Warren Buffett famously stated, "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked."
It's interesting how the pandemic has helped expose the corruption, incompetence and institutional rot in American institutions that have historically been considered among the best, if not the best, in the world.
In addition to the FDA, just look at the CDC, which proved to be far less capable than widely believed, starting with its botched test kits and failure to test the first quarantined evacuees from Wuhan.
I read the FDA document which they approved the other one - it's a joke! It uses outdated claims which no longer apply, there's no analysis of any kind, etc.
But, to be fair, barely anyone cares about that.
The objective is to have these approvals formalized so that the woke can constitutionally mandate vaccination and punish those who don't comply.
1. It's a redundant renewal of the existing Pfizer under the exact same EUA - thus STILL NOT finished clinical efficacy and safety trials
2. It "pre-approves" a new future Pfizer vaccine that has not yet even been created nor passed even the first stage FDA efficacy and safety trials
So it's literally a bait-and-switch lie to try to get people to take the Pfizer NOW that is still under EUA (and not fully tested).
> It's a redundant renewal of the existing Pfizer under the exact same EUA
No, its a full approval of the existing Pfizer vaccine for those 16+. The EUA remains in place for younger people 12+.
> It "pre-approves" a new future Pfizer vaccine
It doesn't, I guess this is a misreading of the fact that the approval of the existing Pfizer vaccine includes, as such approvals do, the marketing name of the vaccine (“Comirnaty”), but this isn't a new vaccine, just the brand name for marketing the existing one.

Same reason that Ivermectin at less than $1 per dose is being poo-pooed by the FDA and Big Pharma.
