The problem here is that politics has taken over the FDA, and they are pressuring the drug companies to act too quickly in order to achieve results that are politically desirable for Biden Admin. This is highly dangerous IMO, and highlights the danger of making the FDA and CDC political.
The head of the FDA, Dr Marks had the gall to claim that this halt should make all parents feel safe that the FDA is doing it’s job! The FDA was pressing Pfizer in unprecedented fashion to submit its data prematurely before it felt comfortable doing so on its own, and Pfizer halted treatments because it felt uncomfortable with the data DESPITE THE FDA .
This also happens only a few months after the director of the CDC went against the expert panel that it appointed to decide on booster policy. After members threatened resignation, the Biden admin backed off temporarily, but then went ahead with its plans and then simply reconstituted a more politically friendly oriented panel to rubber stamp the process. There is data to support both sides, and it is the panels job to decide which data is best to follow.
It is very clear why there are doubters out there.
Politicians get the fuck out of medicine….you are going to get people killed. Replace those who presently head these agencies with people who are not affected by politics.
