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.

My father saw Dachau not long after liberation. He spent quite a while in Munich.

He died in March at 95.

I did not remember that the same inscription was at Dachau.

Dachau was not a camp like Auschwitz, it was largely a political prisoner camp. Not primarily Jewish. Lots of Russian soldiers and other groups that Hitler determined were anti Nazi.

One of dad’s high school friends was Lt. Jack Westbrook. He and his men were directly involved in the liberation of the camp.

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.

We know people from California to the East Coast with no medical need for a booster injection, getting one at a retail pharmacy in their area.

Most were contacted by a local retail pharmacy by text or email to just come and get their booster injection with no appts.. Those receiving the booster shots were happy that they got them.

no mention that the two disagreed with CDC, only that the FDA should make the call.

That’s what I think. Its a turf war. FDA guys were not included or allowed in the decision making.

Absolutely true. Informed consent is required for all vaccines.

It will never be made mandatory in the US because they tried that with smallpox, and it was a huge disaster.

Besides there are a few new variants that are probably going to make all of the vaccines completely irrelevant. So I am not rushing to get my booster.

Do you see any evidence that people who take the jab are “informed” or know they can decide not to consent?

How can a company “require” vaccination without accepting the liability of possible horrible side effects?

How can the US Government “require” all Military personnel to take the shot and then don’t expect to be liable for possible horrible side effects?

This is simply not like what is seen on TV.

There is more involved in this than just Public Health.

It is about subjection and deception. Trust me, I can smell this one.

We had to sign a paper before getting the vaccine, and answer a few questions.
Our signature indicated we granted consent.
A great long list of all the possible negative outcomes were listed.

I think you are unaware of the mutations this virus can make
and the drop in populations the world can face.

No mutations take place in vaccinated people. This is the reason they are pushing so hard to get everyone vaccinated.

Also we will know more soon but the newest bad boy mutated covid looks to evade all previous infections/natural immunity and all vaccinated immunity.
In addition is is even more contagious than delta.
We would be starting all over again with a much nastier virus.

This could take out a huge portion of the world. I am not being dramatic. It would be a major catastrophe.

I will find some links for you later if you like.

“No mutations take place in vaccinated people”

Who told you that? That is a total lie.

Look into “antibody dependent enhancement” you won’t like what you find. And they have know about these a long time.

Israel is the most highly vaccinated country in the world. And they are having break through cases and they are having many bad reactions.

No, Thank you. I’m not interested in links. Have enough.

The world wide danger comes from the attempt to make everyone’s response the same. That is where the global disaster comes in.

Who have you been getting your info from?
