They want to see more data. The FDA has had the same attitude on EUA for 5-11 too, as well as ful approval for 12-15 (Pfizer, or 12-17 for Moderna/J&J).
No, the US FDA just likes Pfizer/BioNTech's studies which have been the most extensive.FDA is backing Pfizer. Keep the booster profit to one company. *
They voted not to approve the Pfizer booster and then were overruled by the bureaucrats. To me, this looks like they don't want anything to do with the process anymore since whatever they say is meaningless.No, the US FDA just likes Pfizer/BioNTech's studies which have been the most extensive. They cannot argue with the data Pfizer/BioNTech has given them, because it has been the most extensive ...
Except for kids, of course. 100% efficacy rates in Placebo groups are why they aren't moving on kids.
The actual problem is that the administration is mandating a vaccine, and the Pfizer/BioNTech is the only FDA approved for 16+. That's not really the FDA's fault, but the politicking.
That's why I don't blame the US FDA for this current situation ...
Especially amid not only all the resigncations, but the articles at The Lancet and others from them who are pointing out the administration is ignoring the data, especialy lackthereof, that show any benefit in a Booster ...
Or any significant advantage in the Pfizer/BioNTech over any others.
There are pros/cons to all the mRNA vectors, Moderna and even the J&J in duration too, beyond just initial efficacy. It's a crapshoot right now.
The FDA has repeatedly 'barked back' about it being a 'crapshoot' too.
I think that you're also seeing less pressure from the public on government as people are starting to accept the new reality.Moderna’s dose size was larger than Pfizer’s and the 4 week recommended time frame is probably why it is more of a debate
ironically the countries that had people wait 2 months in between Pfizer doses bc of supply limitations may have less need for boosters
I haven't seen that the US FDA approved any Pfizer 3rd shot except for the Elderly and Immunocompromised. That said ...They voted not to approve the Pfizer booster and then were overruled by the bureaucrats. To me, this looks like they don't want anything to do with the process anymore since whatever they say is meaningless.
Which is why we are seeing a pause outside the US too. The reactivity has been worse, statistically, according to those countries that have paused it.Moderna’s dose size was larger than Pfizer’s and the 4 week recommended time frame is probably why it is more of a debate
The data is still a crapshoot at this point, but there is some correlation.ironically the countries that had people wait 2 months in between Pfizer doses bc of supply limitations may have less need for boosters
I haven't seen that the US FDA approved any Pfizer 3rd shot except for the Elderly and Immunocompromised. That said ...
Because the US FDA approved the Pfizer 2nd shot, and the 3rd shot is the exact same, this is where things get murky.
Mandating something -- i.e., schedule -- the US FDA has not approved and utterly and publicly recommends against, but the shot itself -- not the schedule -- is approved.
That's the US CDC, not the US FDA.The leader of CDC just made a rare call to allow Covid booster shots for more people
Dr. Rochelle Walensky overruled a CDC advisory panel and cleared the distribution of Pfizer and BioNTech's Covid booster shots to a wide swath of Americans.www.cnbc.com
That's the US CDC, not the US FDA.
But yes, the CDC usually sets vaccine schedules for all or groups of people, while the FDA approves individual vaccines. In this case, the FDA has not approved a 3rd shot, but since the 2nd shot exactly matches the 3rd shot, and the 2nd shot is FDA approved, it gets murky.
But yes ... agreed on 'leaders overriding' the expert panels that recommend for/against approval -- in this case the CDC overriding its own panel that sets schedules.
The same happened recent at the FDA too, with the Aduhelm (Alzheimer drug) approval, overriding the FDA's own expert panel that also strongly recommended against it.
This is why I'm taking serious issue with what we're doing, especially as resignations are happening with the associated accusations of complete interference that is not supported by the data.
It's not worse. It's just linear, 1:1.I read today that places with highest vaccination rates also experience high rates of infection and this was data from Israel and the UK. the article also cited in Vermont , the state with the highest rates of vaccine use also have 76 percent of their hospitalizations currently from the vaccinated. The article also went on reporting to say after 6 months the Pfizer efficacy plummets. The article is loaded with data and many won't read it simply because it's not from the most trusted name in cable news .
Something is going on here.

It's not worse. It's just linear, 1:1.
I.e., even though infection/spread rates just don't change with SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 (Delta), we're still seeing a linear relationship as more are mRNA vaccinated.
E.g., the more people are vaccinated, the more infections -- yes, breakthrough -- are making up the vaccinated, versus the unvaccinated.
It's just linear, and it's not even questioned by the NIH, in either direction. However ...
The secondary transmissions are the same, as breakthrough infections just happen similarly too, but ...
Most of the new studies are about duration of infection/spread at this point.
I.e., There is growing evidence that even against Delta, the duration of the vaccinated is reduced to 1 week instead of 2 -- about a 50% reduction overall. That too would explain the 25-50% reduction in overall Secondary Transmission over the same, extended period of time.
E.g., if you study the vaccinated and unvaccinated over a month or two, the vaccinated have breakthrough infections and spread like the unvaccined, but it's only half as long. And that explains why, even if they spread just as much, and the Secondary Transmission rate is just as fast, the overall spread/transmission over time is 25-50% less, aggregate, even if when someone that is infected still spreads the same -- vaccinated or unvaccinated.
So that IS a BENEFIT of the current crop of mRNA vectors., beyond just prevening serious disease/death in 80-90% of cases. Furthermore ...
That wouldn't be unlike deactivated or live-attenuated influenza vaccines either, in that they reduce botht the severity and length, while the infection efficacy is crap. The US CDC has repatedly had to admit, post-season, that it's only been a 16-25% reduction in 2016-2019 flu seasons (the 3 seasons prior to SARS-CoV-2). '15-'17 (2) were Flu-B heavy (more death), and '18-19 was Flu-C heavy (more infection/spread, but less death).
In any case ...
Herd immunity is utterly impossible with those absolutely poor numbers ... both with Influenza and now SARS ... if everyone -- even kids -- were vaccinated.

Nope. We're doing the same stuff you are.

I shared a bunch of numbers about this in a thread on Saturday that are of this same stripe. They don't make sense. The UK numbers are basically the opposite of what we should have expected. Israel's numbers show essentially no difference from a year ago. Only Canada has numbers that actually make sense.I read today that places with highest vaccination rates also experience high rates of infection and this was data from Israel and the UK. the article also cited in Vermont , the state with the highest rates of vaccine use also have 76 percent of their hospitalizations currently from the vaccinated.

Non you’re not. You have not friends and never leave NGEbraska. PussyNope. We're doing the same stuff you are.
Except the unvaccinated are dying offAnd yet the vaccinated still being infected/spreading the same as the unvaccinated.
According to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), unvaccinated individuals are 11 times more likely to die from Covid-19 than those who are fully inoculated, reports NPR’s Vanessa Romo. The study, published in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) on September 10, also found vaccinated individuals were almost five times less likely to get infected with the virus and ten times less likely to end up hospitalized due to complications from the virus.And yet the vaccinated still being infected/spreading the same as the unvaccinated.

The really troublesome part is that we are creating incubators that don’t die. Therefore, if an extremely deadly variant mutates in a host, that host is more likely to transmit it than an unvaccinated host. Follow that through a couple of iterations and we could very well create our own nightmare scenario with the absolute best of intentions. And, sorry, no amount of gaslighting and spooge gifs will help solve that potential outcome.It's not worse. It's just linear, 1:1.

Herd immunity has now been repeatedly proven to be utterly impossible with those absolutely poor numbers ... both with Influenza and now SARS ... even if everyone -- even kids -- were vaccinated with any of the current vectors.
We'll see if that changes if/when they not only update the spike protein away from SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-1 to Delta, as well as rolling out an intra-nasal delivery instead of intra-muscular.
It will be really interesting to see what happens in Italy this winter. They are over 80% vaccinated above the age of 12, and theoretically accomplished it at just about the right time.The really troublesome part is that we are creating incubators that don’t die.

That is legitimately “all you know”. He has a free readily available vaccine that all but prevents death from Covid. Do you think he cares that chuds who boo Drumpf rallies at the mere mention of the vaccine are dying from something preventable?All I know is Biden lied and people died. He said he could and would get Fauci's Wuhan Flu under control.
He took the vaccine. And he’s still alive. Such a gift.Over 300k people died under dementia man with covid. He was gifted a vaccine. He was gifted antibody treatment.
He got the third dose 2 years ago?Reports are the 3rd shot is causing dementia, communication issues, and walking issues.
Exhibit A
In his mind.He got the third dose 2 years ago?
