My issue with Emergency Use Authorization is by how many people use that to mean “FDA Approved”.

The public is not smart enough to tell the difference between something that passed 3 clinical trials and things that did not but are available for use.

The FDA brand is diluted now. I think this needs legislative intervention.

Another damaging thing is that this is used outside of the country, people who shouldnt care will look at the mere acknowledgement by the FDA as validation.

Its really shocking to me.

I’ve seen it ALOT amongst fly-by-night procurement brokers during the pandemic.
