The statement comes amid increasing concern that the White House might bring significant political pressure to the FDA to get a vaccine before the Nov. 3 presidential election.

The fastest vaccine ever developed took four years, although work on a COVID-19 vaccine has been happening at a much faster pace, thanks to advances in technology, research done on similar but much smaller coronavirus outbreaks, a concerted effort by the companies, and federal support.

Dr. Stephen Hahn, head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has repeatedly said he would not approve a vaccine until it has been shown to be safe and effective. But he has also said there might be an intermediate endpoint — short of the completion of a 30,000-person trial — that could meet his standards for a so-called emergency use authorization.

"I’ve only been doing vaccines for 40 years and I’ve never heard of anything like this before," he said."Having the companies themselves issue this statement I think will offer some reassurance. Not completely, but some reassurance to the medical profession."

Everyone knows that the liberals don't want a vaccine now

Trump only wants “the Announcement”. He doesn’t care if it’s ready. Just like everything else he just wants the PR boost. Quit falling for it...

The White House & every drug company can go pound sand. I wouldn’t take their vaccine for all the Goya beans in “Princess Find Something New” closet. I’ll wait, wearing my mask, until decency & truth return to the White House
