Why are the major COVID-19 vaccines still under FDA emergency use authorization guidelines? What's preventing the FDA from dropping those special rules and treating the vaccine like every other vaccine?
Further, if we can't react to a pandemic which could be even quicker spreading and more deadly than covid because we're unable to lower the risk tolerance for a cure/vaccine then that seems to be complete against any common sense.
If people perceived covid to be as deadly as it is made out to be, we wouldn't have low vaccination rates. People are not getting the vaccine because they don't see a need too.
In the future could we argue that since most felons come from low income households, that you need to be of a certain income threshold to reproduce?
These are batshit crazy things but where does it end? You dont really believe that it'll stop with this vaccine?
If you decide that you accept the risk of cancer from smoking, should you be allowed to smoke at your desk?
Compared to Approval -> Production. If they drop the emergency use, technically they would need to stop production of the vaccine..
