Or, they’ll just say it was a fake approval. That word can do an awful lot of work if you let it.

But there’s nothing there that says it doesn’t magnetize you. WHY WON’T THEY SAY IT DOESN’T MAGNETIZE YOU???!?

They can’t really take the soft emotions, so I predict verklempt followed by renewed Sturm und Drang.

This won’t change the anti-vaxxers (they’ll just move the goal posts again).

However, this will get more employers off the sidelines and mandating vaccination. I suspect many were hesitant requiring a vaccine still under emergency authorization.

Well, that’s one less excuse for anti-vaxxers to use.

And the last one that had even an ounce of merit.

“FDA determined it is reasonable to conclude, based on the totality of the scientific
evidence available, that the known and potential benefits of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‐19
Vaccine outweigh the known and potential risks of the vaccine, for the prevention of COVID-19
in individuals 12 through 15 years of age.”
Why isn’t it approved for 12+?

Many had already declared a vaccine mandate to take effect once the FDA gave full approval. So this does change things, all those mandates will kick in as of today. And as you mentioned, a whole bunch more should follow.

The military, for one. That mandate is likely hitting today now that there’s full FDA approval.

Phfizer has not requested approval for 12 - 15 year-olds yet. It doesn’t have 6 months of data yet from what I understand.

Great! Now all the folks that refuse vaccination because they hate the Government can now safely get vaccinated because the Government now says it’s OK. I doubt this changes much since the “not approved” crap was just an excuse to keep up their attention seeking. .

Hey, maybe we can finally get GOoPers to care about climate change if we get them to think of it as a Socialist plot using extreme weather to tear down border walls.

I don’t understand why this article is titled "FDA Grants Full Approval of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine – the letter throughout refers to an extension of EUA – Emergency Use authorization.
