Remember how the FDA delayed the Coronavirus Vaccine until after the election by requiring the strictest standards ever for a vaccine

A month before the election the FDA changed the rules on approving vaccines. The motivation was that they needed stricter rules this time for approval because people were concerned that this vaccine would be particularly dangerous. Just something to remember:

The most notable guideline to emerge from the FDA’s new advisory stipulates that data from phase 3 studies of any potential COVID-19 vaccine should include a median follow-up duration of at least two months after patient’s receive their final dose.

This guidance ensures that no COVID-19 vaccine is likely to be approved before the US presidential election, which is taking place on 3 November. US president Donald Trump has said a number of times over the last few months that a vaccine for COVID-19 could come before election day ...

So, the FDA did not want President Trump to get credit for the fastest developed vaccine.

Apparantly, they changed the rules to keep the companies from announcing until after the election.

President Trump has been battling the administrative state for his entire term.

The FDA is one of he pillars of the administrative state.

Exactly. Whoever is the head of the FDA and/or made this move needs to be hanged...publicly...at high noon...in the town square...with no hood.

let us remember that they MADE the virus and
when the USPTO said NO, they made it malevolent
with the spike protein overlaping an entry point
AND a placental tertiary structure (allowing
GateXi to sterilize girls this way as the
Pfizer group KNOWS),
and they KNOW who whacked the makers of HCQ
and they KNOWINGLY kept hidden that MOUTHWASH
destroys coronavirus absolutely,
and they KNOWINGLY fought good rx like HCQ, megadose
vitC, vitD, Zn to assure everyone would HAVE TO
BE TESTED (ka ching on royalties)
and would get vaccines (ka ching on royalties).

Meanwhile to assure spread, they NEVER in 11 months
collected, burned or destroy one mask (which they
KNEW increased disease).

WTF is going on.
Why are they not taken to GITMO for releasing THEIR
moneymaker????

please seek mental health assistance. What state are you in? I can help find you a referral.

All the ‘Agencies’ were politicized. They simply COULD NOT be seen to help Trump in any way. I detest the left who has made politics in this country a blood-sport. I also detest that the left owns the Pravda-Media here and can simply pronounce someone or something ‘evil or worthless’.

And speaking of blood-sports, now EVERY sporting event seems more interested in ‘Social Justice’ than actually performing on the ‘field of battle’. Because you know, wanting to win is way too aggressive (unlike burning down cities......THAT aggression is appropriate). I used to enjoy sports, but no more. Youth sports only, from now on for me.

Or he’s a comedian.

[Harpotoo]

No not really but at this point whatever.

Yep. All agencies are politicized. As is the MSM, and all public universities. And apparently critical state election officials like Attorney General and Secretary of State. And key District Attorneys. And Hollywood and other entertainment industries. And all huge corporations. Everyone’s woke now. Especially Millenials. As a group they are the ones most excited with each new restriction of their rights. A virtue-signaling mob.
It’s a miracle Trump was able to accomplish what he did. If I was a Lefty I’d be proud of how we pulled it off.
I’m rethinking my position against Martial Law. Would be terrible but would force the Last Fight for sure.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if the hospitals were overwhelmed with patients having a reaction to the vaccine? Thanks, but I will be waiting at the end of the line for my vaccination.

despite the ad hominem of yours,
you joined FR the same year they filed
patent on this evil monstrosity.

If you want a conspiracy,

Pfizer was impacted and didn’t agree nor like Trumps push for lower prescription drug costs. He stepped all over their price gauging when addressing their pricing models with four (4) different executive orders. Trump literally cost them billions.

Is it possible that Pfizer stalled a few days releasing their vaccine news until shortly after the elections, and then denying the administrations involvement until questioned about the federal money (operation Warp Speed) had something to do with their disdain for Trump?

I don’t care how fast it is released ... politicians and their children, first!!

This is the one area in which I am an absolute expert - and this is 100% right.

Had the safety rules not been changed at the last minute, people would have been vaccinated in late October, and there is zero question in my mind that the only reason for the change was Orange Man Bad.

[faithhopecharity]

well, PDJT gets credit for leading the vaccine charge because there are now two and soon 3 vaccines for covid!

however, I will say one thing that might just possibly excuse a little bit of the FDA delay...

at least the first vaccine is employing a brand new medical method inside the patient’s body....something that has never been done before (and frankly did NOT need to be done for Covid! but anyway the pharma company did it).... and there ARE some safety concerns with this new approach..... perhaps, just perhaps, FDA felt it needed time to check it out first?

[Wayne07]

These patents are not for the new coronavirus or its vaccine

"Wouldn’t it be ironic if the hospitals were overwhelmed with patients having a reaction to the vaccine?"

They would be treated as covid cases, their numbers added to the current chart and the quarantine will continue...

Per protocol agreed to by FDA and Pfizer, they were to release data after the first 30(?) patients results. That would have been around a week before election.

Per protocol. Agreed to.

Instead, Pfizer got some bureaucrat at FDA to agree to wait until 90(?) patient data came in. A week after the electikn. Very quietly, no fanfare, Pfizer and FDA agreed to not help Trump with the great early data. Showed 80% success (minimum).

Broke. Protocol.
