Of course they denied it. Lying is what they do.
Everyone knows the FDA takes YEARS to approve drugs, but we are instructed to believe that a drug on the market in under 9 months wasn't rushed.
FDA issues Emergency Use Authorizations for dozens of drugs every year; many of them cancer drugs.
Pfizer has already filed for full FDA approval. Moderna is filing for full FDA approval in the next few weeks. Both are being granted Priority Review, which means they can expect a response in less than 6 months. That puts their timeline at around 18 - 20 months from the start of the original clinical trials on March 16, 2020.
It was originally the Democrats claiming the vaccines were rushed when it was looking like President Trump was going to be able to announce EUAs for one or more vaccines before the election. They warned that President Trump had coerced the FDA to approve things that weren’t ready. That President Trump was abusing his authority to alter normal processes for political gains. None of it was true. Suddenly after the election, Democrats changed their tune completely. Now Biden is trying to take credit for President Trump’s accomplishments.
Even drugs have the full FDA approvals are pulled from the market due to very similar side effects the covid vaccines are showning now. I can’t even imagine what was found during the short test that was over looked amd what other surprises are coming.
If a blood pressure med was released to the public in the same way, few would take it.
The FDA takes years to approve drugs because they can extort money from the pharmaceutical companies.
The FDA is no more competent than the drug companies themselves. I would trust the word of a pharmaceutical company over a gov’t bureaucrat.
