So, which is it?
- dgfitz 2y agoWhere is the discrepancy?
- tedd4u 2y agoFirst point lauds rapid approval which it claims was successful and saved millions of lives. Second point criticizes a "rushed" and "dangerous" approval.
- dgfitz 2y agoNo it doesn’t. Trump started it, Biden finished it. The only negative is “Biden didn’t listen to two people” which I think we all agree is a good thing.
- kcplate 2y ago> which I think we all agree is a good thing Not all of us agree and I say that with 3 covid vaccine shots coursing through my body. I believe the two FDA scientists were concerned about the Biden admin demanding vaccine mandates around the vaccine booster where the FDA would normally have consultative influence and was intentionally excluded. By the time of the booster, there was active reports of adverse cardiac side effects in younger men. Exactly the demographic (military aged men) most affected by the mandate. Also, the original effectiveness of the vaccines were decreased due to the COVID mutations. So the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive but certainly politics will spin the language in the report. The vaccines can and did help save lives and were rapidly created by Operation Warp Speed. Mandating the boosters for the military also put some lives at risk as well.
- meragrin_ 2y agoWrong. Second point criticizes the mandate. >>> They were ignored, and days later, the Biden Administration mandated the vaccine. It's one thing to ignore the issues and allow people to choose to take the vaccine. It's entirely different to force people to take it.
- flyingcircus3 2y agoOne administration was applauded for reducing the amount of time and resources spent evaluating the possible negative outcomes of the vaccine. One administration was harshly criticized for reducing the amount of time and resources spent evaluating the possible negative outcomes of the vaccine.
- EasyMark 2y agoI’ve never seen any data that showed it was any more dangerous than any other vaccines that we’ve used for decades, and the “objections”always seen to come from the sorts that don’t trust the government at all for any reason or because it serves their political advancement.
