Concerned about the politicization of vaccine approvals by the US government, New York State will conduct an independent review

　　Chinanews, September 25th, a comprehensive report, New York State Governor Cuomo said on the 24th that because of concerns that US President Trump will "politicize" the approval process for the new crown vaccine, New York State will treat any new crown virus approved by the federal government. The vaccine is independently reviewed.

　　Democrat Cuomo said at a press conference held on the 24th: "Frankly, I will not trust the opinions of the federal government, nor will I recommend (vaccine) to New Yorkers based on the opinions of the federal government."

　　According to reports, New York officials are not directly involved in the approval process for potential vaccines, but under current plans, they will help determine how the vaccine will be distributed across the state.

In theory, if the state officials believe that the vaccine is unsafe, the distribution of the vaccine can be postponed.

　　The analysis said that Cuomo’s latest remarks may further complicate the vaccination process, which has fallen into political debate, and the American public has shown distrust of this process for months.

　　Polls show that once the vaccine is approved, the number of Americans willing to vaccinate will decrease significantly.

A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in September found that 51% of Americans are likely or sure to be vaccinated, a sharp drop from 72% in May.

　　The main concern of the interviewees is that the vaccine approval process is progressing too quickly, and safety and effectiveness are not properly determined.

　　Cuomo said that Trump said on the 23rd that the White House may reject the new guidelines of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) aimed at raising the threshold for emergency authorization of vaccines, which made him more vigilant.

　　Trump said that the FDA's plan sounds "like a political move," and this remarks once again contradict the statements of government officials who have been trying to rebuild public confidence in vaccines.

　　The concerns expressed by Cuomo echoed those of Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate.

Last week, Biden made the vaccine issue a core issue in the 2020 election.

　　According to reports, Redfield, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said at the Senate Health Committee hearing on the 23rd that by the end of March or April 2021, the United States is expected to receive about 700 million doses of the new crown vaccine, which is enough to supply 350 million. People are vaccinated, "it may not be until July that all the American public can be vaccinated."

　　But Trump has repeatedly stated that Americans can start being vaccinated against coronavirus before the election.

Public health experts worry that the Trump administration’s rush in launching vaccines and interfering in the operation of federal scientific agencies may cause the safety of vaccines to be questioned.
