The United Kingdom became the world's first country to approve a COVID-19 vaccine, and will begin distributing the vaccine to its citizens. The apparent rush to approval drew criticism from Dr. Fauci. He later apologized saying "I have a great deal of confidence in what the UK does both scientifically and from a regulator standpoint." He further clarified his point by saying that the United States's approval process will take longer, but will reach a decision soon.
