They have gone through most of the FDA approval process. 3 phase clinical trials have been completed. Applications have been submitted for the two mRNA vaccines, and the ~6 month rolling review process has started. They also have been approved for emergency use, which might be what is referred to here.
Her overall point stands fine even if she misrepresented the completion of the approval process. The vaccines are well tested. Adverse reactions are primarily immune response related, and at similar rates to the unvaccinated population.
- busymom0 5y agoWhy are you okay with giving her the benefit of the doubt for something she was entirely wrong - a luxury which she doesn't even afford to others when she wants people to be banned from all social media? There is no "most of the FDA approval process" gold standard as she claimed. None of the vaccines have gone through that and they are being used under the EUA. It's 100% factually wrong. And if her political opponent has said something similar, they would get crucified for it.

Look at the package insert for Pfizer: "FDA has authorized the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, which is not an FDA-approved vaccine." https://www.fda.gov/media/144413/download https://www.fda.gov/media/144413/download
