ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan today issued the following statement after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized full approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine:
“We want to thank federal officials for authorizing full approval of the Pfizer vaccine, which is something we have been pushing for over the last several weeks. For people who are still hesitant about getting the vaccine, this is an assurance that it has met the most rigorous standards for safety and effectiveness.
“While this is an important step, full approval of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines is also vital to our efforts, and there are still a number of other areas where swift action is needed at the federal level to maximize our vaccination campaign.
“Federal officials must make booster shots available immediately for seniors and vulnerable populations. The State of Maryland is already mobilizing for the utilization of boosters, and we cannot afford to wait until the fall to protect those we know are most vulnerable.
“We also continue to call on the federal government to expedite approval so that our 5- to 11-year-olds can begin receiving COVID-19 vaccines. Getting our children vaccinated is critical to giving parents greater peace of mind, but we are being told approval is still months away.
“Any further delay on boosters and expanding vaccine access could be devastating to our continued recovery from COVID-19. We look forward to working with the Biden administration on all of these issues.”
They better not try to force me to vaccinate my kid, I will definitely homeschool him !
Hogan had better go and do some research on this so called approval. This is still an Experimental Drug it has not been fully approved because this damn thing is being rushed through and has not been through its long term study which is a requirement in order to get fully approved. Once again we are being lied to.
How did the FDA give full approval for the vaccine when they didn’t even have time to test it for long term effects for the first vaccine, Awfully quick to give full approval. I sure will not be taking any of them.
Its going to be a very very long holiday season – then ride the roller coaster into 2022.
Ugh.
Does full FDA approval mean the Drug companies can now be held liable for any negative effects the “vaccines” cause?
Not if you still need to sign the waiver before getting the jab 11:03
The technical meaning behind FDA approval is that the product in question, has benefits which outweigh the risks. Therefore, if a product has 51% beneficial qualities and 49% potentially harmful qualities, it could still receive FDA approval.
Oftentimes, companies that initially gain FDA approval end up recalling their product due to a safety hazard or product defect. In many cases, these hazards or defects result in many consumers sustaining injuries. Then, they will pursue class-action lawsuits. This happens because “FDA-approved” does not always equal “safe.” In fact, many people over the years have suffered permanent bodily harm or even death after using an FDA-approved product.
