My guess is this is an opening salvo in a longer negotiation. The idea is to make this request, then back off to "appear reasonable" and demand "balancing concessions" from the other side. These concessions will then be for more recent and less well established vaccines to be denied approval.
- ttyprintk 2y agoMaybe, but these are activist litigators and in this article are only interested in staying “outside” the government. They profit from big pharma more than any government official, shareholder, or doctor’s office. Aaron Siri is one of the best. I predict the strategy will be to burden FDA with paperwork and try to establish a pattern that no government agency could possibly keep up. Dismantling the authority of FDA will be talked about in terms of individual freedom (as Aaron Siri does before the Federalist Society) and conveniently demand the government maintains an avenue for class action.
