I can't recall lotteries, cash rewards, or sweepstakes entries (as my local CVS is advertising) ever being a part of a vaccine rollout, can you? What "part of the process" is normal in this case?
FDA was offering all that?
If you think about it phase 3 is around 3000 people or less and that could be a few months or even a year or more until it is finished. If it is a serious drug for a serious illness it can take a long time to get enough sick people in the trials, but for a vaccine it is much easier.
If we look at the COVID vaccine they double the time from initially 2 months for Phase 3 to 4 months and used 30,000 people. Funny what one can do when all the money needed is there too. Now if that is still not up to your personal strict protocols then lets add in 3 billion more people and another 7 months to the mix with about the most intense reporting/monitoring of any drug in the history of mankind.
At what point would you say the vaccine is OK?

Of the people in the four floors of their hospital dedicated to covid patients.
neat....4 floors. How many people are there? you said 98%. Well.....98% of how many? is there a single person on each floor? Are all the floors full? Is there 1 bed per floor?
Anyone can make stats say anything they want.
Exactly.
Here in Canada we had 1 Delta case, then a few weeks later we had 2.
The headlines ran "Delta case's double as hospitals struggle to keep up"

VAERS shows 1% of people who reported one or more of those symptoms died.
I'll take my chances with Covid.

Yeah....after they skipped the whole VRBPAC part because there is no appointed chair of the FDA that has gone through congressional approval it was easy peasy. Always makes it easier to change the rules.
But who cares about these silly oversight approval committees anyways? Right?

How are they justified?
The shot does not stop infection or transmission.
So what justification is there for mandating the shot?

Just called him. My bad. They just last night overflowed into a fourth floor,. They are over 100% capacity, and as of last night, there were by his estimates approx 58 (out of approx 160 total beds) hospitalized covid cases with another 21 in ICU (28 total ICU beds). All but one ICI unvaccinated. The 7-day average is 280 cases (out of 1301 ED visitors) confirmed in the ED, leaning heavily to with ED wait times exceeding 9 hours.
I'm not making stats say anything. Almost all of their cases are in unvaccinated people.

I think most of us have a problem with how fast each step was and the fact that pfizer had no control group as they vaccinated the control group. Technically the FDA can say they went through each phase but each phase was rushed through and they took a process that normally takes years and collapsed it down to months, if you can't see the problem in that than I don't know what to tell you.

I think you are grasping for straws now... It is fine just to say I don't want it without trying to justify it most likely more to yourself than others.

I can understand your concerns, but time for other clinical trials can be months or years, much depends on the drug, what illness is it working on, and the big one is money. With COVID vaccine they used 10x the people normally used in Phase 3 from 3000 or less that is normally use to using 30,000. We also have an additional 9 months of data from that controlled group and additional 3+ billion vaccinated, so at what point will you suggest they did enough?

The package inserts lists the most commonly reported adverse effects. I am just doing the math on those adverse effects that were reported to VAERS...which is managed by the FDA and CDC.
1.05% of those who reported one or more of the most commonly reported adverse effects also died.

How are they over 100% capacity with only 58 people in 160 beds? As far as the rest, that is no worse than a weekend in Chicago.
