The commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) responded to criticism of the agency for its recent approvals of COVID-19 vaccines, saying the approvals come in line with a process that takes time.
Dr. Marty Makary urged patience after disclosing that he was aware of research indicating COVID-19 vaccines may cause immune system deregulation and described databases with self-reported adverse events as inadequate to determine harms from vaccines.
