The U.S. will have a 'better' vaccine than China — and it will have it sooner, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb predicted
The United States will have a "better" vaccine than China — and it will have it sooner, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb predicted Sunday.
Data on the potential vaccines in clinical development in China "didn't look overwhelmingly strong," Gottlieb told Margaret Brennan on CBS' "Face the Nation.""Those vaccines, if they do work, probably are going to provide lower levels of immunity than the platforms that the U.S. and Europeans are working with," he said.
"So I think we're going to have a better vaccine, and I think we're probably going to have it sooner based on where we are in clinical development, some of the early progress that we've shown." Asked which potential U.S. vaccines are "most promising at this point," Gottlieb cited one by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca, as well as another by Moderna Therapeutics and Lonza.CORONAVIRUS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
