Former FDA chief on FDA report on Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine

The staff of the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday endorsed the emergency use of Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine, a critical step forward in winning formal clearance to be administered to the public as early as next week.

The staff report is meant to brief the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, which meets Thursday to review Moderna’s request for emergency use authorization.

The group of outside medical advisors recommended Pfizer’s vaccine for emergency use last Thursday, and the FDA approved it the next day. The committee is expected to recommend Moderna’s vaccine. The FDA doesn’t have to follow the committee’s recommendation, but it often does.

The FDA staff said it determined that the clinical trial results and safety data were “consistent with the recommendations set forth in FDA’s Guidance on Emergency Use Authorization for Vaccines to Prevent COVID-19.”

“FDA has determined that the Sponsor has provided adequate information to ensure the vaccine’s quality and consistency for authorization of the product under an EUA,” it said.

The announcement helped Moderna’s stock rise 1.5% just before the opening bell.

The documents are “enormously encouraging,” said Dr. Paul Offit, a voting member on the committee, adding they show there are now two highly effective vaccines. He voted in favor of recommending Pfizer’s vaccine last week.

Moderna is asking the FDA to approve the use in people age 18 and over, while Pfizer’s vaccine was cleared for use in people age 16 and older. The scant data in younger teens was a sticking point for the few members of the advisory committee who voted against authorizing Pfizer’s vaccine last week.

Why doesn't anyone think a guy who is on the board of Phizer is a conflict of interest

Sounds like there's a lot of dependency on avoiding human error in transporting and storing by people who are being mass hired by pharma retail. I'll pass for now. Will wait for Politicians, Hollywood celebs, billionaire class, vocal media figures to try it first....will wait for a year or two. Thanks.

Estratto dalla relazione 11 Dicembre 2020 contenuta nel sito della FDA, dal titolo: “FDA Takes Key Action in Fight Against COVID-19 By Issuing Emergency Use Authorization for First COVID-19 Vaccine”, relativa all’autorizzazione concessa per l’utilizzo del vaccino Pfizer-BioNTech nella fase emergenziale del Covid-19. In essa si legge tra l'altro che:
”At this time, data are not available to make a determination about how long the vaccine will provide protection, nor is there evidence that the vaccine prevents transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from person to person.”
Traduzione:
“Al momento, non sono disponibili dati per stabilire per quanto tempo il vaccino fornirà protezione, né ci sono prove che il vaccino prevenga la trasmissione di SARS-CoV-2 da persona a persona".
