Trump-haters are so determined to defeat the president that they are opposing emergency authorization of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Emergency-use authorization would allow the vaccine to be rushed to front-line health workers, cancer patients and the elderly, among other groups.
Joe Biden accuses Trump of meddling in vaccine development, rather than leaving it to the experts.
Even for emergency-use authorization, that committee will be consulted, explains Peter Marks, who runs FDA vaccine approval.
Fauci says "The one thing you would not want to see with a vaccine is getting an EUA before you have a signal of efficacy." Hahn has already confirmed emergency use depends on that signal of efficacy.
Fauci also worries that granting emergency use for one vaccine would make it harder to recruit volunteers for other vaccine candidates, because everyone will want the real deal.
Trump's idea is better: "We will achieve a victory over the virus by unleashing American scientific genius." In short, a safe vaccine developed at warp speed.
