The Orlando Sentinel in Florida published FBR's latest op-ed on the importance of animal research for coronavirus vaccine development today.  

FBR President Matthew Bailey wrote:

"Many more are on the way. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are churning out hundreds of millions of doses. And just last month, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that the Food and Drug Administration could soon approve two more vaccine candidates.

"This massive vaccination campaign is happening less than a year after health officials confirmed the first known case of the virus on U.S. soil. Now, we’re moving toward overcoming the pandemic. For that, we can thank animal research."
