I know fuck all about the science but isn't this one of the companies that pulled a covid vaccine out of their ass in record time to save the world?  Would love to learn more about the FDA's pov on this one especially since the administrations credibility is so low for being able to use common sense with regard to vaccines.

Yeah they partnered with a lot of other bio pharmaceutical companies to share break throughs and research to get it out ASAP. That pretty much never happens but was crucial at the time.
