Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty (koe-mir’-na-tee), for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older. The vaccine also continues to be available under emergency use authorization (EUA), including for individuals 12 through 15 years of age and for the administration of a third dose in certain immunocompromised individuals.

No more “experimental drug”. As approved as aspirin.

So let’s here the denial machine punch into high gear…..

Ah, the evangelical that sows death among his brothers.

God would like to have a word with you dg.

It’s about your soul…..

Excellent, my PFE stock is doing quite well. Boosters for all.

Brewha left out some of the details

are you on any medications?

Far enough.

But why sow doubt about an approved protection for public health taken by millions and millions of Americans with little to no effect? What ax are you grinding?

It seems those axe's are inseparable in the current state of affairs.

If God doesn't believe in atheists... why does he make us so smart?

Damn.. you had me up until you said NO PORN...

No porn? Wtf!?!??!!?!?!?

We said we didn't believe in her first.

I didn't know Dg was right handed.

Also, you can use a fleshlight... might get expensive if you only want virgin ones.

Beware the open box.

If you're not worried about virginity and such, you can probably snag a used fleshlight on ebay for pretty cheap.

Ooooooh... the almighty government said so!

No one answered m sincere question

Did we get a warning list of side effects with the FDA approval?

Isn't that part of the legal FDA approval process?

I don't like needles. I cringe, grit my teeth, and look away when they draw blood on routine physicals. I close my eyes when a TV show or movie has a scene where IVs are inserted. I don't think I'd ever be able to be an addict where needles are involved.

If that makes me an antivaxer than guilty as charged.

Bucky hates needles so bad that he told us twice.

Thanks Bucky for admitting it, MACS never will.

Skepticism is the camouflage of evil, Criticism is man's covering of his evil intend. Which holds him back from the glory of God.

Unless there is within us that is above us, we will soon yield to that which is about us.

I admitted not liking (some may even qualify it as a phobia) needles. That has no bearing on my opinion or stance on vaccines be it this recent concoction, past vaccines, or future vaccines. Past and common vaccines, I'm more comfortable with because they have a decades of data to support them to be overall safe and effective. Two key words.

FDA approval or not, I wouldn't qualify the Rona one as it stands as an effective vaccine. If you need a booster every 8 months to "protect" you from the latest version of the bug, I wouldn't say it's very effective. Safety factor is still TDB, we have less than one year's of data on this thing.

If you get the shot, you can still catch the affliction.
If you get the shot, you can still be contagious and pass on the affliction.

That doesn't sound like a very effective vaccine to me. Sounds like they are just trying to hit a moving target and making it up as they go along. Again, safety and long term effects are TBD. Fact, not opinion. First vaccine of it's type using technology that hasn't made it out of the R&D labs until recently when we pushed it for wide spread use. Fact, not opinion. Hey, "in for a penny in for a pound... full steam ahead!"

If you had the mumps vaccine (for example), does it wear out and we need re-inject everyone every 6 months? Every year? Studies have this vaccine providing immunity for like 15 to 50 years, around 30 on average. Sounds pretty effective. Do we worry about those vaccinated from mumps passing it on to folks not vaccinated from the mumps or passing it on to those who are vaccinated from the mumps? Nope. Would I worry about getting a mumps vaccine if needed. Nope.

The common flu vaccine - it's FDA approved but I don't think it's effective. Another shot is offered every year for the best guess on which strain. Historical data puts it at about 50% effective, on average, since they have been tracking it. It's a coin flip. Vegas wouldn't even open a betting window on those odds. I don't get the yearly flu vaccine because I don't think it's effective.

Hep vaccine - it's FDA approved. 2 or 3 series of shots on a schedule with a few months between each shot. Then after that 10ish years immunity, but most likely lifetime. That sounds pretty effective. If you are in a job where you are more prone to be exposed to Hep (medical field and such), you probably want to keep up on any boosters. I'm OK with that but I'm not high risk for catching Hep so I haven't signed up to get inoculated. If I was in a situation or a job where I would need it, I wouldn't have issues with doing so.

So we need to get MACS drunk. Shouldn't be a problem.

Yes we did...

In clinical studies of participants 16 through 55 years of age, the most commonly reported adverse reactions (≥10%) were pain at the injection site (88.6%), fatigue (70.1%), headache (64.9%), muscle pain (45.5%), chills (41.5%), joint pain (27.5%), fever (17.8%), and injection site swelling (10.6%). (6.1)

In clinical studies of participants 56 years of age and older, the most commonly reported adverse reactions (≥10%) were pain at the injection site (78.2%), fatigue (56.9%), headache, (45.9%), muscle pain (32.5%), chills (24.8%), joint pain (21.5%), injection site swelling (11.8%), fever (11.5%), and injection site redness (10.4%).

The difference is if aspirin makes you grow a third ear or causes your immune system to fail, you can sue the manufacturer. I'd be inclined to consider it safe when the manufacturer stands behind their product. Sure I know that was part of the agreement to make the vaccine in a very fast manner. That said the vaccine is not to the same standard as prior approved drugs.

So the right to sue for an adverse event is a factor in your decision?

Shouldn't be a major factor but giving the makers, suppliers, and the government a free pass on liability kinda eliminates any risk on their end. All reward with no risk. If there is little or no risk for accountability of their actions, then what happens if $hit hits the fan?

Individuals are left holding the bag and have to live (or die) with any side effects and ramifications with no recourse. Makers, suppliers, and government skate free.

Wow... yet again, wrong. You're good at being wrong, I'll give you that!!

Totally sober for all my tats. Ya bleed too much if you thin the blood and it's harder for the tattoo artist to see wtf he's doing.

And you shouldn't be talking... you were drunker than I was Saturday!
