Coronavirus

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Over the past few days I heard or read a news item that estimates full FDA approval for at least the Pfizer vaccine will be by this October.

https://www.statnews.com/2021/07/30/fda ... -approval/

Apparently the FDA is reassigning people/resources to speed up the process.

Process and procedures should be adapted to different circumstances. FDA approval never has meant that a product is absolutely guaranteed to never produce any side effects ever. It's quite clear, with hundreds of millions shots given, that "when used as directed" the vaccines are highly effective and produce minimal ill effects. Unless they just want to sit on it for a few years and see if anybody eventually grows a third eye or develops skin cancer from the chip implant, then get on with it.
It's a short article, but it sounds like the FDA is doing exactly that. I just understand how we have gotten to this point without full approval yet. It could be that we have never had full approval so rapidly, and we probably wouldn't need it were it not for the unprecedented phenomenon of COVIDiocy.

I guessed correctly this time. No joy in that.
And neither covidiot governor will pay a political price.
Could be, but if so politically I blame the Dems for not being able to take advantage as much as I blame the RepuQs for being mass murderers.

Texas is, well, Texas. But in Florida there should be enough Dems and Dem leaners to do something if they were slightly more competent. There are about 5.1 mill registered Republicans and about 5.2 mill Dems, but there are also 3.8 mill without party designation, so it's hard to tell the actual split. Problem is, DeSantis had pretty good approval across the board not long ago, and just before the Delta hit, he was at about 52% overall on the covid issue. Hard to see that holding up with Delta ravaging and DeSantis fiddling, though. Well, worse than fiddling, he's tossing fuel on the fire.

Fingers crossed, though relying on Dems to do the obvious and easy is always dicey.

Billy says something wrong with the quote thing.

Fixed.

My point. Without a competent Dem party, the incompetent RepuQs don't get beaten, and probably shouldn't get beaten.

DeSantis only won by 32K votes (.4%) to a black guy with corruption issues in office and a drug and sexual identity problem. Shouldn't be too hard to find somebody else.

I guess I'm a wondering why the R's are so against the government making any rules promoting sensible covid precautions, but are so seemingly OK with the private sector doing that, and more, even threatening employees' livelihoods?

Can we say, "Double Standard"?

I knew we could.

They're quietly not, but they also know where their bread is buttered.

Quite the wingnut conundrum.

Thing is, the R's seem to be fully in support of what they usually term "government overreach" if it benefits them personally (see: Trump). But to appeal to their base of the less fortunate, they'll swear on a stack of bibles it just ain't so.

"A law DeSantis signed in May gives him power to invalidate local emergency public health measures, including mask mandates and limitations on business operations. It also bans any business or government entity from requiring proof of vaccination."

He got duh power
