The scientific head of Operation Warp Speed, Dr. Moncef Slaoui, said Dec. 1: “Within 24 hours, maybe at most 36 to 48 hours, from the approval, the vaccine can be in people’s arms.” However, Peter Marks at the FDA is still dragging his feet on any approval. The successful crash program put the U.S. in a situation where a Covid vaccine could have been deployed to the most vulnerable senior populations, beginning no later than Oct. 20. Further, Slaoui knows that we are positioned to inoculate 20 million Americans in December.
