A virology professor who played a role in green-lighting the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization for Covid-19 vaccines died suddenly last week.

Dr. Almyra Oveta Fuller, a notable associate professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Michigan, died Friday at the age of 67.

Reports state Dr. Fuller died "following a brief illness unrelated to COVID," though there's no further information on the circumstances of her death.

Over the past few years, Dr. Fuller was a member of the Food and Drug Administration's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, which approved COVID-19 vaccines and boosters in the United States for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).

In the following video from December 2020, Dr. Fuller can be seen participating in a discussion concerning the FDA's potential approval of an EUA for Moderna's Covid-19 jab.

Previous tweets from Dr. Fuller also show she had been a fierce pro-vaccine proponent.

Dr. Fuller supported adding Covid-19 jabs to the list of required vaccines recommended by the CDC for students to attend public school.
