CORONAVIRUS/FDA: [Tim Boyum: “Over the weekend, you criticized, sort of, the FDA, for potentially delaying whether it’s a [coronavirus] vaccine or therapeutic. Do we have evidence of that or is that a gut feeling that you have?”]
“Well, I think there’s some evidence and I think it’s a big gut feeling, and in the meantime, we got what we wanted last night with the convalescent plasma, and that was approved and that has a tremendous impact on people, positive impact on people. And we have Remdesivir and I think we’re going to have vaccines very, very soon.”
