Two studies published Wednesday found that the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine was highly effective at preventing infection and severe cases of the virus caused by more infectious variants.
The findings indicate that the two-dose inoculation, which has already been approved for emergency use and distributed in the U.S. and other countries, could also protect against more transmissible variants fueling new waves of the virus across the globe.

Here's the trial schedule for the Pfizer jab, latter part of Phase 1 and all of Phase 2 & 3, evidently being run concurrently.
Four years total and it was just started last year. https://media.tghn.org/medialibrary/2020/11/C4591001_Clinical_Protocol_Nov2020_Pfizer_BioNTech.pdf
We are the trial participants. Kinda brings new meaning to the phrase; "We're all in this together"
Fake News. Vaccines have been 'authorized' under an Emergency Use Authorization. Not 'approved'.
Pfizer is filing for full FDA approval this month. Moderna will be right behind them. Both are likely to get it either later this summer or early fall.
If you survive the jab, you will be protected.
Got my second Pfizer "jab" this past Sunday. The sole noticeable sensation was mild soreness at the injection site which passed in one day.
Only 7% of Sweden got the vax
They don’t have any scientific evidence.
There hasn’t been enough time to do double bind studies and they can’t say whether it wards off serious cases because they don’t know what people have been exposed to or even what variants are here or How many variant there are!
This is just a propaganda article trying to sell more Pfizer vaccine!
I can’t believe these greedy people trying to push vaccines with a number of serious side effects!
I got my first Pfizer a few weeks ago... I’m debating getting the second...
Are you ok with full FDA approval (and then the likely employment and consumer mandates) before clinical trials, as originally approved and designed, are completed?
This article indicates the clinical trials may be forever tainted and inconclusive: https://washingtonmonthly.com/2021/03/26/the-fda-cut-off-covid-vaccine-testing-that-was-a-really-bad-idea/
“The FDA grants an EUA based on preliminary data only in emergencies, and obviously the pandemic qualifies. Full approval is withheld until clinical trials are complete.”
I can't believe so many people (especially here!) are falling for it.
It took a while, but they finally ended the aborted cell line debates.
“and they can’t say whether it wards off serious cases”
Exactly. The incomplete Phase 3 trials had so few serious cases in either study arm that randomness cannot be ruled out. All their “efficacy” numbers are based on mild-symptom covid cases.
You are probably dead and don’t know it.
I almost put off the 2nd jab so I could stretch out the immunity but I was afraid they would nag me to death.
The vaccine did change my DNA so that I am now smarter and sexier. That was a nice benefit.
I’m okay with the FDA following normal procedures. They did so when the EUAs were granted. Clinical trials are always kept running past the point where there FDA’s immediate data requirements are met.
Clinical trials often run past the primary completion date (the date when the last measure is taken of the primary effect of the medicine) by years so that secondary effects can be measured and adverse events can continue to be collected. In the case of an EUA medicine, 6 months of data on real world usage AFTER the EUA (which required Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 clinical trials) is required in order to file for full approval. After that, priority review is an option which sets the FDA target for response for no longer than 6 months. During that period, FDA is monitoring both the trials and the real world data for safety and efficacy information.
If after over a year and a half of trials and monitoring, and massive deployment providing more data than ever, it’s determined that they’re safe and effective, then yes, I’m perfectly fine with them getting full FDA approval. I don’t know why anyone would want to add more bureaucratic red tape with arbitrary amounts of additional testing. I’ve seen people here wanting to see 10 years of data first. So no new drug or treatment can be used for at least 10 years just in case there’s some ill effect down the road? No thanks. FDA is slow enough to approval anything already.
Plenty of data out of Israel demonstrating that the Pfizer vaccine is extremely effective.
Israel has vaccinated most of their adult population. New COVID-19 cases have dropped from a high of almost 10,000 per day to 68 per day. COVID-19 deaths have dropped from a high of almost 100 per day to 1. 1 death in the whole country. All their neighbors are seeing COVID-19 cases and deaths either hold steady or rise. But not Israel, where they’re vaccinating everyone.
Actually, they didn’t.
When did they get the EUA?
When is the year-and-a-half time period up?
