100 Million Vaccine-Hesitant Americans Will Get The Shot Now That A Government Agency Said It’s OK
Babylon Bee ^ | 08/23/2021 | Babylon Bee

U.S.—100 million Americans who were previously hesitant to get vaccinated are rejoicing today after the FDA approved it, proving that everything is totally safe.

According to sources, the Food and Drug Administration is completely trustworthy and has never approved harmful drugs for the public before. Those sources further confirmed that the FDA is a part of the government, which has never lied or been incompetent or corrupt in any way.

"Yeah, I've always trusted the government and drug companies, so I guess I'm ok to get the vaccine now," said Bubba Snugglebrugg, who was previously a militant anti-vaxxer. "I can't wait to get my 'Fauci Ouchie' and wear my Pfizer sticker! Thanks, FDA!"

Sources within the FDA say the vaccine went through a rigorous approval process of various government bureaucrats saying "Oh well, what the heck—we may as well approve this now", and signing a very important-looking document with a government seal and some big words on it.

"That's good enough for me!" said Snugglebrugg.

Speaking of which. I smell corruption on why they chose Pfizer as the vaccine to approve first.

I guarantee you that congress critters and FDA family members bought Pfizer stock.

Pfizer is currently down to 40% efficacy. Which means it doesn’t even qualify as a vaccine.

Moderna is around 70% and J&J is around 80%. But they went with Pfizer! Why? Follow the money!

I don’t trust any of the shots, but forget that for a minute, why do the least effective shot? It protects no one as it shouldn’t even qualify as a vaccine any longer.

FDA DID NOT give full approval today. They extended the EUA, and that is all. It is NOT an FDA approved gene therapy yet.

Is this a known fact, or just some obscure group making this claim? Sorry, I trust little from both the pro-Vax and anti-Vax groups.

Pfizer has been around longer and probably has deeper tentacles into fedgov. Moderna had never brought a product to market until covid. Probably as simple as Pfizer having more connections in K street. I wouldn’t doubt that congress people knew last week who was going to be approved and knew last year before anyone else, which companies were going to get EUA. There’s a reason they’re all multi-millionaires on a $200k salary.

Thalidominde. (sp?)

Never forget that. Talk about side effects.

And, don’t give me any crappola about : “we learned from that”. No, this is the first widespread use of mRNA tech. Limited clinical trials. All YOU have learned is how to bamboozle and skim for $$ and politics.

I made the same mistake. The letter for EUA extension was dated today as was the letter of clearance:

https://www.fda.gov/media/151710/download

Here is the letter for extending EUA:

https://www.fda.gov/media/150386/download

Go figure.

I saw 42% from a regular news source. Should be on FR somewhere.
