An uproar over the vaccine before US election

(Deepshikha Gautam, Intern Journalist) Washington: There has been an uproar over President Donald Trump’s campaign to prepare a vaccine ahead of November 4 election in the US. Food and Drug Administration officials, who approved the vaccine, said they would resign if the vaccine was approved like a rubber stamp without assessing the efficacy.

Trump himself has said that the vaccine may come before the election on November 3. Peter Mark’s, Director of HDA’s center of Biologics Evaluation Research, openly threatened this on Friday. Last week, all government officials, CEOs of pharmaceutical companies, and medical experts had warned that in America, like Russia, there is a possibility of approval of the vaccine by flouting standards.
