I'm with Braineack on this one. The U.S. (including the FDA) has not been straight with us regarding Covid. They've fomented panic **** and have not let "the science" determine the course of action.

Vaccinated Americans are more likely to die from a lightning strike than covid. Don’t bring back restrictions.



"...The same is true for unvaccinated children. As Johns Hopkins University professor Marty Makary points out in the Wall Street Journal, CDC data show that of the more than 600,000 Americans who died with a covid diagnosis code in their record, just 335 were children under 18 — and the CDC has no idea whether they had a preexisting condition and whether their covid diagnosis was incidental or causal. A research team at Johns Hopkins led by Makary looked at 48,000 children under 18 diagnosed with covid-19, and found a mortality rate of zero among children without a preexisting medical condition, such as pediatric cancer. Indeed, there is no official government data to show whether any healthy children have died as a result of covid-19.

The fact is children are at extremely low risk from covid-19. And this much is certain: Teachers who are vaccinated and otherwise healthy face no serious risk from their unvaccinated students. But with the surged caused by the delta variant expected to peak in late August or early September — right when schools are set to open — expect the teacher unions to use delta to demand that schools stay closed until young children are vaccinated."

On a separate note, the vaccine is not 'gene therapy'.

According to the article he posted:

The BLA approval letter approves Pfizer's application for a license to label its COVID-19 drug with the brand name COMIRNATY. This letter also spells out the terms and requirements for nine additional clinical trials over five years, and yearly status reports, to study the acknowledged occurrences of myocarditis and pericarditis that have followed the administering of the Pfizer shots. This license to label and manufacture is not a full approval of the drug, which clearly is still subject to many years of clinical trials.

I can't help but notice a certain similarity between cries of "That's not a REAL vaccine" or "That's not REAL approval," and those who say "That wasn't REAL socialism!"

Can you deny that Pfizer's liability is not intimately tied to the nuances in the way this FDA "approval" is being applied to their vaccine?

I know, but that text feels more like post approval monitoring. So I'm still not sure why this would mean it's not 'full approval'.

at the very least I'm sure we can all agree it's a pretty **** vaccine for 90% of the population. I can't imagine anyone reasonable thinks that a vaccine that allows you to catch and distribute the virus it is made for is good.
