Assuming that all 18,000 employees can actually do the work. Im sure some FDA employees are spread through out various states and have various different responsibilities like focusing on the 'F' in FDA. And those people might not be qualified to work on the processing of papers on vaccines and drugs. That also assumes that they don't overload pfizer and other drug makers with questions that they can't answer in a reasonable time to meet the proposed deadline.
