Drug testing in other countries doesn’t equate to drug approval in the U.S.
True, but it could give a country willing to use the vaccine a competitive advantage in the world marketplace - if the vaccine works.
“Drug testing in other countries doesn’t equate to drug approval in the U.S.”
No problem. I’m sure Dr. Fauci will approve it by late 2024, at the earliest...
FDA Approval Process
It takes on average 12 years and over US$350 million to get a new drug from the laboratory onto the pharmacy shelf. Once a company develops a drug, it undergoes around three and a half years of laboratory testing, before an application is made to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin testing the drug in humans. Only one in 1000 of the compounds that enter laboratory testing will ever make it to human testing.

RE: If it is proven to work elsewhere, the US FDA will definitely accelerate its approval.
It seems the FDA has been beyotch slapped by Trump. They’ve been approving things in record time lately.
