I never said the FDA was offering incentives and you know that. The incentives are there - the question is, why?

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.
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.
Please read a bit more carefully. the 58 was covid alone. I'm not talking about Chicago.

Many other have said it, go check vaers.
This VAERS? Sigh.
VAERS accepts reports of adverse events and reactions that occur following vaccination. Healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public can submit reports to the system. While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. In large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.

The first time I saw a real US drug advert I thought it was a parody made for Saturday night live or something.
I couldn't believe the number of side effects and the speed they rattled them out.

The shot does not stop infection or transmission.
At this rate the vaccinated will be passing all the variants amongst themselves. Given enough time people will see the unvaccinated wont be the sick ones.

I'd say when they know the long term effects....call me crazy, but I tend to think about the future and I like to be able to compare past experiences and such to make a good decision....how long have mRNA vaccines been used in humans again? Oh...yep...for about a year.

What control group, there is another thread on ATS posted earlier today that they vaccinated the control group, there was no control group. How much plainer english do I have to say that. But you believers just gloss over factss that are inconvenient to you.

The people they gave the placebo to m they called them back before the study was done and told them they had the placebo and gave almost all of them the real vax. That is what i mean. I don't know how much clearer to make it. And for those saying it is not mandated, biden just went on tv and encouraged all private sector to mandate it for employees

I can side with you they did expedite the process, but now we are also 9 more months and 3+ billion into the mix too, so at what point do you think it is enough?
The other side I agree with you too that employees can now be mandated. I hope they don't, but FDA approved could allow for much more Draconian decisions all over the place, and that will be bad.
There is about 50 million liberals not wanting to get the jab too, so if liberal states and our liberal fed go that direction I wonder what 2022 and 2024 will look like when they all go to vote.

OK and you are proving the point of those of us on here saying you don't need the vax unless you are elderly or immunocompromised or have co-morbidities . And even then it doesn't appear to do a good job.

How many people here said over and over it is not FDA approved, and now the same people say they will not get it...lol

If they want to impress me with approval, yank today's approval, and try again in a decade after proper thorough research & observation of the test subjects. End of discussion on that front, though it does not matter to me either way. I will not take a Kleenex Vaccine.

Rushing FDA approval on an already rushed iffy shot does not validate the shot at all.
