FDA Sleight of Hand: Does the Pfizer Vaccine Really Have Full Approval?
It’s official: The FDA approved Pfizer’s Comirnaty vaccine for ages 16 and up. Pfizer’s BioNTech product is still not approved. Could this approval be a way to avoid liability in the United States? (Photo credit: Capuski/E+/GettyImagesPlus)
Item: The British Medical Journal reported August 24, “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted full approval to the two dose Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to protect against covid-19 for people aged 16 and above.… The vaccine has been used under emergency authorisation since December 2020, with Pfizer applying for full approval on 7 May 2021 and approval being granted in under four months, the fastest time in FDA history.… Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told the national television programme PBS Newshour that the FDA … ‘worked double time fast. They just did not cut any corners.’”
Item: According to a September 9 article in USA Today, “Biden announced a new rule by the Labor Department that will require all businesses with 100 or more employees to be vaccinated or submit to testing at least once a week…. ‘What more is there to wait for? What more do you need to see?’ he said. ‘We’ve made vaccinations free, safe and convenient. The vaccine is FDA approved. Over 200 million Americans have gotten at least one shot. We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us.’”
Item: Air Force News Service noted September 22, “The COVID-19 vaccine has been mandated across the Department of Defense and despite its demonstrated effectiveness and safety, a host of myths have left some Airmen and Guardians hesitant to receive it. While social media posts and some news outlets may make it harder to keep up with what is fact or fiction, the science is clear … approved COVID-19 vaccines work.”
