Pfizer, Moderna and other seven companies promised not to file for approval of their Covid-19 vaccines until the shots have shown to work safely, as executives say they aren’t cutting corners in testing or manufacturing

As government and private money pour into the global race for a Covid-19 vaccine, drugmakers are under great pressure to keep the shot affordable while also keeping investors happy. WSJ explains what this means for the final price tag of the jabs.

Sure

So the people we don’t trust are signing a thing that says we can trust them. Got it.

i just use my caribben gun.. and tel covid infected ppl back up..

So Trump is announcing Russian vaccine then ..

Big pharma will never get any love, and rightly so for many reasons. However they're our best chance for coming up with theraputics and vaccines. I hope they get there.

Brainwashing on air

The pledge only meets expectations. If these companies want to exceed expectations they should lobby in DC for the U.S. to continue membership in WHO and that everyone should follow CDC guidelines.

Covid vaccines could be a long way off from mass distribution cabUCOM101

Covid vaccines could be a long way off from mass distribution

Good 👍👍👍

But President Trump promised a vaccine by November 1st

And let IvankaTrump EricTrump and DonaldJTrumpJr vaccinate their children first to see how it goes.

Why would this be necessary if FDA has to review and approve the R & D?

A promise isn’t enough, they should pinky swear. Or just, you know, do actual non-warp-speed long-term double-blind trials with saline placebos...

Well I sure as hell hope that they would not approve any, get that any, drug until proven safe and effective. Let’s keep politics out of the pharmaceutical business for the sake of everyone.

If so.. then the vaccines should to wait at least 5 years to hit the markets

Mysstyblue Uh huh

Executives aren’t cutting corners, they’re just selling boatloads of their stock right before there’s a ‘successful’ vaccine

6 of the 9 companies are convicted felons, but let's take them at their word. Everyone deserves a fresh start.

This is what they are supposed to do

They should pledge to not profit from it.

LMAO, do we need to roll back all the times pharma companies said things were safe then pulled them off the market after they got the bejeezus sued out of them for life complicating side effects?
