A group of American and European drug manufacturers issued a collective statement Tuesday in which they pledged to uphold long-established standards as they try to develop a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen commonly referred to as the “novel coronavirus.”
Normally, the process of developing a vaccine takes years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused wide-ranging and severe consequences across the globe, and drug companies — and governments — are keen to see a vaccine developed and deployed as quickly as possible. To that end, manufacturers such as Pfizer and AstraZeneca are working furiously to get an immunization against the virus up and running as quickly as possible.
However, as CNBC reported, nine leading pharmaceutical companies publicly stated that their development of a coronavirus vaccine won’t be rushed, and that the process will still be carried out according to scientific rigor.
