gk10012001 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine got full FDA approval today. CNBC narrator said they expect to sell 33 billion USD of vaccine business! The Public Readiness and Preparedness Act (PREP) which was invoked by the Health and Human Services Secretary is still in effect. The 2005 law empowers the HHS secretary to provide legal protection to companies making or distributing critical medical supplies, such as vaccines and treatments, unless there’s “willful misconduct” by the company. The protection lasts until 2024. 33 billion buckaroos seems like a lot to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many businesses and companies are mandting vaccinations, and are succeeding in the courts against suits trying to stop that. One suit trying to stop vaccine mandates for students at a university, the court ruled, the student does not need to go to that school and can go somewhere else. Well that is far from true in general. It can be hard to get into a school. One may have scholarships for just that school, along with many other reasons. But, the judge has spoken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Link to what the OP summarized... FDA grants full approval to Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid shot, clearing path to more vaccine mandates The FDA granted Pfizer and BioNTech full U.S. approval of their Covid-19 vaccine. The move may encourage some unvaccinated Americans to get the shots as well as give more private businesses across the nation greater confidence to implement vaccine mandates. Up until now, the mRNA vaccine was on the U.S. market under an Emergency Use Authorization. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/23/fda-pfizer-biontech-covid-vaccine-wins-full-approval-clearing-path-to-mandates.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post walt1 Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 I had my Pfizer shot yesterday at MedPark in Bangkok , excellent service would recommend to anyone who can make it there. As for the anti crowd: The virus has killed millions The vaccine has "killed" thousands Wearing a mask has killed no-one Being ignorant is forgivable, but being blatantly stupid is not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 The anti-vaxxer pivot is well underway. Unable to now argue the Pfizer vaccine has not undergone approval by the FDA, they now switch to moaning about how much money Pfizer are making. Of course how much money a Pharmaceutical company is making is not a logical argument to not accept their safe, effective and FDA approve vaccine to reduce the risks from a highly contagious and often lethal virus - A virus for which the long term health impacts are not yet known. On the upside, perhaps having recognized the vast profits being made they’ll join to support those politicians who are campaigning to tax runaway corporate profits and the hyper wealthy. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVENKEEL Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 If the vaccine actually works why are some name calling the folks who don't want the vaccine. You're vaccinated, you're safe, why do you care so much what others do? It's their choice if they want to risk not taking the vaccine. I understand the Military and probably DOD personnel as I used to be. I've had anthrax, small pox and every other vaccine and drug known to mankind over my 20 yrs working as a civilian defense worker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Is it coincidental that both the manufacturer and the approval body are both in the USA? Quote AstraZeneca has promised it will not make a profit on the vaccine during the pandemic. https://time.com/5925495/oxford-astrazeneca-vaccine-approval/ AZ not yet approved by USA. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
