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.

I think you are correct and said this many months ago here.
There will never be mandated vaccines. Just nowhere you can go without them.
We are vaccinated and taking out of state guests on a day cruise in a few weeks.
Either you are vaccinated or you wear a mask on the cruise.
Not so bad because at least unvaccinated people, and one of our guests is that, are welcome.
But it will be major popcorn time to watch this unfold.
Though I am not clear on how the govt can require businesses to require their employees to be vaxxed. Outside of healthcare..
They will definitely eventually change their minds, but too late.
An Emergency Use Authorization is applied
only when there is no other treatment
available. I think with the vaccines
being approved, it will free up docs
to try other drugs to treat COVID.
Many employers have already done that (required vaccination for employment).
Still not getting it.
Are you kidding? There is no way they are giving up that immunity from lawsuits. Too many thousands have already died. And thousands more to follow.
They have done just that in NYC. Started with the health workers, now it is all government employees—PLUS they have now required all restaurants and gyms to require vaccination for indoor dining and gym work.
We have a recalcitrant bunch here, like in other places, and here you are talking 3 million unvaxxed, anyone of whom you can be sitting next to on the subway.
Right on all points...
That’s the two I had. So far, so good.
You know that NYC will have black market restaurants, bars, clubs, gyms with organized crime types running the places to give the unvaxxed folks (mostly black and hispanic) what they want....
The black market is what the market becomes when .gov resorts to fascism.
>> They will definitely eventually change their minds, but too late.
You two are pathetic.
It makes perfect sense if you consider that deep state wants you dead.
Just two weeks ago the FDA issued a warning about myocarditis side effects with the injection. So now they’re OK with full approval? Anything to occupy the news cycle from reporting on Afghanistan.
How do you know this?
They can pfuckoff.
This will be better than sex for some vaxxers on here
After all the videos of people passing out, paralyzed faces, blood clots? No way an I touching that poison
Hospitals are large shortage of nurses because they refuse the vaxx. Business will hurt too when millions refuse the shot. Go ahead, fire us all and see how long they stay in business
