To the editor:
If the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves a COVID-19 vaccine prematurely because of political pressure before it’s proven safe and effective, the name of the FDA should change to the Fake News and Disinformation Agency.
The only way a premature vaccine could achieve any credibility would be for the president, vice president, FDA commissioner and their families to roll up their sleeves and take the vaccine at the time of the announcement.
Otherwise, I will not be rolling up my sleeve anytime soon.

Note from KBJ: Please promise that you won't "take the vaccine," Arthur. In fact, please promise that you won't let your family members take it, either. It sounds like you're the one politicizing the issue.
