Nothing is more corrupt than a completely captured government agency. From Steve McCann at americanthinker.com:
Perhaps the most important long-term fallout of the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic has been the exposure of the venality and politicization within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as other federal health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Nothing personifies this corruption more than the FDA’s absurdly close ties to the pharmaceutical companies. Thus, their refusal to recognize proven inexpensive therapeutics and their unorthodox approach in licensing certain Pfizer and Moderna mRNA Covid-19 — vaccines that are not offered for sale in the United States.
What was the FDA’s and the pharmaceutical companies’ endgame in this process? Was it to gaslight the American people in order to sell vaccines and achieve mass vaccinations? Was their motive to protect the pharmaceutical companies from exposure to liability and a tsunami of litigation? Was it so the FDA could more easily approve these vaccines for children who are not at risk of Covid-19? Or all the above?
In August of 2021, the FDA, to great media fanfare, granted permanent approval for a Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. The catch: it was for a vaccine that was not available to Americans. What the FDA approved and licensed is Pfizer’s Comirnaty vaccine, not the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine that has been continuously in use under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) since December of 2020. Manufacturers of medicines sold under an EUA are immunized from legal liability.
