Vaccines against the novel coronavirus were developed in record time. But getting those vaccines into the arms of Americans has been frustratingly slow at a time when speeding up vaccinations is literally a matter of life and death.

The arrival of two coronavirus vaccines authorized by the Food and Drug Administration for emergency use this month has prompted fierce debate about who ought to be immunized first.

The vote Thursday by a U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panel to recommend an emergency use authorization for Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine is an important and welcome step in our battle to end the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was always clear President-elect Biden's health secretary would advocate for more government control of the country's health care system.

Any successful plan for ending the pandemic will require Americans to trust their government officials. For that to happen, officials need to start practicing what they preach.

President Trump hurts the American people when he acts to deprive drug companies of earnings they need to develop new drugs and treatments. And he presents no evidence for his claim that drug companies delayed announcing progress on coronavirus vaccines to hurt his reelection chances.

For many people, the risks associated with foregoing medical care are far greater than the risk of possible exposure to the coronavirus.

President-elect Joe Biden’s ambitious plan for a dramatic and costly overhaul of America’s health care sector that would start us down the road to socialized medicine and worse health care has no chance of approval if Republicans capture majority control of the U.S. Senate.

When President Trump accused Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden at their debate Thursday of supporting socialized medicine, Biden called the claim “ridiculous.” But in fact, Trump is right.

As they try to get the coronavirus' spread under control, states must resist the urge to impose blanket stay-at-home orders.
