FDA head pledges 'we will not cut corners' on coronavirus vaccine
10 August 2020 - The head of the FDA pledged Monday that the U.S. "will not cut corners" in its race to develop a coronavirus vaccine.
FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn told the American Medical Association in a video briefing that he’s heard experts have wondered if the administration’s rush to develop a vaccine would jeopardise its safety, CNN reported.
"Let me assure you that we will not cut corners," Hahn said. "All of our decisions will continue to be based on good science and the same careful deliberative processes we have always used when reviewing medical products."
