“I think that these vaccines will be safe in the sense that they won’t cause a serious or permanent adverse event when tested in 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 people’... ‘HOPEFULLY, that will also be true in post-approval when it’s tested and seen in 20 million, 30 million people.’
- Dr. Paul A. Offit with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
We are in the post-approval (post-EUA) testing period for at least 2 more years.
What is the basis for emergency authorization when we have multiple effective treatment protocols currently in use?
Even if you believed that using old people as guinea pigs was OK, why would you give an experimental vaccine to groups with close to ZERO deaths from cv-19? I know, I know: “because we can”. You Mengele-bots are so tricky
“why would you give an experimental vaccine to groups with close to ZERO deaths from cv-19?”
About 18,000 Americans died of COVID in May. Over 99% were unvaccinated.
Preventable deaths. Many times more preventable hospitalizations, at great personal suffering and expense, as well as some degree of disability.
You may not understand the design and function of these vaccines enough to judge them as anything but experimental, but the experts who are professionally responsible for judging this have assessed that they are no longer experimental. That they are in fact suitable - safe and effective - to be used on a mass scale.
This same assessment has been made by virtually all of the organizations professionally responsible to make these determinations, for all of the major Governments on Earth.
Full US approval is highly likely for Pfizer and Moderna, before the end of this year. More likely than ever before, as confirmatory evidence mounts Worldwide.
