Traditional vaccines will get no advertisement, and absolutely no funding, let alone no purchases without data! That's reserved for mRNA vaccines only! In fact, we're going to require all sorts of test, including data on enlarged hearts and all sorts of other 'proof,' just to get traditional, non-mRNA vaccines approved!
I.e., I wish I was joking! That's not only what really happened, but it's why we were 6-12 months later than almost everyone, even the Canadians, from approving them, even though FDA expert panels overwhelmingly recommended them well before. The CDC literally balked at the data, but then they finally 'stuck their middle finger up' because it was two-faced ... when the FDA experts felt they were safer than mRNA, especially when Pfizer and Moderna are still not required to provide on-going data, despite the original requirements under the EUA.
It was only when Canadian media started making fun of the US for not approving them, and the 'vaccine tourism' as American parents started bringing their kids to Canada, that it was approved less than a year ago. It was political embarrassment, not objectivity.
Nope! Denied! And the US government will only purchase from Pfizer and Moderna, even without any data showing any effectiveness.
Nope! Denied!
Do you think the administration, CDC, Congress and even the FDA leadership (do have great respect for the few experts still left 'keeping their mouths shut') would allow that?! Look what happened to all the core, long-standing experts the FDA used to have when they overwhelmingly rejected the re-vax (original booster) for the general population -- or in the case of kids -- unanimiously rejected vaccines for kids!
There are revenue targets to meet. That's how this works. Aduhelm was approved for the same reason. That right there is why Pfizer is getting out of mRNA, because Moderna's revenue is already getting gutted. They made major bets on mRNA for their revenue stream, and it's just not happening. The data on mRNA for SARS-CoV-2 is sh--, just like it was for the Influenza Virus before.
Everything has been repurposed from Influenza as new, even the two new drugs. I only wish this was conspiracy theory. I have not read one major expert of any major medical school that isn't pissed how Pharma, not the FDA's own experts, defined what we did. The CDC literally holding up data and asking for more, when the FDA expert panels were all for the traditional vaccine, was literally established mRNA Pharma playing games.
It was a joke, and everyone knew it. The Canadians were sure as hell making fun of the US for it!
