The FDA wanted to accelerate the process before the normal amount of data and research was collected, and told Pfizer to just submit the data that it had at this point even though Pfizer was following its normal procedure that used to be the norm for the FDA as well.

Their desire to control & foster reliance on the government has been exposed in this whole endeavor and now they’ve realized they got caught with their schwanz in the glory hole. Sadly, some still don’t see what’s going on. But enough do.
Don’t mess with people’s kids.

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.

And the half-baked science and messaging have not instilled anyone but the sheep with confidence.
Flatten the curve
Socially distance
Get jabbed to protect those you love
Wear a mask to protect others
Get your kids jabbed to keep the hospitals clear
Get jabbed to prevent infection
Get jabbed to reduce risks associated with infection
Masks actually don’t work
Get kids boosted
Oh wait, don’t …
The willingness to make marketing statements based on incomplete and false information is irresponsible, and has done more harm than people realize. They’d be better off admitting that this is an experiment and they don’t know how it will turn out & let people make up their own minds.
