The FDA is making the rules that the only way to take a vaccine is by their approval. By FDA rules, there is no in-between of being illegal to administer and being recommended (aka no "up to you" zone) Right now, for instance, they are conducting tests on a couple thousand 11 year olds even though we have data on millions of 12 year olds. Data from the 12 year olds will not be used to determine if it is safe for 11 year olds. If you are a parent of an 11 year old not only is the vaccine not recommended - you are now allowed to get it. I am saying the FDA should allow more flexibility instead of demanding to be the arbiter of every decision. They want, however, to be the arbiter of every decision because it makes them more integral to the system.
