First on ABC News: House Democrats call on the Food and Drug Administration to empower an independent panel of experts to review and sign off before a coronavirus vaccine is distributed to the general public.
A new legislative proposal obtained by ABC News would require the FDA to seek input from the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee in a public hearing before giving an emergency authorization for the widespread use of any COVID-19 vaccine. The bill is expected to be publicly announced Thursday and formally introduced on Friday by Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., the chairman of the House Oversight Committee Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy.
As recently as Thursday, President Trump suggested that the vaccine could be available around the time of the presidential election in November. “We have a vaccine advisory committee. It's a standard approach we have, we will be using that to help us make this decision. These are outside experts from around the country,” he said.
