New York to conduct own review of coronavirus vaccine approved by Trump

Date:

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said this during a news conference.

“Frankly, I’m not going to trust the federal government’s opinion and I wouldn’t recommend to New Yorkers based on the federal government’s opinion,” Cuomo said.

“New York State will have its own review when the federal government is finished with its review and says ‘it’s safe.’ We’re going to put together our own review too.”

On Wednesday, Trump said the White House could override the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) if the agency released tougher standards for the authorisation of a coronavirus vaccine.

Trump’s comments came as the FDA weighed new coronavirus vaccine guidelines that would likely push an authorisation date beyond the Nov. 3 election.

Recent polls have revealed that more than half of the population in the U.S. is against receiving a coronavirus vaccine and does not trust the vaccine’s safety or efficacy.
