Two Food and Drug Administration senior officials are reportedly stepping down from their posts over a disagreement with the White House on the administration of booster shots

In a statement to CNBC, the FDA said that Marion Gruber, director of the agency’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review, and her deputy director, Phil Krause, will leave in October and November, respectively. 

duo was reportedly frustrated that the CDC and Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) was spearheading decisions that should be the responsibility of the FDA, the biotech news outlet Endpoint News reported, citing a former senior FDA leader as its source.

The source said that Gruber and Krause finally decided to step down after the Biden administration went ahead with a booster program starting the week of September 20 – without FDA approval.

Business as usual for the current administration. Eff everything up, then stand by and watch everything crash and burn.

THEN BLAME TRUMP!

Sounds like the 2 resigned because they didn’t like the cdc infringing on their turf. Not because they opposed the 3rd dose on medical grounds.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Exactly what I was thinking - they’ll just fill those slots with folks who WILL go along, no objections made, with The Regime.

Below is the biggest PPO on the west coast and probably the nation's guidance re booster shots.

Kaiser: FDA approval of Pfizer vaccine for people age 16 and older patients:

Kaiser Permanente welcomes the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) full approval of the Pfizer vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 in people 16 and up.

The vaccines are also available under the FDA’s rigorous scientific standards for emergency use authorization for the following patients:

The Pfizer vaccine for patients aged 12 to 15.

The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines for individuals aged 18 and up

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are available as a 3rd dose for certain immunocompromised patients.

Well. They can do whatever they like.

I won’t join them.

This does not pass the smell test. It stinks to high heaven.

They are not telling us where this is going and they want badly to disarm us along with it. That tells me what they are hiding from us would make us angry enough to fight them physically.

So, we wait.

There is no prior pattern to this. We are totally in uncharted waters.

No doubt that’s what happened with Obama’s assault on the Military

POTUS TRUMP has repeatedly stated: “It’s YOUR choice. I got one and feel fine”. Your decision as to YOUR CHOICE.”

Do remember reading/hearing his comment that BIG PHARMA had made no mention at the time of consistent booster shots and he felt they had hood winked the nation in this regard.

The CDC, unable to MAKE any laws. They can only make recommendations. Only CONGRESS is able to make LAWS! Of course with that old battle ax as speaker, she would stop at nothing to see that any law against citizens would appear CHOP CHOP to carry forth their agenda.

We should still get our boosters, right?

They are giving them out now. I saw at the pharmacist this morning people came in asking for the booster shot. The pharmacists gave it to them.

There are international elements related to vaccines regulation.

Stemming from the Nuremberg Trials of doctors. Out of that grew the Nuremberg code.

Informed Consent is required. We are neither informed or asked about consent.

I don’t think that San Fran Nan can overrule that.

And here in Texas? She can totally forget that crap. NOT going to happen.

Gov Abbott got his booster just before he tested positive.

I am a vaccinated, pro-vax COVID doctor planning to get Pfizer #3 as soon as I can - and I find this appalling.

Fine, that is their choice.

I personally like Governor Abbott.

But my decision is mine. Period.
