In a move that was not unexpected, the FDA played it's part in the COVID drama [again] and moved to provide cover for various entities both governmental and non-governmental to step up the totalitarianism.
While we are not at the level that Australia has sunk to (that country should no longer even be considered a "demos" and their ambassadors should be kicked out of any and every actual freedom respecting country.
Anyway, Not surprised. As I've pointed out in previous posts, these vaccines have killed more people than the flu shots given since 1990. A few years ago, that alone would have prevented any kind of approval, much less a mandate from any entity with a healthy fear of lawsuits and bankruptcy.
But these are not normal times and these are not competent agencies. No. This is a country where sitting governors dismiss constitutional restraints as "above pay grade". Where governors enact policies that kills thousands of people, then commit felonies to cover it up and resigns only because he made some women uncomfortable. Where a sitting president can boldly lie to the citizenry about foreign military endeavours and nobody is held to account. And we have political prisoners being held and abused while the "authorities" admit there was no "insurrection plot" of any kind.
Oh and after complaining about police shooting of unarmed people, Ashli Babbit's killer was exonerated.
And be clear, Ashli Babbit was no more a danger than Ahmaud Arbery was claimed to be.
No, this system is corrupt all the way through and it has enforcers (police) who will kill you if you get out of line (MOVE and WACO for example). No, they are drunk on power and know they are beyond correction. They know even if their policies are reversed years later, they already got the results they wanted and enjoy "qualified immunity".
Anyway. MarketTicker has some interesting points about the current legal ramifications of the FDA announcement:
"The makers can apply for full authorization, of course, but the EUAs are void as of this morning and under black letter law cannot be administered to anyone in the United States as they are now unlicensed and unlawful products in human beings until and unless they are given full approval themselves. No medical provider can offer or administer any other than the Pfizer Covid-19 shot in the United States as of the moment of that approval."
Personally, I expect the other two to get the rubber stamp soon.
