The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will decide on whether to fully approve the use of the Pfizer Covid vaccine in the U.S. for those aged 16 and over no later than January 2022, it has been announced. The vaccine is currently only authorised for emergency use in Americans aged 12 and over and has been given to millions of people across the world. The MailOnline has the story.
According to a press release from the [Pfizer and BioNTech] on Friday, the federal health agency’s goal date for a decision is by January 2022.
If approved, the vaccine will be the first fully approved Covid shot and could help ease vaccine hesitancy among some Americans due to the longer-term data required for full FDA approval.
As of Friday, more than 186.5 million shots of the vaccine have been administered in the U.S., according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Because Pfizer’s vaccine is currently approved for use on an emergency basis, it is still considered somewhat experimental despite data showing it is safe and effective.
Additionally, emergency use authorisation requires less clinical trial data, with the FDA only requiring two months of follow-up before approving the shot for those 16 and older in December 2020.
The designation is also intended to be temporary.
If and when the shot is fully approved, companies and schools may feel more comfortable requiring employees and students to get it.
The decision would also allow the vaccine makers to market their shots directly to the general public.
According to the press release, Pfizer and BioNTech completed the rolling submission of data to the FDA in May 2021.
It includes data from the Phase III trial completed last year and six months of follow-up data rather than two months.
Although the shot is currently approved for use in teenagers and adults, the full approval would only be for those aged 16 and older because emergency authorization for Americans aged 12 to 15 only occurred in May.
The companies plan to apply for full approval in teens as well, but only after six months of follow-up data is available, the press release states. …
Moderna Inc has also filed for full approval from FDA for its Covid vaccine, announcing the news on June 1st. …
The decision to fully approve Moderna’s vaccine will likely come after the Pfizer decision due to Moderna submitting its application later.

The spokesman also dismissed reports in the Telegraph of the app pinging people through brick walls, saying it used “low energy Bluetooth”, thus making that situation “highly unlikely”.
I used to use bluetooth over about 10 metres and through closed windows
This article says it goes through walls and concrete floors
https://www.bluetooth.com/blog/3-common-mythsabout-bluetooth/
It always was a crazy idea to use blutooth for that purpose. It was not developed with that in mind.
Like everything else technological which was invented to help mankind and make life easier – all now being used against us to further the globalist agenda….
Does this mean the app will start crying if someone shouts at it
When will the Conservative MPs realise that their leader is doing exactly what Starmer and the Nomenklatura want him to? Perhaps they like this nonsense.
MPs are members of elite groups
A blue elite, a red elite, or a yellow elite
They do as they are told by the heads of these elites
The idea that they represent their constituents is laughable
A yellow elite.
Every one of them,
Not many yellow cunts
I saw one once but Nystatin cured it
Some already have – the core group that consistently vote and speak against the covid nonsense measures.
Others might have but are too afraid to speak out or are hopeful of a junior minister post
The Cabinet are in it up to their necks and they know it
The rest are probably just as brainwashed as the general population
I think because there are so very few real ‘conservatives’ in the party. It’s been there for a while, but many of us were convinced the new intake in December 2019 would provide more of a balance back to conservative values after a substantial clear out of the dross with the likes of Grieve, Gyimah, Soubry etc.
I cancelled my membership last September and I’m done with them completely. It felt good writing ‘NONE’ across the ballot papers in May.
Well – as an objective observer who wouldn’t care if the Tory Party disappeared from the face of the earth – the likes of the intellectual heft of Grieve is precisely what the existing dross lack.
Your beloved red cunts would do what ? Lock down harder, Haven’t you got it yet they are all fucking corrupt pigs as long as their snouts are in the swill.
“their leader is doing exactly what Starmer and the Nomenklatura want him to?”
Another pathetic Tory apologist.
Mr Toad is doing precisely what he’s always done – of his own volition – and what his Party has completely supported him in doing.
Starmer is doing exacty what the Tories want him to do – is a more accurate description.
Labour and Conservative are just two cheeks of the same arse. An arse that shits on us all.
Whats that coming over hill?
Is it a lockdown is it a lockdown?
Whats that coming over the hill?
Is it a lockdown?
BBC are certainly priming us for one when they find time in between pushing the vaccine.
If people are stupid enough to have the app, let them get pinged.
Maybe they want to be! Let’s face it, if you get paid time off work, feel well, and have your own garden to sunbathe in, what’s not to like?
Highly likely in many cases.
One mans 10 days house arrest without trial is another mans fully funded ten day summer holiday
Indeed. As they’re handing tests out free and it’s easy to generate a phony positive, the choice is between ten days off work fully paid, or actually going to work. Tough call.
Is there actually much the government can do to tune it anyway? Isn’t their app just a pretty front end on top of an API provided by Google and Apple?
If I owned a business I would request my employees turn the app off or face ‘no pay’ for any isolation period, unless they have symptoms and a postive test. Certainly a negative test is deemed adequate to access various things so it must work the other way too.
My wife’s school told all staff never to download the app.
Not only that, no test with no symptoms, in that sequence only.
I find it appalling that anyone is still using the app. Even if you were gullible or curious enough to download it in the first place you must surely have realised by now that it’s a crock of shit.
It couldn’t be more obvious that the government is not acting rationally but is pursuing some ideological agenda (the WEF’s). What possible reason could there be to throw industry, transport, health and education into chaos in the coming weeks through the brilliantly named “pingdemic”? There is none. It will lead to worse health outcomes not better ones.
Indeed. The narrative is consistently evolving to induce fear where there should be freedom, confusion where there should be clarity and an inevitability to the resumption of full lockdowns when there should be an acknowledgment that they have caused incalculable damage and should not be relied upon again.
We don’t get news of how other countries and jurisdictions around the world have moved on – only news from those that are signed up to this scam.
There is an open recklessness to this government now that wasn’t visible to many people this time last year. They are now all in with going nuclear on the economy.
At least it’s only the moron’s who use the app who are having to isolate.
You’ve gotta be either an absolute idiot or an absolute skiver to be using this. We do not use it at my place of work despite our foreign corporate office being absolutely corona mad. Luckily we’re a small outpost with our own rules on this, masks and other things.
If you have contractual sick pay, you won’t mind being pinged and having 10 days off work.
If you have to rely on statutory sick pay, that cuts your income right down to about £95 per week. For many people, that’s a real problem.
I suggest that more working class people will be hit by having only SSP to rely on if they are pinged. The middle class are far more likely to be in jobs with contractual sick pay.
The great pandemic eh…..where the middle class hid at home, while the working class brought them things. And the working class kept working, while the middle class got furloughed. Now the middle class can have paid time off if they are pinged, while the working class have to struggle by on £95 a week.
Whoever is stupid enough to have this app deserves to be pinged.
I saw it as useful for anonymously checking into venues but always had the contact tracing paused. I have now deleted it as the law doesn’t demand contact tracing from Monday.
Get rid of the damn thing!
Why would anyone install an app or use any form of technology that tracks, traces, follows you around and could imprison you at a random moments notice innocent or guilty . How can this be? Utter stupidity. How did it ever come to be so? [rhetorical].
I’m still reeling from the fact that so many bought into this scam. Who was the salesperson/con artist that made this sale? I know someone who needs to sell some time share in the South of France.
If they can manipulate the sensitivity of the app they can keep this charade going without measures.
I was thinking that they’ll tweak it so the ‘fully injected’ don’t get pinged, leaving only the uninjected being targeted. But – if the uninjected are distrustful of the government and the panscam, it’s highly unlikely they will have downloaded the app, so won’t get pinged anyway…my thoughts, therefore are useless!
It might be a reflection of my sitting in the garden and having a glass or three of chilled wine that has my thoughts in such disarray… hic!

Of course the government won’t desensitise the app. But these idiots that continue fulfilling the government’s agenda will be crying in their beer soon…oops, there won’t be any beer or food because everyone will be off work ‘self isolating’ Nice one!
