So your hang up is the FDA giving full approval? Because recent reports indicate that will likely be happening for the Pfizer vaccine next month. Somehow I think there will be a major shifting of goalposts by the anti-vax camp around that time.

  It’s not a strawman. We already require a variety of vaccinations so the “requiring people to consume a medical product is wrong” argument is bunk. The only differentiation is that this vaccine has yet to receive full approval. I’m simply focusing on the only relevant part of the argument that is being made here, and pointing out that in 6 weeks it won’t hold any water anymore.

Recent reports indicate that the reason it's getting FDA approval so soon is not because of any specific scientific evidence or the standard FDA process, but instead it's being approved early as a deliberate political tactic to undermine this argument used by people who don't trust the vaccines: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/04/fda-approval-pfizer-vaccine-coronavirus-502397 https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/04/fda-approval-pfizer... I don't think it's the "anti-vax camp" who's behind the major shifting of the goalposts here.
