Full vaccine approval before EUA for booster, please

There are some strange concerns in this thread. I say this because the FDA is a government bureaucratic exercise of power. There are cases of fully approved drugs that ended up being pulled from the market over safety concerns - vioxx, trovan, and more. The FDA is bitterly divided after the full approval of aducanumab.

The FDA is not a security blanket. We can’t feel safe and secure because they checked a box in a boardroom before going out for wine and cheese.

On the flip side, vaccine development doesn’t need to take 7-10 years of trials before approval.

The vaccines are mostly safe and provide significant protection against a deadly virus. We see tendencies but nobody knows who will go thru asymptomatic, mild or deadly disease if infected. That’s why it’s better to get vaccinated than to take a chance. Having known several who died that don’t fit the over 60, obese profile - one being only 27 yo - is a reality check that I don’t wish on anyone.

Get it or don’t. Remember, getting the vaccine doesn’t make you 100% immune and refusing the vaccine doesn’t make you an idiot if you practice common sense instead. I saw adults wearing masks at the movie theater even though it’s no longer required. Take care of yourself.

Agreed. And the fact that all (most?) of the FDA and Pharma screwups are public knowledge means the system works, though imperfect.

The huge amount of vaccine data to date show it is incredibly safe. Like all marketed vaccines. 99+% of people in hospitals and dying now are unvaccinated. US people are strange.
