ALF Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Trump claims White House can overrule FDA's attempt to toughen guidelines for coronavirus vaccine In the meantime, the President's comments are sure to fuel new unease in a vaccine process that was already being greeted with skepticism by many Americans in polls. A lack of trust in the program is a nightmare scenario, public health experts say, since a vaccine is the best hope of eventually ending the pandemic and restoring normal life. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/23/politics/trump-fda-coronavirus-vaccine/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 9 hours ago, ALF said: Israel enters full 16-day lockdown on Friday The government approved at dawn on Thursday, Sept. 24, a full national lockdown to rein in the soaring coronavirus contagion starting Friday, Sept. 25 up to Oct.11. Closure is to be universally applied, excepting only for people employed in essential services. The extreme measure, advocated by PM Binyamin Netanyahu when the number of new cases a day climbed past 7,000 and serious cases to 657, was finally endorsed by Defense Minister Benny Gantz who acknowledged there was no option. Overnight, there were another 10 deaths raising the total to 1,375. In the end, prayer services and demonstrations alike are be restricted alike to 20 participants outdoors. Both chief rabbis ordered the closure of synagogues even on Yom Kippur the holiest day of the Jewish year, as well as the subsequent Succoth festival, for the sake of saving lives. Anti-government protesters will be confined like the rest of the population to within 1km of their homes, thereby breaking up the unruly, mass outbreaks taking place weekly outside the prime minister’s residence in Jerusalem. The international airport will be closed to outgoing flights. Food stores and pharmacies will stay open, while all other retail trade is shuttered like the schools. Public transport will be limited. After 16 days, the state of covid-19 infection will be assessed to determine if the lockdown is to be extended or lightened in careful stages, https://www.debka.com/israel-enters-full-16-day-lockdown-on-friday/ Somehow I have a feeling the media may revisit the Hasids of Williamsburg cases, after a 6 month absence of stories.

SoCal Deek Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I listened to a radio interview with one of the top guys at HHS last week. It was fascinating. Did you know they already have about 200 million doses of the vaccines produced, stockpiled, and ready for deployment? They’re waiting for FDA approval on the trials. The federal government authorized the production out ahead of approval in order to speed up deployment. They’ll need about 700 million doses since some of the product is a booster shot and a second dose. They’ll have that by February. And....the strategy is to give it to the vulnerable population first, before you’ll ever need to stand in a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting back regulatory red tape. Typically they do the all the upfront science before committing to manufacturing, here they did the development and manufacturing in parallel. The actual science required to drop in a vaccine target and develop a working vaccine isn't the rate limiting step, especially when its an all hands on deck situation, its the regulatory bureaucracy red tape that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct! The HHS official said that they directed them to start production. If the vaccine doesn’t get FDA approval, they’ll throw out the stockpile.
