As White House, FDA drama over vaccine EUA timing plays out it is important to remember that a week or two or a day or two on FDA's end would not be that big of a deal if White House had succesfully managed pandemic with the MANY other tools available. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/01/coronavirus-vaccine-trump-fda-441959?nname=playbook
A vaccine was always going to be super important but it didn't/shouldn't have been THE sole US strategy for ending the pandemic. Many other countries have successfully pushed transmission levels down with other public health methods.
The White House seems to be putting FDA in positions where they risk further jeprodizing public trust in vaccines to make up for White House not FDA failures.
