No Matter What, Ethical Standards and Guidelines Are Number One
Early in 2020, President Donald Trump met with employees from the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention), Johnson & Johnson, and many other people to understand how they came up with a vaccine for the current crisis so quickly, especially when they have ethical standards to follow at all times.
In this meeting, many people learned that there is a difference between “being in a person” and a product. John Shiver, global head of vaccine research and development at Sanofi, stated that the vaccine is based on a previous vaccine, and it’s not near ready for product release, which is when it goes into hospitals and clinics. At the moment, they are focusing on studies so they can ensure everything is correct before any thought of release because they do have so many ethics to follow.
