The Food and Drug Administration has given full approval to the two-dose Covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer/BioNTech.
Public health officials hope the approval will prompt more people to take the vaccine, which is no longer considered experimental.
The approval could also pave the way for a number of public and private organizations who were waiting for final regulatory approval to implement vaccine mandates. A number of universities and hospitals have said they intend to make inoculation mandatory for their students/staff, and the Pentagon has said it will require all of its servicemembers to receive a Covid-19 shot once one is fully approved.
Pfizer is now expected to seek approval for a third dose of their vaccine – a booster shot – which has been shown in Israeli studies to give a high level of protection against infection in older adults, among whom the first two doses are beginning to wear off.
President Joe Biden last week recommended that all Americans receive a third dose of the vaccine eight months after becoming fully vaccinated, after studies found that the protection conferred by those shots drop precipitously over time.
The FDA is also expected to give final approval to Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine in the coming weeks, but that review has been bogged down by investigations into rare side effects linked to the vaccine.
all the sheep can now line up to get shot…

Don’t be a sheep; remain a donkey!
Thank you for your voluntary membership in the shrinking control group.
@MD-I was thinking the same. Lakewood has provided an excellent control group. These are the same people that run to CHOP for a broken leg.
Get ready to resist tyranny. Both vaccinated and unvaccinated need to understand that mandates of any kind related to health are not good for anyone and are a slippery slope.
The only correct response to medical tyranny is resistance. These shots are worse than useless. They line the pickets of very evil people with cash from our treasury while ensuring a future for the sickness care industry.
