Trump administration’s efforts to speed up the regulatory review process of therapeutic drugs and vaccines for COVID-19 is unprecedented, according to Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), who has spent three decades practicing medicine.
Harris, a former physician at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, praised the White House’s “Operation Warp Speed” initiative for “cutting through all the unnecessary red tape” with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Launched in May, the initiative aims to deliver 300 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines by the end of 2020.
