If the Novavax vaccine was given full FDA approval, that would mean that Pfizer and Moderna must immediately stop delivering their vaccines as soon as Novovax begins distribution.

The article at the link states clearly that this is an emergency use authorization.

Yes. Did you forget my first sentence when reading my second one?

I'm saying that the FDA is protecting Pfizer and Moderna by holding back on full FDA approval for Novovax because they know that Novovax is ready to distribute in the United States.

Full FDA approval for Novovax will immediately terminate the EUA for Pfizer and Moderna, which is why the FDA did not give it to Novovax.

Technically speaking, both the Novavax and the Moderna should be withdrawn because the Pfizer has full approval for the same disease. Emergency use is for situations where no fully approved treatment is available. But why let pesky rules and regulations get in the way?
