Vaccination time will not be determined into political pressure: Dr. Fauci.The US presidential election is going to be held next November. Earlier, the White House said it hoped to launch an effective vaccine against coronavirus. However, ahead of the election, there is no political pressure on researchers to bring the vaccine forward quickly, assured the top infectious disease specialist in the United States Anthony Foussi.
In an interview on Wednesday Anthony Foussi said. “I have discussed with the regulatory authorities. They have promised not to allow political issues to interfere in the decision.”
“We have discussed the corona vaccine in detail,” he added.
Responsible people involved in the policy-making process have assured that safety and effectiveness will be the main consideration in this case.
US President Donald Trump’s popularity has plummeted over his failure to control the coronavirus epidemic. Democrat Joe Biden is ahead of him in all polls. That’s why Trump wants to win the hearts of the people by bringing the corona vaccine to the market before the election.
Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Fauci, “I know what the White House wants to see . But at the moment we don’t see any sign of pressure to do anything different from what we are doing.”
The United States is currently the most affected country in the world. About 5 million people have already been infected with the coronavirus, and more than 160,000 have died. The U.S. administration has been forced to back away from its recent decision to resume economic activity as the infection continues to grow.
