Moderna announces full US approval for its COVID-19 vaccine

WASHINGTON (AP) — Moderna announced Monday that U.S. health regulators granted full approval to its COVID-19 vaccine, a shot that’s been given to tens of millions of Americans since its emergency authorization over a year ago.

The action by the Food and Drug Administration means the agency has completed the same rigorous, time-consuming review of Moderna’s shot as dozens of other long-established vaccines.

The decision was bolstered by real-world evidence from the more than 200 million doses administered in the U.S. since the FDA cleared the shot in December 2020. The FDA granted full approval of Pfizer’s vaccine last August.

Public health advocates initially hoped the regulatory distinction would boost public confidence in the shots. But there was no discernable bump in vaccinations after the Pfizer approval, which was heavily promoted by President Joe Biden and other federal officials.

Are you fully vaccinated? CDC working to ‘pivot’ language More than 211 million Americans, or 63% of the total population, are fully vaccinated. About 86 million people have gotten a booster dose. Vaccinations peaked last spring at more than 3 million per day, and now average less than 750,000 per day. The pace of vaccinations briefly spiked following news of the omicron variant in December but has since slowed again.

The FDA, like regulators in Europe and elsewhere, initially allowed emergency use of Moderna’s vaccine based on a study that tracked 44,000 people 18 and older for at least two months — the time period when serious side effects typically arise. That’s shorter than the six months of safety data normally required for full approval, so Moderna continued that study. The FDA also kept watch for serious side effects that have proved to be very rare.

Yes, seriously. Now will the anti-vaxxers shut up about the EUA?

Fortune is said to favor the bold.

Does it also favor those who are criminal on a near-galactic scale?

“very rare”

A rather subjective statement that we have learned they use when they bury information of ignore it

And if we are 63% “fully vaccinated”, that plus those who have natural immunity should equal herd immunity and the virus should be history. But...it’s not. So uh, what gives?

And if Moderna is now “approved”, that mean they bought the liability yet?

Will it be like Pfizer’s approved Comirnaty vaccine that after five months it still isn’t available in the USA and they are still using the legally distinct EUA vaccine which provides immunity to the manufacturer?

Only is you can explain why the mRNA therapy has caused more injuries than all of the other vaccines combined.

__________

The “fully vaccinated” may have had their immune systems permanently degraded by what was injected into their arms and may have flowed throughout their bodies, creating havoc.

Depends.

Once a an FDA regulated item is fully approved it is required by law that all similar EUA items be withdrawn.

I want to see all the Pfizer vaccines that are not stamped Cominarty and all the J&J vaccines pulled immediately, in accordance with the law.

I think we know that won’t happen. I’m also still not going to receive a Covid shot of any sort. I don’t believe they are safe, they are obviously not effective, and refusing to comply with bullies is morally superior to physical self interest.

What a douche.

But it’s not a Vaccine, now is it?
It doesn’t prevent you from getting WuHu, doesn’t prevent you from spreading WuHu, and it has some serious documented side effects for some groups.

So is it approved as a “Vaccine”, before or after the FDA changes in language?
Or approved as a prophylaxis, which wouold mean it would be optional?

So if it is a choice to be made by free people, I’m ok with that.
But if you believe the State should knock on folks door and forcibly jab em, you and I might disagree.

Or maybe you just think it’s OK to fire the “un-vaxxed”, or block them from shopping, or traveling without correct papers.
Maybe force them all, by law, to put little yellow stars on their sleeves so that all of “the good people” can see the dirty vermin for what they are?

So does that mean Moderna can now be sued for any damages or injuries caused by their shot?
