Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer made headlines yesterday with an announcement about the coronavirus vaccine it is developing.
Based on preliminary analysis of data from a limited clinical study that has not been independently reviewed, the company claims its vaccine prevented 9 out of 10 volunteers from getting COVID-19.
Pfizer also announced that it will soon seek emergency approval for its vaccine from the Food and Drug Administration.
As we come up on month ten of this pandemic, all of humanity is certainly ready for good news on the vaccine front.
But this is no time to cut corners.
- Any vaccine must be proven conclusively to work.
- And the public needs to be able to trust the process by which it was developed and approved.
Tell the FDA: Do not cut corners in approving any coronavirus vaccine.
Add your name.
Thanks for taking action.
Stay safe.
- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
P.S. For half a century, Public Citizen has been advancing policies that put the needs of everyday Americans before the greed of billionaires and Big Business. That legacy of progress and that ongoing work could not matter more right now, as our nation transitions to a Joe Biden presidency that will be as progressive as we — you and Public Citizen, together — make it.
Of course, we’re also busy undoing damage the Trump administration has already done and watching out for whatever shenanigans a lame-duck Donald Trump tries to get away with. And — like so many nonprofits and small businesses — we continue to experience financial strain related to the coronavirus pandemic.
If you can, please make an emergency donation today to support the critical work we’re doing together or even join our popular Monthly Giving program. Thank you.
