Scalise Applauds President Trump’s Leadership to Deliver a Safe & Effective COVID-19 Vaccine in Record Time

WASHINGTON—Republican Whip and Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis Ranking Member Steve Scalise (R-La.) applauded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s issuance of an emergency use authorization for the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine.

“This is an historic day. Thanks to President Trump’s whole-of-America approach during this unprecedented pandemic, Americans now have access to a safe and effective coronavirus vaccine in record time. Operation Warp Speed made it possible for the fastest development and distribution of a vaccine in history while maintaining all safety and efficacy standards. From the creation to the largest testing system in the world to new life-saving therapies to today’s vaccine approval, we are on the full path to recovery due to President Trump’s steadfast leadership. Democrats should be ashamed of their partisan and unscientific attacks on the coronavirus vaccine development. Despite their attempts to undermine President Trump, today’s news clearly demonstrates President Trump has once again delivered for the American people.”
