NY health officials to review any vaccine approved by Trump [View all]
New York health officials will review any COVID-19 vaccine approved by the Trump administration, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said Thursday, citing his distrust of the federal government.
"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 at a press conference.
The Food & Drug Administration (FDA), a part of the federal government, reviews vaccines for safety and efficacy, but its independence has come into question after a series of decisions made by the agency, in addition to remarks made by President Trump that have fed fears that the development of a vaccine could be politicized.
No drug manufacturer has asked the FDA yet to approve a potential COVID-19 vaccine, but several candidates are in the final stages of clinical trials.
