fda commissioner hahn testified to congress about the high standards of the fda. commissions with 30,000 trial participation rate as well as engagement with burbac would be concrete ways to defend that. we must remain vigilant. must not distort the decision on whether or not to approve a vaccine. we must expedite developing a vaccine but we cannot cut corners in the process. with that, i would like to recognize the full committee chair carolyn maloney for her opening remarks. >> thank you to all your colleagues and i want to thank each of our witnesses about the importance of promoting transparency to assure the coronavirus vaccine is safe and effective. we are fortunate to have such a distinguished panel on the subcommittee and i'm grateful that you've taken time out of your schedule to share your insights with us. i would like to recognize doctor jason schwartz of the yale school of public health. i have the privilege of hosting him last may, i'm delighted to see you again, doctor schwartz, thank you for joining us and i want to really come in the leadership of

of the fda. commitments to a 30,000 trial participation rate as well as engagement with vrbpac would be concrete ways to guarantee that independent and rigor. we must remain vigilant to the -- [inaudible] political tactics or media campaigns. it does not follow consumer sentiment or approval ratings. the impending elections, the stock market and yearning for return to normalcy must not distort the decision on whether or not to approve a a vaccine. we must expedite development of vaccine, but we cannot cut corners in the process. with that i would now like to recognize the full committee chair, carolyn maloney, for her opening remarks. and thank thank you, chairwoman baloney, for joining us as well. >> thank you to all of my colleagues, and i especially want to thank each of our witnesses are joining us this morning to hear from experts about the importance of promoting transparency to ensure that the coronavirus vaccine is pretty safe and effective. where fortunate to have such a distinguished pa

the fda will be evaluating what's before it. the standards and guidelines say populations like elderly populations, people with chronic diseases and pregnant women, minority populations in those populations. trials thatto the approved safe and effective, this extensive post market surveillance with the guidelines and also to monitor the safety of the vaccines after they've been approved and put into use. you national would expect there and they'dme signals work very actively to ensure those be found. the last thing i wanted to address is operation warp speed. plan tonistration's accelerate. provide financial support for studies with the most promising candidates in the acceleration. and then to make financial commitments vaccine doses. the main thing i want to emphasize about this will be evaluated by the regulatory -- process. what if we invest a large amount of money and it doesn't work very well? if it works, tens of millions will be available. it's a big gamble. in a sense, operation warp speed is independent of the fda proc

companies that are running the trials, the trials or under enormous amount of scrutiny, both by the fda and by the public. the guidance the fda put out -- that include a lot of this concerns other committee members have raised, including the representation of diverse populations, sample size, looking to safety signals. i believe, and again, maybe i'm being naive, but i don't think so. i think we're going to see a lot of information. >> i hate to interrupt you but i want to make the point back when i was a very small child, i remember standing in line at my elementary school with my mother to get the sugar cube for polio. i had friends that have polio, and i'm excited about what the possibilities can be, and i also feel that there are many companies that have agreed to donate millions of doses to the federal government for distribution. and i just want to see what is it to ensure that those doses are distributed for all americans across the country. >> and i think that operation warp speed is a step in that direction so that we don't have to fight over who gets the vaccine. it's potentia

and fda. so -- and our time to approval is shorter on average than any other regulatory agency in the world. that being said, we have memoranda of understanding and relationships with all of the really developed world's regulatory agencies. so we're talking all the time. we have a very important harmonization effort apros all the medical products. we are committed to this product. i can tell you this, we will look at data from any source. we will apply our criteria objective from any sort. so to me it's a race to get the vaccine and therapeutics down, but it's not a competition. at the end of the day, we want those things available for the american public, for the world, and we'll take the steps necessary to look at the data. the data have to be robust. they have to fulfill what we consider the gold standard for medical approval. >> would you want to hazard a guess about when a vaccine would be available to the public? >> mike, i'm a cancer doctor. i learned a long time ago i don't have a crys

that's where the fda comes in. that's where the fda's review of the actual data itself, which no other country in the world claims to do, that's where that kind of review, that kind of insulating of the reviewers from the manufacturers is so important. and that's the way it's managed. but it's a given that most of the time the studies will have been done by the manufacturers themselves. >> thank you very much. where see my time has see my t yield back. >> thank you. i now recognize representative -- unmute. >> thanks, chairman and panelists. thank you. watching your testimony, listen and watch each other and it's been interesting. so the first question i have and dr. finnegan you brought up a couple network, there are networks if place but really didn't get activated promptly. we talk and active and petal, the acronym, to everybody but start with you dr. finnegan. a pandemic comes. you see this thing starting to roll. is there some lead agency, is it cdc, nih, barta, who is it that says to these networks, okay. eve

frankly, at fda, for example, it's the key to everything we do. modernizing our data, understanding that the data is in a usable format, that those are critical aspects. i think we've learned over this pandemic that having access to data about the actual disease has been critical to providing information to providers and also in the great public sector we have in this country in terms of developing and manufacturing the medical products we need. i'll do give you an example. when this all started, not a whole lot of information was known about transmission. we have learned that covid-19 older andose who are those who are having comorbidities. thatarn from this disease may younger people, maybe as many as 30 or 40% are not symptomatically when they with this disease. so you can see that access in real time to data gives us much more that we can work with that helps us respond in a much more nimble way. certainly, accessing data from hospitals will be critical and we are really happy to partner with them for this. >> on going to bring it to a close,

the uk standards differ from the fda. how are you going to meet this challenge? >> as a global multinational company, we get our medicines approved around the world on a regular basis, understands that we're working to in the u.s. is set by the u.s. fda, both for manufacturing development perspective, we are also working -- >> excuse me. will there be a time difference between what is approved in the uk and what you would seek to have approved in the u.s.? >> there will depend on the data that each of the countries used to get approvals. we have ongoing studies in the united kingdom that the infection rate is low, we have studies going on in south africa and brazil. i think all the regulatory authorities are working as fast as they can. this will be the data from all of our studies, when we get approval around the world. >> thank you very much. i know that the ranking member of the full committee, mr. walton, asked a question about dosages, whether it would be one or two, and i want to follow up on that. if there are, too hard for -- how far apart will they be? i

these uk standards are different or they differ from the fda. how are you going to meet this challenge? >> is a global company we get our medicines approved throughout the world on a regular basis. that's how businesses reach nations around the world. it's set by the u.s. fda and for the manufacturing of development perspective we are also working -- >> would there be a time difference between what's approved in the uk and what you woulwhen theywould seek to haven the u.s.? hispanic that would depend on the data each of the countries use to get its approval, so we have ongoing studies in the united kingdom, the infection rate is low and they also have some in south africa and brazil as a part of the regulatory authority is working as fast as they can with us, and ultimately the data from the studies will give approval around the world. >> thank you very much. i know that the ranking member of the committee, mr. walden, asked a question about dosages, whether there would be one or two, and i want to follow up on that. if there aren't too, ho are

we will report that to the fda. these are federal agencies that are consumer protection agencies that care about health. what's important is that members of the public knows agencies are out there where they can report to us at fraud.org. we have 250 warning letters one of the main federal protection agencies, 80 warning letters from another one on covid and snake oil. anybody involved in peddling these products should be reported to the ftc and the fda. i believe the supreme court ruled recently that even the president of the united states is not immune from investigation. i would say who's ever out there making these claims, no matter what your status is, stop doing it because it's against federal law. anybody making these claims should be investigated. host: i want to show one graphic for our visual learners. this is from the ftc consumer sentinel network reports, looking at reports of fraud and identity theft over time. you can see the spike particularly in fraud reports here on this chart starting in march at t

that is what the fda has done. japan says if the united states has tested something, we will look at it for a month or two and as long as they are test looks good, then new drug is available here. they do not replicate the expensive american process. again, there is no reason why we should in coming up with vaccines have to replicate serious work done in foreign universities or companies. there is a lot we can do. competition always beats monopolies and government is always a monopoly. host: let's hear from renee in waterbury, connecticut. republican line. caller: hello, grover norquist. i have some questions for you and i hope you can be as honest as you can. why does someone with as much education, wealth, and backing behind you feel you need to take the cares act for your nonprofit and at the same time you are asking for smaller government, yet you are taking this money and you have all this and do you feel at all guilty for the mom and pops that cannot get the money now because you took it, and was there any al

says the fda approval speeds the process of for most people. its rival claims it is already meeting those nuls. this comes as state health officials are saying people should only get tested if they really need it so the labs don't get backlogged even more than they are right now. for many they just want answers. >> if you got faster results i feel you could get faster treatment and find out who you might have exposed faster. >> reporter: ian cull, "today in the bay." >>> happening today for you state lawmakers try to get to the bottom of all the recent glitches in the overwhelmed employment development program. the flood of recent jobless claims has led to a huge processing backlog. today the state budget committee will hold a virtual hearing. governor newsom yesterday announcing his office will also now look into the problems and ways to modernize the system. >>> three bills spurred by covid-19's impact on the state are advancing. one would allow high school students to get their diplomas even if their spring classes were interrupted by the pa
