"Approaching what appears to be the imminent licensure of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, ICAN’s legal team submitted a Citizen Petition demanding essential and specific data be required by the FDA before it licenses a vaccine for COVID-19. These requested data are vital to ensuring both safety and efficacy of the vaccine before any approval by the FDA."
I'm not at all clear why this licensure should be imminent when the stage 3 trials are not yet scheduled to be completed, but let that pass.
The point is that if the FDA grants full approval then it becomes far easier to mandate the vaccine on the unvaccinated, maybe through employment conditions travel conditions, health service conditions or any other means.
I also have no doubt that approval by our UK MHRA will be a foregone conclusion as soon as the FDA approval is granted.
