French President Emmanuel Macron is praising the U.S government for its efforts to rapidly develop and distribute COVID-19 vaccines, Politico reports.
“The Americans did this very well, much better than us,” Macron said.
He cited America’s federal system of government and a greater willingness to take risk as some of the key reasons for its success.
Macron described the Operation Warp Speed vaccine-development program, which was launched by the Trump administration, as “extremely innovative,” especially compared to what he called Europe’s “slower strategy.” EU agencies “are sometimes perhaps too cautious,” he said, before adding, “what’s great is that we can benefit from what the Americans did. When they compressed phases two and three of clinical trials, they allowed all of humanity to progress. It’s great.”
I am extremely proud to be an American Legion member and to have obtained this information from the American Legion Magazine dated April 2021, printed on page 44 under the Health Section.
Very Respectfully,
