Interesting that most comments focus on the social aspect of this instead of deciphering the science behind that approval.

- nl 5y agoThe switch from experimental to full approval is mostly about repeatable and certified manufacturing and logistics. There is no new science in this approval.
- bart_spoon 5y agoThere isn't much of a difference between the science behind this approval and that of an EUA. Its largely red-tape and bureaucracy.
- linuxftw 5y agoThat's not how the drug industry works. The companies fund and conduct their own efficacy and safety trials, the government just rubber stamps them. The FDA doesn't perform an actual science. They don't even require an impartial group to replicate the science. The FDA doesn't do really much of anything to collect safety data. There's seemingly no reason for the agency to exist.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoThe most interesting science is not public and probably never be. What, if any, internal debate was occurred at the FDA, their pre-approval questions for manufacturers, and their responses, ect. Without this, all we really have to go on is the public information that was release a year ago.
