Fauci Warns of Rushing Coronavirus Vaccine Onto the Market
Addressing concerns that the development of coronavirus vaccines for COVID-19 could be hurried due to politics, Dr. Anthony Fauci cautioned that their development should not be rushed.
In an interview with Reuters published on Monday, Fauci -- the director of the government's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) -- said that "[t]he one thing that you would not want to see with a vaccine is getting an EUA (emergency use authorization) before you have a signal of efficacy."
His comments came a day after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted an EUA for the use of convalescent plasma to treat COVID-19. That authorization is controversial because the data is not supported by robust clinical testing.
