(Washington = Yonhap News) Correspondent Ryu Ji-bok = US President Donald Trump announced on the 18th (local time) that a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine developed by US pharmaceutical company Modena was approved.

However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated that the review is still underway.

In a tweet in the morning, President Trump wrote, “Modern vaccines have been overwhelmingly approved. Distribution will begin immediately.”

The Vaccine and Biological Drugs Advisory Committee (VRBPAC), an advisory body for the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), held a meeting the day before and recommended the FDA for urgent use of modders or vaccines with overwhelming approval of 20 people in favor, 0 people against, and 1 abstention.

Reports had already come out that the FDA, which received the advisory committee’s recommendation, would approve it as early as the day, but there was no official announcement from the FDA until a tweet by President Trump was posted at 7:37 am.

Therefore, the tweet was accepted as the FDA’s decision to approve the advisory committee’s recommendations.

Reuters reported that “the FDA advisory committee met to discuss Modena vaccine on the 17th, and the FDA was expected to decide (approval) as soon as possible on the 18th,” said President Trump’s tweet, which came before the FDA’s official announcement.

However, the FDA clarified that it is still reviewing the data and has not yet approved it after the media inquiries followed.

It is unclear whether President Trump was informed of the FDA’s approval decision in advance, or expressed that approval was given with the advisory committee’s recommendation for approval the day before.

However, considering President Trump’s use of the word’overwhelmingly’, it is likely that he referred to the results of the Advisory Committee the day before, which all but one abstentioned without opposition.

While the spread of Corona 19 in the United States is very serious, President Trump has shown attention to the image that he is making great efforts to approve, distribute, and inoculate vaccines.

In the process of first approving a vaccine from Pfizer-Bioentech last week, he also put strong pressure on the FDA’s rapid approval.

President Trump tweeted, “Director Han, deliver that damn vaccine” to FDA Director Stephen Han, perhaps because of the decision that the FDA’s approval announcement was delayed after the FDA advisory committee recommended Pfizer vaccine approval on the 10th.

In addition, reports were reported that White House Secretary Mark Meados called Han Director on the 11th and pressed the FDA to resign if the FDA did not approve emergency use by the same day (11th).
