.@SteveFDA: "I was trying to do what I do with patients, because patients often understand things in absolute terms vs relative terms. And I should've been more careful, there's no question about it. ... I frankly did not do a good job of explaining that." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Media coverage of FDA’s decision to issue emergency authorization for convalescent plasma has questioned whether this was a politically motivated decision. The decision was made by FDA career scientists based on data submitted a few weeks ago.
