Abstract

The Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) policy, a representative biodefense policy, was legislated in the United States in 2001 based on lessons learned from Amerithrax, whereas Korea's EUA policy was based on lessons learned from the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome outbreak in 2015. Due to these divergent origins, the U.S. EUA's homeland security objectives were specialized to deal with highly pathogenic biological agents that could be exploited for bioterrorism, whereas the Korean EUA pursues disease containment purposes to strengthen mass‐testing practices. During the early phase of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the U.S. EUA revealed limitations in its integration with public health surveillance, laboratory partnerships, and insurance systems, which hampered the rapid expansion of testing capacities. Thereafter, once the limitations of the EUA were circumvented, the testing capacity of the United States began to catch up with that of South Korea, and later skyrocketed after solving these issues. La política de autorización de uso de emergencia (EUA), una política representativa de biodefensa, se legisló en los Estados Unidos en 2001 en base a las lecciones aprendidas de Amerithrax, mientras que la política de EUA de Corea se basó en las lecciones aprendidas del brote del síndrome respiratorio de Oriente Medio (MERS) en 2015 Debido a estos orígenes divergentes, los objetivos de seguridad nacional de la EUA EUA se especializaron para tratar con agentes biológicos altamente patógenos que podrían explotarse para el bioterrorismo, mientras que la EUA coreana persigue propósitos de contención de enfermedades para fortalecer las prácticas de pruebas masivas. Durante la fase inicial de la pandemia de COVID‐19, la EUA EUA reveló limitaciones en su integración con la vigilancia de la salud pública, las asociaciones de laboratorios y los sistemas de seguros, lo que obstaculizó la rápida expansión de las capacidades de prueba. A partir de entonces, una vez que se eludieron las limitaciones de la EUA, la capacidad de prueba de los Estados Unidos comenzó a alcanzar a la de Corea del Sur y luego se disparó después de resolver estos problemas. 美国在2001年根据炭疽攻击事件(Amerithrax)的经验教训制定了一项具有代表性的生物防卫政策,即紧急使用授权(EUA)政策,而韩国的EUA政策则基于2015年爆发的中东呼吸综合征(MERS)的经验教训。鉴于这些不同的起源,美国EUA的国土安全目标专门应对可能被用于生物恐怖主义的高致病性生物制剂,而韩国EUA则追求疾病遏制目的,以加强大规模检测实践。在2019冠状病毒病(COVID‐19)大流行的早期阶段,美国EUA在与公共卫生监测、实验室合作伙伴关系和保险系统的整合方面存在局限性,这阻碍了检测能力的快速扩展。此后,当绕过EUA的限制后,美国的检测能力开始赶上韩国,并在解决这些问题后,检测能力直线上升。
