I can't believe we may have a vaccine released before phase 3 testing in the US. I really can't believe it. Regardless of all the crazy things that have happened, mass vaccine distribution BEFORE PHASE 3 TESTING, is insane to me. We have had one of the most stringent
Approval policies of any country in the world during my career. We also have one of, if not the best, healthcare systems in the world. 190+ countries have suffered from #COVID19 and yet we may be the first to release a vaccine in spite of a lack of phase 3 (not to mention
Phase 4) testing. It's unlike anything I've ever seen in medicine. A degree from a US residency can translate to almost any country in the world, yet, a physician from another country could have been practicing cardiothoracic surgery for 20 years across 10 countries but all
Specialties are required to repeat training under US standards. Thats how special our healthcare system has been worldwide. We have an elite system and its embarrassing and utterly crushing that our reputation could sink lower than it has after our abysmal #COVID19 response.
A premature vaccine release isn't something I could have ever imagined. Especially after so many in the population have downplayed this virus as a "scamdemic". Unreal...
