I think its that they can't legally administer a non fda approved vaccine (that hasn't passed clinical trials) by using emergency use authorization if a treatment already exists.
They are skipping the long term trials by calling it an "emergency" and they would not be legally allowed to do that if a clear treatment was shown to exist.

So there's no treatment for chicken pox? Or mumps or measles? I mean, they used to have treatments. Maybe I'm unclear on the definition of treatment.
