The F.D.A. is aiming to give full approval to Pfizer’s Covid vaccine on Monday.

The Food and Drug Administration is pushing to approve Pfizer-BioNTech’s two-dose Covid-19 vaccine on Monday, further expediting an earlier timeline for licensing the shot, according to people familiar with the agency’s planning.

Regulators were working to finish the process by Friday but were still working through a substantial amount of paperwork and negotiation with the company. The people familiar with the planning, who were not authorized to speak publicly about it, cautioned that the approval might slide beyond Monday if some components of the review need more time.

An F.D.A. spokeswoman declined to comment.

The agency had recently set an unofficial deadline for approval of around Labor Day.

The approval is expected to pave the way for a series of vaccination requirements by public and private organizations who were awaiting firmer regulatory backing before implementing mandates. Federal and state health officials are also hoping that an approved vaccine will draw interest from some Americans who have been hesitant to take one that was only authorized for emergency use, a phenomenon suggested by recent polling.

Neither am I.

Here in Maine, nurses, EMTs, etc. are attending protests all over the state. Hundreds are threatening to quit.

Two nurses speaking on local radio, said they are not getting the jab, required by our idiot governor Janet Mills.

These nurses also said that it normally takes 3 - 6 YEARS to test a new vaccine.

Pfizer must have given a lot of Benjamins to the head of the F.D.A.

So am I. It’s an experimental drug, not a vaccine.

“Risky Drugs: Why The FDA Cannot Be Trusted”

“...This evidence indicates why we can no longer trust the FDA to carry out its historic mission to protect the public from harmful and ineffective drugs. Strong public demand that government “do something” about periodic drug disasters has played a central role in developing the FDA.2 Yet close, constant contact by companies with FDA staff and officials has contributed to vague, minimal criteria of what “safe” and “effective” mean. The FDA routinely approves scores of new minor variations each year, with minimal evidence about risks of harm. Then very effective mass marketing takes over, and the FDA devotes only a small percent of its budget to protect physicians or patients from receiving biased or untruthful information.34 The further corruption of medical knowledge through company-funded teams that craft the published literature to overstate benefits and understate harms, unmonitored by the FDA, leaves good physicians with corrupted knowledge.5 6 Patients are the innocent victims...”

“Making Vaccines: Licensure, Recommendations and Requirements”

“Licensure

Licensure, the first of three processes, involves gaining approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As a result, it is the longest of these processes. It can take years, even decades, before pharmaceutical companies can actually start providing the vaccine. For example, the varicella vaccine took about 11 years to be licensed by the FDA.

Vaccines are usually made by first showing that they are safe and effective in experimental animals. Once this is established, the vaccine becomes an Investigational New Drug (IND) and the company is given an IND license to further study the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine in adults, and eventually, children. Again, these trials can take years, giving companies ample time to provide the FDA with proof of long-term safety and effectiveness...”

The inventor of the MRNA doesn’t even believe most people should get them.

He's scheduled to be on Bannon's 'War Room' Saturday morning.

Anyone who thinks the next step, which will be within the next two months, won’t be employers requiring “vaccination” as a condition of employment, and the government forcing business to require vaccination of customers to do business, is kidding themselves.

This is exactly why this fast pace is happening. My employer has stated no vaccine required....yet...but that that is subject to change. I suspect they are waiting for the official FDA approval (vs authorization) to make it mandatory. For those of us who believe it, this is looking more and more like the Mark of the Beast.

We had it as bad as if we didn't have the vaccine.

And this is the dirty little secret about their media campaign. We hear time and time again that if you’re vaccinated, you will have less complications of COVID than if you weren’t. But in reality, most COVID-infected individuals were asymptotic or had minor complications before any of these vaccines hit the street — by far.

Meanwhile, CDC employees, WH staffers can still refuse the shot/s.

Note to employers: Good luck getting around that.

And note to businesses relying on eggheads: With the rate of refuseniks so high among PhDs, what are you gonna do?

Fire refuseniks?

And replace them with far cheaper H1B eggheads...?

Ah, I see.

So it’s a win-win, eh?

It’s still difficult.

Skilled pilots don’t grow on trees.
And any minor blood clot or similar, disqualifies you from being a pilot.

Pilots talk among one another; as do flight crews.
