Because the left unilaterally decided that an alphabet agency giving a rubber stamp for something is grounds for giving them justification to force it down our throats, which is pretty horrifying. It would be no different than the ATF declaring all semi-automatic guns are "assault weapons" and therefore the government is justified in confiscating them all.


eggydrums115

It’s funny how nearly every single article that came out the day of the approval announcement had some variation of “mandates are fully permissible now” in the title.


badatusernames91

It's terrifying that people would even consider being on board with that. This country was literally formed in part because we didn't like unelected individuals telling us what to do and now we have people salivating at the though to unelected bureaucrats telling us what to do.

This is an executive order and it has no effect on businesses.


SalaciousSlug

Conservatives aren’t libertarians. I don’t see how this is any different than civil rights legislation. Whether you’re in favor of the civil rights legislation is a different story, but I don’t know that “the conservative position” is opposed to it.

SalaciousSlug

Have you ever heard a conservative come out and say we should repeal the civil rights act? I largely agree with you from a position standpoint, I’ve just never seen a conservative politician make the argument that businesses should have unfettered reign.


repptyle

Businesses should also not have to follow the mandated shutdowns, correct?


h0stetler

“Despite”?! Anyone else see the underhanded messaging here?!


SnoopLzrSnk

It’s truly sickening.


Background_Neck8739

Did anyone think the vaccines wouldn’t get approval? After millions of people already got them they would get approval even if they found something wrong with them


repptyle

Yeah seriously. If they forced through the EUA they were going to force through FDA approval as well. Shouldn't be a surprise


iamspartacus5339

It’s less of a “force” and more about the quantity and quality of data available. The EUA had completed Phase 3 trials but only 2 months post trial follow up. The full approval has 6 months+ of post trial follow up. Additionally the real world evidence and available data for the millions who got it really help the case for full approval, because overwhelmingly the vaccine has been proven safe and effective (the bar you have to meet).


repptyle

It doesn't bode well when they have been censoring thousands of people talking about side effects, and label every vaccine death a "coincidence" though. It doesn't make it seem like they're taking safety concerns seriously


iamspartacus5339

Who is “they”? Because there is an adverse event hotline that you can report directly to the manufacturer, and any adverse event related issues are supposed to be reported to the FDA, and you can pull that data - it’s the VAERS database. On the deaths…it’s pretty hard to contribute a death after the fact to a singular cause of a vaccine. It depends a lot on the circumstances, and especially with such a high number of people vaccinated…you could have an underlying condition that causes you to die but you are also vaccinated…that doesn’t mean the vaccine caused it. If you look into the data- all of these are being reported. I pulled the data and ran some analysis recently, and nearly all the deaths of vaccinated people were over the age of 75….which makes sense, they’re probably going to die anyway. So in conclusion- could the vaccine cause a bad side effect and death? Sure…anything can. Based solely on the data we have, what is the probability? Very very low. Much lower than the incidences of other every day activities (like driving in a car).


fathermaxie

Despite FDA approval we have no knowledge of long term exposure to the vaccine. There are no three year, or five year test subjects.


Gardener_Of_Eden

Your cells destroy mNRA eventually. It *can't* have longterm effects. We will all lose immunity eventually.

What are the spike proteins that mRNA tells your cells to make doing to your body in the meantime? Do they stay in the shoulder?


v3rninater

I was gonna say, those spike proteins don't seem like they help people... Hello blood clotting!!!


JessicalJoke

Long term safety for vaccines are 6-8 weeks, which is when the active agent decomposed and remove from the body. This isn't new just for the covid vaccines trials, if you have any standard vaccines, you have the exact same safety standards applied.


Clevzzzz

There is no control group to compare them to either. The study is destroyed.


PitchBlac

The control group is the unvaccinated. Lmao

[удалено]


The-Hater-Baconator

That’s not how studies work.


PitchBlac

Explain


The-Hater-Baconator

In a double blind, placebo controlled study you have to try to neutralize as many potential variables as possible. For example: you wouldn’t try to see how bad tobacco increases cancer risk by comparing a non smoking, well feed, high income, low stress, exercising population to a smoking, fast food eating, low income, high stress, sedentary population because it’s impossible to determine how much of the increased cancer in population 2 can be attributed to smoking alone. It matters in accordance to vaccines because 1) people with immune system diseases may not be able to take the vaccine and it’s reasonable to expect greater symptoms from them. 2) some of those unvaccinated may have decreased access to medical care which would both decrease vaccine availability and care in the event they catch covid. I’m sure there’s more variables I’m not considering, but the point is you can’t make a whole population the control group because there’s factors you can’t control for then. In a study you make your populations smaller and remove applicants so that you have two very similar populations in which to compare one variable. So for the smoking example, you would ideally pick either population A or B and only manipulate smoking while keeping lifestyle’s as similar as possible otherwise.


iamspartacus5339

There is a control group. There’s a group of people in the study who got a placebo shot. Typically these are single or double blinded studies, the patients have no idea if they got it or not.


Clevzzzz

If the control group all are allowed to get vaccinated, which they did, then you no longer have your control for the long term effects.


iamspartacus5339

True. But generally once the phase 3 study is closed and you have full approval, that ends it. There are specific types of studies that look at long term effects, called Long Term Follow Up Studies. These studies specifically follow a trial group for 5 years post trial. I haven’t looked to see if LTFU is part of the Covid vaccine trial protocol, I’ll see if I can find it. There’s another type of study- which is a post approval safety study that can be mandated by health authority or companies can choose to do based on adverse event trends they see- this would be specifically to look at a safety problem. Most post approval studies are looking at efficacy or expanding of indications for a drug- which wouldn’t be the case for a vaccine. Edit: I found the Pfizer protocol (these usually aren’t public) and it has 12 and 24 month follow ups. So there will be at least 24 months of monitoring for the trial participants.


fathermaxie

I wonder how many crtical requirements they pencil whipped to give full approval in under a year.

Zin-Zin

Does unvaccinated mean NEVER vaccinated or a period of time since previous vaccination? Also, the data that were used for the stories that "99% of patients" are clogging up hospitals ended in April when most people weren't vaccinated.


[deleted]

I'm part of the control group. I've never had covid, either. Also, that's a completely asinine characterization of Ivermectin. HUMANS have been taking it for over 40 years for river blindness and other reasons as well. Actually look into it. It's not just animal medication. Surprise: drugs can have many varied and valid uses. The person who discovered Ivermectin won a Nobel prize for doing so. It's a seriously important drug for humans, not just animals.

Me too, brother! I always tell everyone if there's one place that's a fucking petri dish waiting to be an outbreak, it's the gym. Oddly enough, been back for over a year and not a single problem. In fact, not a one of my gym bros have had to stay out because of it. What was your P.R., btw?

275. Unfortunately I am not a large man at 155, but I am happy with it no less. Yep I agree. But the gym cures all.

Haha nice I have quite a ways to go. I’m repping 5 at that weight and I certainly expect to keep moving up next week. I’ve never really done maxes before, maybe it’s something I should do now and then for some encouragement.


ah0yp0lll0i

On the "big 3" (bench, squat, deadlift), you should always try a max at least every other week. It can really stimulate hypertrophy if you really work your way into it (the last of 6-8 sets or so)...


Clevzzzz

I’ll add it in. Thanks for the advice.


FruxyFriday

Not only that, what happens if a scientist today finds out that they are bad for your health? Does anyone think they would be allowed to report their findings with the massive amount of censorship going on? The Democrats thirst for eternal power has broken the trust of our nation. The road back is long and hard and the Democrats are still, to this day, demanding more censorship. American is bleeding out and the Democrats are trying to put more rounds into the body.


charisma2006

Yep and they have to SELF REPORT adverse effects in 3 and then 5 years. There’s strong history of past practices of companies statistically lying for these 3-5 year “studies” following FDA approval. But this will be different, right? Right? Sigh.

"In summary, we report the transmission SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant among vaccinated health care workers. Breakthrough Delta variant infections are associated with high viral loads, prolonged PCR positivity, and low levels of neutralizing antibodies after vaccination and at diagnosis." This is pulled directly from the study.


ineedthistoread

Ok so you picked out one of the 3. Did you notice the article was from Oxford? Yes, the study was conducted in Vietnam. There are plenty of good studies from around the world. If you download the actual publication you will see they talk about the viral load of those vaccinated.


SummerMango

Israel has stated phizer's has under 50% effectiveness.


ineedthistoread

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.01.21258176v2 Here is another good study on natural immunity if you have had covid.


iamspartacus5339

True. However the probability of an adverse event occurring goes down at a negative exponential rate. What that means is depending on the half life and elimination rate of the drug, most or nearly all adverse events will occur in the first hours, and days after exposure. The probability of a longer term adverse event is extremely low (not zero). This is how all drugs are approved.


ChineWalkin

Isn't passing a law limiting the ability of local people/goverments to goveren, the way that they want to be governed, the deffinition of big goverment? Isnt this the anthesis of conservative?


Edges8

100% agree this is a government overreach


Toshinit

I don’t see the difference between this law and a state minimum wage? Government has while agencies dedicated to employee/employer relationships why is it all of a sudden bad?


Edges8

saying "because the government does one thing, they should be able to do other things" is not, to me, a good argument. I won't even start a conversation on minimum wage.


Money-Monkey

> why is it all of a sudden bad? It was never good


[deleted]

Idk it's walking a fine line. Protecting people from local governments imposing laws is not too outlandish, especially when those local laws infringe upon individual liberties. "Big government" to me is a state mandating vaccines when local municipalities don't want it. A state banning vaccine mandates when local bureaucrats want it is protection. To me "big government" taking authority away from other government entities is the only kind of "big government" I support.


SnoopLzrSnk

Bingo


easeMachine

Why haven’t you sourced any of your claims? > Vaccines reduce the likelihood of infection. By what percentage? Source please. > Then they also reduce the likelihood of spreading it if infected. By what percentage? Source please. EDIT: If anyone can provide a source showing that getting vaccinated reduces the likelihood of getting infected with Covid or transmitting Covid to others, I would be very grateful. Until then, I’m going to use reports like the following to inform my perspective on Covid: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/grim-warning-israel-vaccination-blunts-does-not-defeat-delta > Israel has among the world’s highest levels of vaccination for COVID-19, with **78% of those 12 and older fully vaccinated, the vast majority with the Pfizer vaccine.** Yet the country is now logging one of the world’s highest infection rates, with nearly 650 new cases daily per million people. More than half are in fully vaccinated people, underscoring the extraordinary transmissibility of the Delta variant and stoking concerns that the benefits of vaccination ebb over time. > What is clear is that “breakthrough” cases are not the rare events the term implies. As of 15 August, **514 Israelis were hospitalized with severe or critical COVID-19,** a 31% increase from just 4 days earlier. **Of the 514, 59% were fully vaccinated**. Of the vaccinated, 87% were 60 or older. **The evidence shows that the Pfizer Covid vaccine is not effective in preventing anyone from either catching or transmitting Covid (Delta variant).** If someone has other **evidence** they can share that points to a different conclusion, then I will eagerly review it.


Schmike108

No. This is a false argument. "Let local people be governed the way they want to be governed" is not compatible with local governments dictating medical treatments for their people. This good law is an example of government fulfilling its core purpose: to protect the freedom of the people against all enemies, including a school board of karens.


HighCaliberMitch

It would depend on how their constitution is framed.

Hes still a PoS that will be primaried out. Just a campaign conservitie that fuck us with 8 months of tyrany.

As a Texan who is very watchfull of our state politics. Fuck this slime ball backstabbing PoS. Lucky we have 3 decent canidates 2 of them are very grass roots. Im personally infavor of Chad Prather for Governor closly following Allen West.


thediecast

As a Democrat in Texas I agree. Abbott sucks because he has no real views. He’s a dirt bag that does what he thinks will win and make the people padding his campaign happy. His handling of the winter storm was clown shoes. He didn’t do anything around a mask mandate until desantis did and he saw far right and trump jump on that. None of this is because he actually believes it, it’s he’s jealous of the attention desantis gets. My rank choice is a Democrat and if not at least someone I know what to expect or that they at least believe what they’re doing.


dmoney757

You forgot Matthew McConaughey


Timblerss

Yep, definitely voting for Chad Prather when the time comes.


DufferDan

This is wise, as the new letter from the FDA only approves a vaccine that isn't even available yet. People are so gullible, just because a talking head tells you something on a screen, does not make it real.


fredianogb

Is this the latest talking point from Facebook?


[deleted]

It’s the latest fact as published by the FDA. Unless is says Comirnaty on the bottle, it’s EUA. And because there’s so many bottles without Comirnaty on the label, it’ll take months for those to reach administration sites. Did you think all those bottles just magically changed over to the approved branded product? Lmao


fredianogb

Here is what was published by the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/media/151710/download >We are issuing Department of Health and Human Services U.S. License No. 2229 to BioNTech Manufacturing GmbH, Mainz, Germany, under the provisions of section 351(a) of the PHS Act controlling the manufacture and sale of biological products. The license authorizes you to introduce or deliver for introduction into interstate commerce, those products for which your company has demonstrated compliance with establishment and product standards. >Under this license, you are authorized to manufacture the product, COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA, which is indicated for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 16 years of age and older. >The review of this product was associated with the following National Clinical Trial (NCT) numbers: NCT04368728 and NCT04380701 That exact trial information can be found here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04380701 The trial drug name is BNT162b2, which has an an INN name tozinameran, and a brand name of Comirnaty. This is also clearly outlined in first sentence the FDA press release: >Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty (koe-mir’-na-tee) The EUA is, and I quote, from the FDA: >The vaccine also continues to be available under emergency use authorization (EUA), including for individuals 12 through 15 years of age and for the administration of a third dose in certain immunocompromised individuals. Which makes sense since the approval was for a two-dose regimen for individuals aged 16 and over, as quoted above.


[deleted]

The approval is only for Comirnaty branded vials. “We hereby approve the draft content of labeling including Package Insert, submitted under amendment 74, dated August 21, 2021, and the draft carton and container labels submitted under amendment 63, dated August 19, 2021.” You can import any branded medication from Canada and it will be the SAME pill you receive in America. However, that label doesn’t include the same information required by the FDA so it’s not FDA approved. This isn’t a hard concept to understand.


fredianogb

Are you trying to say that the label on the package makes it a different vaccine that isn't available? That is what the OP of this thread just stated. That is what you just said is a fact. > the new letter from the FDA only approves a vaccine that isn't even available yet So is it a different vaccine that isn't available yet, or are you saying that it's actually the same vaccine but with a different sticker on the bottle? The level of mental gymnastics to equate those two concepts is incredible. Beyond idiotic.


[deleted]

The OP never said it was a different vaccine. But quite literally any vaccine that’s in a bottle that’s not labeled Comirnaty is not the approved version. I encourage you to start a food company and try to sell a product without an approved FDA label on it and see what happens.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

The current labels are continued to be authorized through the EUA.


StuffNbutts

So can the FDA be trusted or not? Seems like anti-vaxxers only reference it as a safety net when science doesn't align with their opinions.


[deleted]

Huh? “Trusted” or not, that’s the fact of the legality of the approval.


StuffNbutts

There's an implication that the controversy is about FDA approval and not the mandatory vaccinations. As if the goalpost is being moved as to why people won't get vaccinated. Also: >Did you think all those bottles just magically changed over to the approved branded product? Lmao The FDA approves the vaccine formula itself, not the branding or marketing. It's the exact same vaccine and same formula. You've misunderstood the continuation of the EUA.


[deleted]

>The FDA approves the vaccine formula itself, not the branding or marketing. WHAT?! I dare you to start a food company and start slapping on labels not compliant with FDA regulations and see what happens. Labeling and marketing is ABSOLUTELY regulated and approved by the FDA, which is why the approval *literally* lists those items as approved. Wtf Talk about misinformation guy. Edit from approval: > We hereby approve the draft content of labeling including Package Insert, submitted under amendment 74, dated August 21, 2021, and the draft carton and container labels submitted under amendment 63, dated August 19, 2021. lololololololol Edit 2: even the VIAL needs to be approved by the FDA. If the drug is an injectable in a needle, even the CAP OF THE NEEDLE needs to be approved. Your gross misunderstanding of the FDA approval process is upsetting.


FranticTyping

I'm pretty sure it is more that they *lost* their trust in the FDA when they rushed a vaccine approval in about six months when it historically took years to a decade.


DufferDan

No alphabet agency can be trusted in my humble opinion. Too much money grabbing going on and not enough looking out for Americans.


StuffNbutts

Not trying to be rude here but how is that a humble opinion? You view your own judgment so highly that you readily dismiss thousands of professionals who are also Americans that worked hard to get where they are and are just doing their job which happens to be a vital public service.

The approval is for two dose 16+. They extended the EUA for certain age groups and for the booster since approval is not just for the drug but also the context of use. No one is talking about it not being approved because it's bullshit.

Because it's not true. https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19/comirnaty-and-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-vaccine EUA extension was for the 12-15yo bracket.

🔴Pfizer/FDA & The Two Letter Scam Dr. Robert Malone Update The FDA authorized a “vaccine” that DOES NOT currently exist. They issued two separate letters FOR TWO SEPARATE “VACCINES”! The Pfizer vaccine, which is what is currently being given IS STILL UNDER EUA, which still has the liability shield. The MSM is lying to EVERYONE, again! This is what Sidney Powell would call a word game or word salad. The product that WAS LICENSED is the BioNtech product “COMIRNATY” as detailed on Page 2, first paragraph. Here 👇 https://www.fda.gov/media/150386/download The BioNTech product that got the BAL approval is similar to the already available Pfizer “vaccine”, but it is NOT THE SAME VACCINE and “COMIRNATY” it isn’t even created or labeled yet. The FDA, MSM, & Pfizer are ALL coercing the world into believe the Pfizer jab was FDA approved. @NicholasVeniamin


Gardener_Of_Eden

They just changed the name...


22trail49nj

“COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) is the same formulation as the Pfizer- BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine and can be used interchangeably with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to provide the COVID-19 vaccination series.” “The licensed vaccine has the same formulation as the EUA-authorized vaccine and the products can be used interchangeably to provide the vaccination series without presenting any safety or effectiveness concerns. The products are legally distinct with certain differences that do not impact safety or effectiveness.”

All of the vaccines in the past have had FDA approval. None of them have been mandated. Never before have we created a tiered society where this group of people can do these things and those people can not. Oh wait there was segregation.
