BUT...

Pfizer has developed a Covid-19 vaccine that is 95% effective in preventing someone from contracting the virus.

Yesterday, Pfizer submitted a request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for distributing the vaccine for use...with the elderly being at the top of the recipient list. (5 out every 100 people over the age of 70 who contract Covid-19, perish from the disease.)

The FDA approval committee says it will meet on December 10th to begin discussing Pfizer's request..

The Food & Drug Administration announced Friday that its committee on vaccines will meet Dec. 10th to review Pfizer's request for emergency use authorization (EUA) of its Covid-19 vaccine.

This comes two days after Pfizer, with their German partner BioNTech, released promising final results that show their vaccine is 95% effective and protects elderly adults who are most at risk of dying. Pfizer had submitted the EUA request earlier in the day Friday.

An FDA spokesperson told FOX Business the three-week window is necessary because "this amount of time will allow the FDA to thoroughly evaluate the data and information submitted in the EUA request before the meeting, and to be prepared for a robust public discussion with the advisory committee members."

"While we cannot predict how long the FDA’s review will take, the FDA will review the request as expeditiously as possible, while still doing so in a thorough and science-based manner, so that we can help make available a vaccine that the American people deserve as soon as possible," FDA Commissioner Stephen M. Hahn said Friday.

The average number of people dying per day with Covid-19 here in the USA has been approximately 1,300 over the past 7 days, with the number of daily deaths trending upward over that 7 day period. (Yesterday was 1,862)

Given the upward trajectory of Covid-19 deaths this Fall, it's disgraceful for the FDA to not even begin talking about approving a ready-to-go vaccine until December 10th...3 weeks from now! And who knows how long those "approval discussions" will last. Every day of delay enables more future deaths.

Pfizer submits an EMERGENCY request, and the FDA says, "OK...maybe in 3 to 4 weeks, your request will be approved." Something is wrong at the Food and Drug Administration.
