The US Food and Drug Administration: The Pfizer vaccine has a strict safety process

The head of the US Food and Drug Administration, Stephen Hahn, said that he would "definitely" take the new vaccine for the Corona virus produced by Pfizer and Biontech, indicating that there is a strict safety process, despite the speed with which the doses were produced.

"I will definitely take the Covid-19 vaccine, I am waiting for it to be available and distributed," he added in a press briefing today, Saturday, after the regulator authorized the use of the vaccine in emergency situations.

He continued: "This vaccine meets the Food and Drug Administration's stringent standards for quality, safety and efficacy. The FDA decision was made based on science and data," stressing that there is no external pressure.

(In reference to what was published by the "Washington Post" regarding the allegations of the White House threatening him to approve the vaccine or to resign from his post).

In the United States, emergency approval is being used for people aged 16 or over, and with it the largest mass vaccination program ever in the United States will begin.
