Democrats- abusing the word "choice" since 1973.

Yes, in less than 1/10th of the time it usually takes them to approve a new drug.

There are two possibilities here: These novel medical treatments are dangerously untested and we have no idea what harms they may cause.

Or

The FDA is a disgustingly slow bureaucracy that pointlessly delays useful medical treatments.

At least one of these must be true. Possibly both of them.

From reading that article, it appears they are only extending the EUA from 15 year olds to 12 year olds.

"Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty (koe-mir’-na-tee), for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older. The vaccine also continues to be available under emergency use authorization (EUA), including for individuals 12 through 15 years of age" says the article. So, yes, it is fully approved for people 16 and over.

That article is from the CDC. That's not an approval notice. You read the actual FDA documents you find out they approved a completely different vaccine and just extended the emergency use authorization.

But your assertion is not true. The FDA's site confirms the same fact that the CDC says:

"Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty (koe-mir’-na-tee), for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older."

"While this and other vaccines have met the FDA’s rigorous, scientific standards for emergency use authorization, as the first FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccine, the public can be very confident that this vaccine meets the high standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality the FDA requires of an approved product,” said Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock, M.D.

WHICH Pfizer vaxx has full FDA approval? Be specific, be very specific, because it is NOT the one widely available and being administered in the US.

FDA says: "On August 23, 2021, the FDA approved the first COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty, for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older." Same vaxx, new marketing name.

Just go out, exercise, stop smoking and stop holding people accountable for your own health.
