AstraZeneca told the FT that it hasn?t discussed an emergency use authorization for its potential vaccine with the U.S. government. A spokesperson for Health and Human Services, which includes the FDA, told FT that any claim of an emergency authorization for a vaccine before the election is ?absolutely false.?
The latest revelation comes amid reports that Trump on Sunday will announce the emergency authorization of convalescent plasma for Covid-19.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump made a baseless accusation that the FDA was standing in the way of drug companies? efforts to test potential coronavirus vaccines and treatments for political reasons.
