More than 60% of adults surveyed in a new Kaiser Family Foundation survey said they were involved in the Food and Drug Administration rushing to allow the release of a Covid-19 vaccine due to political pressure; wonder whether President Trump’s repeated proclamations that an end-of-year “before” vaccine may be obtained, even before the November election, make other people nervous.
Concern about political influence remains in 85% of Democrats, 35% of Republicans, and 61% of independent voters, for the purposes of a ballot issued Thursday through Kaiser Health News.
The survey, conducted from August 28 to September 3, found that more than two-thirds of respondents, 81%, do not believe that an effective vaccine will be approved until Americans move to the polls in 53 days.
Even if it was more than one part (54%), I would say “no, thank you,” according to the survey; with 60% of Republicans saying “no” compared to 46% of Democrats and 56% of independent voters.
Only 42% of respondents would be willing to receive an FDA-approved vaccine before the election, even if it were free, representing the deep skepticism that many in the United States have about the influence of policy in bringing a Covid-19 vaccine to market. .
Safety and speed considerations have been at the heart of considerations this week when pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca announced a sudden pause in his complex vaccine tests after a player suffered a serious reaction; following President Trump’s repeated announcements that a vaccine may be available until the end of the year “or earlier,” and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises states to be able to distribute a vaccine until November 1.

The player whose adverse reaction resulted in the overall closure of Phase 3 clinical trials of the Covid-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca, a woman in the UK who had neurological symptoms consistent with a rare but severe inflammatory spinal disorder called transverse myelitis, the manufacturer’s general manager, Pascal Soriot, said at a personal convention with investors. according to the website Stat. La woman is getting better, Soriot said.
The United States is the world’s leading Covid-19 (6. 36 million on Thursday) and has done so since the start of the pandemic, which took off in the country in the spring. Health experts have continually pointed out that measures such as social estating, avoiding giant gatherings and dressed in a mask can help curb the spread of deadly diseases, but those advice has been received with disdain by some who do not need to be ordered to be safe. The motorcycle rally in South Dakota in August suggests that the event, considered a “super-widespread,” added about 267,000 cases of coronavirus across the country, according to media reports. The report criticized through the governor of the state.
