I'm not sure how the FDA deals with public pressure, but i imagine at some point they are going to face heavy criticism especially if most of the world begins rolling out vaccines and we don't. I really think vaccines are the only way out of this.

IMO, Pfizer will be approved by the end of the week. Moderna will be the week after. Two weeks TOPS. Vaccines will be distributed to at risk population within the next 2-3 weeks.

I do not agree with the logic that a country approving something before us implies they are doing a better job. There is no grand conspiracy here. There are necessary rigors to ensure vaccine efficacy and safety that are in place for a reason (see RSV Vaccine in the 60's).

Especially given the disinformation climate we live in, it's imperitive that the job is done correctly. I would be curious what concrete evidence exists out there that anything else is going on. Dunning-Kruger at it's finest.
