All you are doing here is repeating yourself while side stepping/ignoring the FACTS I previously laid out that you cannot refute or logically dismiss. That is a dangerous precedent, which essentially allows big pharma via the FDA and the CDC to tell you anything they want because they know that fear and blind trust will sell it (along with a LOT of video testimonies by doctors, and a LOT of commercials).
And PLEASE do not mix patriotism in with your justification, because as we all know that is the last refuge of a scoundrel, and I don't see you as such to date.
My patriotism is quite sincere. I never fought for my country, never served in the military. I do very much appreciate those who do and have. I have a fantastic life. I love my life. I owe my freedom to those who have served. Now that this War on COVID has befallen us, it occurred to me that this is a way for me to give something back, a way to do something for my country. I can take this risk of an unknown new vaccine to do my part to stop the spread of the virus.
The virus is not going to go away by itself. It's a darn good thing so many Americans have gotten the vaccines already. Otherwise our hospitals would be hopelessly overwhelmed. The vaccines, and that fact that most Americans have gotten them are the biggest reason the pandemic is not far worse right now as we speak. Somebody had to step forward and take that risk. A lot of somebodies did that. Those people are patriots. America is far better off because of those patriots.
Thanks for the correction regarding authorization vs approval. It is a good distinction that I was overlooking. The words have precise meanings in regards to how the FDA uses them.
From your earlier link to a Forbes Article:
"Why do the vaccines even need full approval?
There are many reasons why it’s better for the company—and the public—to have full approval of a vaccine. For one, full approval bolsters the public’s confidence, as it means that the vaccine has gone through an ultra-rigorous process to look at safety and effectiveness. The emergency use authorization process is rigorous as well, but full approval looks at more data over a longer period of time. There are benefits for the company as well: public health emergencies have time limits, meaning the vaccine would no longer be able to be sold once it’s over. Full FDA approval means the drug can be used at any time for as long as it is approved."
You think I am ignoring facts you have posted; so I went back and reviewed our conversation. That led me to the link you posted.
The bottom line was that people trust their doctors more than they trust the FDA. I would advise anyone who is undecided about vaccines to talk to their own doctor.
Patriotism has NOTHING to do with the bad science for profit & expediency we are now seeing, so don't waste your time, my time and the readers trying to inject such into the conversation or detour down that road.
There is no proof that the vaccinations are the results of lower hospitalizations, as that trend started BEFORE mass inoculations began. The sheer stupidity of the reports of "the majority of the cases are among the un-vaccinated" boggles the mind, as the whole story of cases last year were among unvaccinated. To say such now alludes to the fact that you have a growing number of cases of vaccinated people STILL coming down with Covid, or being hospitalized with severe side effects.
And no matter how many times you repeat the meme of "world wide, ultra vigorous testing", the "vaccines" are STILL experimental...which is why the CDC and FDA are hesitant to claim full vetted approval. Add to this that this is a gene therapy included therapy that is EXPERIMENTAL (never before used as a "vaccine" among the general population, or gone through the years of clinical trials standard for the FDA).
And no, I'm not ignoring the content of the article....I posted it for the readers to see for themselves the dubious justifications for pushing this experimental therapy on the general public. To quote:
"Unfortunately, approving the vaccines isn’t just about science and evidence — the FDA also has political hurdles to overcome. ...."
and from your quote
The emergency use authorization process is rigorous as well, but full approval looks at more data over a longer period of time. There are benefits for the company as well: public health emergencies have time limits, meaning the vaccine would no longer be able to be sold once it’s over.

Money, politics and medicine ..... a bad combination if ever there was one. This results in relative short term vetting and testing...long term effects (more than 6 months to a year) not determined, short term bad side effects down played so long as the numbers are relatively small (or under-reported).
And let's not forget THE CORE TEST USED TO DETERMINE INFECTION IS NOT ACCURATE...it was not even designed to be used as such (so said it's inventor). Now one can do research from valid scientist who point out the flaws in trying to innovate the PCR test to detect infection (RT-PCR), and I for one wonder why there is no Noble accolade for such an innovation on a process that won it's inventor such? Bottom line, false positives and negatives determine how a malady is treated....so if you go to the hospital with old fashioned respiratory infections or pneumonia and such and get a "positive" Covid test, you don't get treated the same.
That can get you seriously messed up, if not killed.
the bottom line: you're just going to ignore or excuse all else to adhere to the mantra.....facts, critical thinking be damned. A pity.
