If you read their rubber stamp BLA approval letter, its amazing that they bypassed their own internal advisory board. Given that the board is usually made up of paid shills, that they were scared to undergo review shows that they cant back up their case.

This is proven during the booster shot debate. The FDA convened the board, and they voted overwhelmingly against. Didnt stop the FDA Director from overriding the board and approving boosters. That one is far more telling.
