Nine pharmaceutical corporations issued a joint commitment tuesday that they would “support science” and offer a vaccine until their protection and effectiveness have been well verified.
Corporations did not rule out seeking emergency approval for their vaccines, but promised that any possible vaccine opposed to coronavirus would be based on “large, high-quality clinical trials” and that corporations would adhere to regulatory agency rules such as the Food and Drug Administration.
“This commitment will help the public rely on the rigorous clinical and regulatory procedure by which Covid-19 vaccines are evaluated and, in the end, approved,” corporations said.
President Trump has continually said that a vaccine may be obtained by Election Day on November 3, reinforcing fears that his administration will politice the career of scientists to expand a vaccine and potentially undermine public confidence in any approved vaccine.
“We’ll have the vaccine soon, before a special date,” the president said Monday, “you know what date I’m talking about. “
Three of the corporations that have signed on to this pledge are testing their candidate vaccines in complex clinical trials in the United States: Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca. But only Pfizer said this could lead to emergency FDA approval starting in October. while the other two said they expected to have a vaccine until the end of the year.
Late last week, Moncef Slaoui, the chief scientist for Operation Warp Speed, the federal effort to temporarily bring a vaccine to market, warned in an interview with national public radio that the chances of good luck for vaccines through October were “very, very low. “””
In Tuesday’s nine corporations report, they did not mention Trump, and only said they had “a joint commitment to maintaining the integrity of the clinical process. “
The six corporations that signed this commitment were BioNTech, which is preparing the vaccine in partnership with Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson.

The plan represents an effort to increase pressure on Democratic leaders, who need to repair absolutely $600 in unemployment benefits and have refused to either measure less than $2. 2 trillion.
“It doesn’t involve all the concepts our party likes,” McConnell said in a statement. “I’m sure democrats will feel the same way. However, Republicans that the many serious differences between our two parties deserve not to save them. “us to agree to an agreement and make legislation that helps our nation.
He added: “I will make sure that every Democrat in the Senate who has said they need to succeed in an agreement has the opportunity to take a step down the right path. “
The Bill of Republicans would increase a bill value of $500 to a bill of $700, less than the $3. 4 trillion bill democrats approved in the House and less than the $1 trillion measure that Senate Republicans filed in July. Just take a position this week, Mr. McConnell, the Democrats are likely to block it. In a letter to his group, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader, called the bill “emaciated” and suggested Democrats push for “another comprehensive bipartisan bill that responds to the moment of our nation’s face. “
In a joint statement, California President Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader, rejected the proposal and noted that it was “loaded with poisonous pills that Republicans know Democrats will support. “
“This emaciated bill is only meant to help vulnerable Republican senators by giving them a ‘check the box’ vote to give them the impression that they are not being held hostage to their far right that they don’t need to spend a penny to help people,” he added. both Democrats said.
