Did Dr Christine Grady assist the FDA?

In August 2021, critics of the Covid-19 vaccine claimed Grady is linked to the FDA.

The full approval of the Pfizer vaccine prompted individuals to take to social media and accuse Grady of being involved in the FDA approval of the vaccine.

The claim is false.

The FDA worked "night and day" reviewing the 340,000-page license application submitted by Pfizer for the Covid-19 vaccine, the center's director, Peter Marks, said at the time.

These claims were not the first to break out, as Facebook posts surfaced in May of 2021 making the same claim - that Grady had a hand in the FDA's vaccine approval.

The National Institute for Health told the Associated Press in May 2021: "Dr Grady does not approve the conduct of any research protocol, and she has no input into the FDA process for issuing emergency use authorizations."
