CDC’s Advisory Committee On Immunization Practices Holds Emergency Meeting About Coronavirus Vaccine
The group advises the federal government on vaccines, including who will get the vaccines and how they'll be given.
Dec. 1, PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices met Tuesday on an emergency basis because emergency use authorization for a COVID-19 vaccine could be coming soon.
The committee recommended that health care workers and long-term care facility residents receive the vaccine first, according to CBS News.
“We now have two different vaccines — one from Pfizer and one from Moderna — that appear to be safe and effective. Both organizations have applied for EUA status. And we expect that the Pfizer vaccine ruling would come next week. So there is an urgency,” says Dr. Marc Itskowitz, a primary care internist at the Allegheny Health Network.
The group advises the federal government on vaccines, including who will get the vaccines and how they’ll be given. The committee looks at priority groups, risks and benefits, and dosing schedules, especially in the initial rollout. continue to read

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell testified on the response of their respective agencies to the coronavirus pandemic.

Top Trump ally Attorney General Bill Barr rejects election fraud claims
US Attorney General William Barr says his justice department has found no proof to back President Donald Trump's claims of fraud in the 2020 election.
Dec. 2 - "To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election," said the top US law enforcement agent.
His comments are seen as a big blow to Trump, who has not accepted defeat.
He and his campaign have filed lawsuits in states that he lost, as they begin certifying Joe Biden as the winner.
President-elect Biden defeated the incumbent by a margin of 306 to 232 votes in the US electoral college, which chooses the US president. And in the popular vote, Biden won at least 6.2 million more votes than Trump. continue to read
