The House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into whether the Biden administration pressured the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to speed up its approvals of COVID-19 booster shots.
In three April 10 letters to current and former FDA officials, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.)—who chairs the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust—requested all records and materials relating to the agency’s review, approval, and promotion of all COVID-19 vaccines and boosters in addition to those regarding the departures of Dr. Marion Gruber and Dr. Philip Krause from the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review (OVRR).
