Dr. Fauci: The American Public Should Feel Confident That the FDA Will Not Approve a Vaccine Unless It’s Safe and Effective

EXCERPT:

FAUCI: “So the data are going to drive us, Wolf. And I think people should always have faith in the scientific evidence and the scientific data. We have independent safety and — data and safety monitoring boards who are independent groups. They don’t work for the company. They don’t work for the federal government. They don’t work for the FDA. But what they do is they examine the data and intermittently at precise times look for safety and efficacy signals. And when they feel the vaccine is safe enough and effective enough, they will make accordingly the recommendations. And there are advisory committees that also will be looking at that. So I think the American public should feel confident. The FDA has pledged that they would make sure that no vaccine that is not safe and effective would be allowed to be given to the American public."
