attacked/8 people killed.

"And we were reminded yet again that the crises we face are many that the photos we face are many."

"#Racism is real in America."
.@VP @KamalaHarris: For the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating Asian-Americans. People with the biggest pulpits spreading this kind of hate.

#Georgia #racism
.@VP @KamalaHarris: A harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us.

The president and I will not be silent. We will not stand by. We will always speak out against violence, hate crimes & discrimination, wherever and whenever it occurs.
