178 PFIZER NOT FULLY APPROVED! STILL UNDER EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION! (www.fda.gov) BREAKING NEWS posted 3 years ago by Qanaut 3 years ago by Qanaut +181 / -3 65 comments share 65 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Based on this (https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/development-approval-process-cber/vaccine-development-101) it looks like a BLA is pretty much FDA approval. Companies can manufacture and sell the vaccine for the approved purpose.
I guess the FDA just exposed itself for what it most likely has always been. A system to protect big Pharma by blocking any competition
Aside from making vaccine mandates/passports easier to implement, I'm not sure this will change any behavior regarding COVID. Pfizer was already manufacturing and selling it's product.
It seems we get package insert info now, though! (https://www.fda.gov/media/151707/download)
