A top infectious disease expert is warning against approving a CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine before it’s ready. “The one thing that you would not want to see with a vaccine is getting an EUA [emergency use authorization] before you have a signal of efficacy,” Dr. Anthony Fauci told Reuters. “One of the potential dangers if you prematurely let a vaccine out is that it would make it difficult, if not impossible, for the other vaccines to enroll people in their trial,” he added. Fauci heads the he National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and is a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. A number of phase three trials for vaccine candidates are underway or scheduled to start soon. Johnson & Johnson is planning to enroll 60,000 participants in a trial slated to begin on Sept.5, according to a clinical trial database updated last week. Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca are also conducting trials on candidates against the virus, which causes a disease known as COVID-19. AstraZeneca challenged a report on a possible EUA from the Trump administration this week, issuing a statement saying company officials have not discussed such authorization with the U.
