He couldn't wait a few more hours and let the science work out. Now how many will die because they won't take the vaccine for fear it was only approved by force of an anti science president trying to improve his image rather than because science says it's ready?
Why couldn't all those agencies required to approve the vaccine all meet in one central location, hear all the evidence and then make a decision rather than meeting in series at a snails pace? Our scientists handling of this vaccine was the crime. I hope they do better with the Medeiros vaccine.
