President Donald Trump hailed a “medical miracle” after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) late on Friday authorized a vaccine from Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech for emergency use in efforts to end the pandemic caused by the CCP virus.
“Today our nation has achieved a medical miracle. We have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just nine months,” Trump announced in a three-minute address to the nation.
