White House threatens FDA chief’s job if Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is not granted emergency authorization by end of the day
Chicago Tribune ^ | 12/11/2020

WASHINGTON — White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Friday pressed Food and Drug Administration chief Stephen Hahn to grant an emergency use authorization for Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine by the end of the day or face possible firing, two administration officials said.

The vaccine produced by Pfizer Inc. and its German partner BioNTech won a critical endorsement Thursday from an FDA panel of outside advisers, and signoff from the agency — which is expected within days — is the next step needed to get the shots to the public.

The FDA is TAKING ITS SWEET TIME.

This is not the 1950s with vaccine approvals having to deal with mounds of actual mailed/faxed paperwork and tape computer files. It’s the 21st century and the FDA works with all digital data that is easily studied and examined. The FDA staffers can produce any type of report(s) they want within minutes.

Get it up to WARP SPEED, FDA. As for Stephen Hahn... he’s a coward and a tool. He’s unworthy of his position.

I’m all-in for Trump, but man, I am NOT on board with this insane vaccine rush.

Every single bad reaction, long-term health complication, and death caused by this vaccine is going to blamed completely on Trump. And there will be no defense.

So what about the Bell palsy that some have experienced?

We're not taking that shit until the efficacy and side affects are proven. Let the front line medical types take it first is our plan. We'll watch.

BTW, the wife and I have been getting flu shots for years and never get influenza nor any reaction. Me, being susceptible to every damn cold hasn't had one in years, either. Come to find out that the common cold is also a coronavirus. The flu is also. I have to wonder if flu shots help for colds, also. Yes, I know some are called rhino-virus.

Rush? It could have been out 2 months ago, the same with the Moderna vaccine.

Actually the flu viruses are NOT coronaviruses. Some common cold viruses aee, but flu is not.

Interestingly, there is some research that shows that many people, likely half or more, have existing natural T-cell immunity to the covid19 virus derived from exposure to the similar coronavirus-type common cold bugs.

They’d rather wait on Biden.
They probably could have approved both companies before the election as Trump had wished for.
Not that I would get it either way.

Yes, RUSH. You want to take an mRNA vaccine that screws with your immune system for which there is, by definition, absolutely NO data on long-term consequences?

This isn't just any new vaccine. Nobody has EVER made a successful vaccine for a coronavirus. This is completely uncharted waters.

Don't threaten, Mister President, just do it.
And while you are about it, get rid of Wray as well.
Why does President Trump find it so hard to dismiss traitors?
The British have already approved the same vaccines already, no?
This is clearly a political play by the deep state.

I think the FDA is holding back Pfizer because they want the Gates/Fauci/Moderna vaccine where they have a financial stake.

said, "I’m all-in for Trump, but man, I am NOT on board with this insane vaccine rush."

Agreed. Trump is likely being told this was a Bio-weapon attack. If that is true or not is unknown.
The largest study I've ever seen was on the aspect of the real target of this attack was to ABO blood types. Human chromosome 3 are more common among COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure than in the general population. Or European whites and Japanese people.

If this is true I would watch carefully the birth rates of these two groups. So far I haven't seen any reports on this. This is a report on ABO blood types and Covid-1984

“I’m all-in for Trump, but man, I am NOT on board with this insane vaccine rush.”

This kind of top down desperate push driven by politics is why I will not be first in line to get this vaccine. Let others be the guinea pigs.

Exactly. I trust this "vaccine" as much as the news media, Biden, and Adam Schiff.
