      Welp. On @FaceTheNation it looks like @ScottGottliebMD is now on board with the “don’t worry, be happy” messaging about an emergency use authorization for a #COVID19 vaccine before the election. 1/Disappointing.

      Basically, he’s saying he thinks trust the professionals at @US_FDA who would become reviewing an EUA won’t let the administration push them around and force turn to approve a vaccine they’re not comfortable s as approving. 2/

      Unfortunately, @FDACommissioner @SteveFDA has ALREADY shown he can be pushed by @realDonaldTrump, as evidenced by previous EUAs for #Hydroxycholoroquine and convalescent plasma. 3/

      With my 15+ year history combating antivaccine disinformation and suffering for it as a result, I’ll put my provaccine bona fides up against those of anyone, including @DrPaulOffit, @DrPanMD, or @PeterHotez. 4/

      That being said, I will almost certainly not be able to trust a vaccine approved by EUA by @realDonaldTrump’s @US_FDA before the election. I’ll need to see the data on efficacy and safety, and I’d much prefer a formal FDA approval. 5/5

      And if you doubt what I say about the pressure @realDonaldTrump is bringing to bear on @US_FDA, conveniently there was this @washingtonpost story yesterday. Basically Trump is staking his reeelection on the authorization of a vaccine before the election.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-vaccine-election/2020/09/05/c0da86d6-edf5-11ea-99a1-71343d03bc29_story.html …

          Wasn’t Trump anti-vax in the 2010s? Irony lives. 🙄

          I believe that WILL be our October surprise. Any idea on what effect the political strategists, like maybe @TheRickWilson , think that will have on swing voters? Problems with the rushed vax unlikely to manifest before 11/3.

          why does it matter what Gottlieb believes? does he still have influence in the FDA? i thought he left last year?

          what’s weird to me is he’s pushing a vaccine for his supporters, who are also the ones saying they won’t get one or wear masks. so, what’s the point?
