FDA advisers recommend second coronavirus vaccine, with agency action expected soon

Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine got the greenlight from a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee Thursday, paving the way for authorization of a second shot aimed at slowing a pandemic that has killed nearly 310,000 people in the United States.

The panel voted that the benefits of the highly effective vaccine outweighed its risks for people individuals 18 years of age and older. The FDA plans to authorize the vaccine Friday...

Anticipating the authorization decision, Gen. Gustave F. Perna, who is overseeing the federal effort to distribute vaccines, said Monday the government was preparing to ship almost 6 million doses of the Moderna vaccine to 3,285 locations in the first week after approval.

Two huge companies will each be shipping millions of doses each week.

Like firehoses opening up on a fire.

FDA: from the same people who gave you thalidomide.
This vaccine is SO safe we gave manufacturers immunity against lawsuits resulting death/harm.

Sure.

I have some land in FL for sale, too.

Nice waterfront property. Honest.

All I have to do is look over at my wife who is suffering miserably from mutagenic “drugs” (chemotherapy), and the decision to vax or not is easy.

It’s an individual decision. My wife (barely) survived stage 4 cancer. Chemo almost kills a person. Now I have Ivermectin in case one of us gets ill. We take vitamins and get some exercise and sunshine when we can.

I have met and talked to a thalidomide survivor. Nice guy. A missionary for the Navajo tribe. It’s really tragic.

The EUA for this vaccine is illegal. Ivermectin is known to work, and is safe.

This could have been crushed early. FDA should be castigated for not suggesting Ivermectin for every coronavirus outbreak for the last upteen years, rather than the yearly flu vaccine.

Of course, by 'castigate' I mean trial and imprisonment.

Absolutely right! The release of multiple safe and effective vaccines spells the end for this virus, all the death and misery it has caused, and for all the failed political responses including the lockdowns/shutdowns. No one who’s been vaccinated is going to tolerate having their job shut down or not being able to go enjoy a nice dinner out. The more people who get vaccinated, the fewer people will follow the mandates set out by governors and state officials who couldn’t figure out how to deal with this virus in any sort of effective way.

The only person to deal with this effectively has been President Trump, and it looks like we’re about to lose him. President Trump saw the value of vaccines and saw the possibility of getting them into our hands faster than ever. He saw that the path to this victory required regulatory streamlining, Federal investment, and hard negotiation with the vaccine makers. And the fruits of all that labor are that we now finally have the ultimate weapon to end this fight and get our lives back to normal.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP! Those of us paying attention APPRECIATE you!

“THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP! Those of us paying attention APPRECIATE you!”

I second that. I get so mad when I hear people badmouthing Trump over the China Virus. No one in the world has done as much as he as done. If Biden or Obama had been President not only would we have no vaccine but our economy would be totally destroyed. On top of that we would probably have even more deaths due to slow bureaucrats. Trump lit a fire under their arses.

Yawn. It’s not a disease; It’s just a virus. A virus with a survival rate of of over 99%.

It’s sad to see how many people have fallen for the fear porn.

I can understand high risk people being careful but it’s ridiculous for the media and the government to harass everyone to get the “ magic” shot.

The answer is a big no for me. I will happily donate my portion to someone else.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this vaccine is the prelude to the Mark of the Beast.

President Trump deserves a huge slice of the credit. He will not get it from the MSM, but it's undeniable - his Operation Warpspeed got this vaccine to the public by year's end, as promised, despite all of the doomsaying by Democrats and mainstream news.

Here's hoping I'll be able to get the vaccine soon. A lot of the naysayers who said it could never be done are now busy jumping the line.

Not so! FDA did their job:

I guess you’re unaware that the FDA turned downed the requests for thalidomide to be approved for usage in the United States?

Go ahead...get shot dead by a gun that didn’t make any noise...or disabled. I have seen too many 1st hand episodes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEZH0t5Yozw

R.I.P. twins Puny & Tito severely disabled, Mark Donaldson disabled, Mike disabled, Liam death in womb (the other twin made it).

What happened mom: after a vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, flu shot while pregnant

BIG PHARMA roulette in that needle. No accountability for them. Traceability-pfffft. Variability-scads.

Human guinea pigs for BIG BIZZ. NOT WORTH BEING INJECTED. I would never stop you for your right to decide. Would you do the same for me?
