‘No need to rush’: Senator warns of FDA’s shortcuts to full approval of COVID-19 vaccine
NY Post ^ | August 22, 2021 | S.A. Miller

Sen. Ron Johnson called out the Biden administration’s health agencies Sunday for shortcutting the usual safety reviews in a rush to give final approval to COVID-19 vaccines, including failing to account for thousands of deaths and adverse reactions among people worldwide who got the shots.

In a letter to the administration’s top health officials, the Wisconsin Republican warned against the Food and Drug Administration’s pending approval of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine, which is expected Monday.

He said the fast-track decision appeared more political than scientific since it skipped the usual formal advisory committee meeting and did not fully account for the reports of deaths and disabilities suffered by people after being vaccinated.

“I see no need to rush the FDA approval process for any of the three COVID-19 vaccines. Expediting the process appears to only serve the political purpose of imposing and enforcing vaccine mandates,”

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who is on the Pfizer board of directors, also said the full approval will prompt more vaccine mandates.

Mr. Johnson noted that the 12,791 deaths eclipse the 8,966 deaths related to all other vaccines reported on VAERS since its creation 31 years ago.

“I am receiving a growing number of letters from doctors and nurses detailing the vaccine injuries they are witnessing and treating, together with the suppression and censoring of this information they are experiencing,” the senator said in the letter.

He concluded: “Unfortunately, your federal health agencies have not been transparent with the American people about how these life-altering decisions have been made or what science and data they are based upon. I urge you to … reconsider your decision not to assemble a VRBPAC public meeting prior to the granting of any final COVID-19 vaccine approval.”

He says this the day before likely approval? Where has he and the rest of the GOP been for the last 8 months? Are they surprised by this?

This entire COVID situation has been shady, from start to today. The politicking, the fudging of the COVID numbers, the outright lying about who died of COVID and who didn’t, the banning of doctors who questioned the numbers from social media. Why the hell would anyone believe anyone associated with the US govt? I use to think the CDC was on the up and up. No longer. Here’s my opinion. COVID is not dangerous enough to warrant me sticking myself or my daughter with this Mrna BS that couldn’t get past animal trials before COVID came along. Not gonna do it. I own my own business and I don’t have to go out anywhere if I didn’t have to. So the govt can ban me from everywhere. Doesn’t matter to me.

This is the point that will leave a mark. To the extent that we discuss this issue with pro-vaxx-mandaters in real life, this is the point we need to bring up.

Senator Johnson HAS been fighting this whole Vaccine thing for months. The press has been relentless on smearing him, taking his appearances down off of “unsocial media” and labeling them “misinformation”. This whole thing is disgusting.

He had a speech where he brought actual people / cases of horrible side effects and the media jumped all over him here in Wisconsin and nationwide.

Johnson is a GOOD MAN, one of the few willing to speak out. The GOP is full of wimps, laying down with the dogs, IMHO.

So what does FDA approval actually mean? Does it mean my loved ones can sue the FDA if the vax should kill me?
I still wouldn’t plan on taking it though.

Ok, I appreciate the correction. I also realize he’s powerless to do much more than theater, in the Schmuckie Schumer Show.
