FDA analysis finds Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine meets 'success criteria'

The U.K. began its nationwide vaccination program Tuesday and the U.S. could be right behind it. The Food and Drug Administration determined a clinical trial of the same Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine met the agency's "success criteria." Immunotherapy scientist Dr. Leo Nissola joins CBSN's "Red and Blue" anchor Elaine Quijano with the major takeaways.

So we can’t know the ingredients and you can’t sue the manufacturer. Umm no thanks!

Person from the UK here : my parents received the vaccine yesterday and are both in fine fettle. They are both in their late 80's and have spent today exactly as they would normally, so don't get scared of this .

My father said :

" If the vaccine works, then great. If it doesn't, well, we add to the data which will eventually solve the problem".

This is someone needs to do it. My respect for my parents is off the scale right now.

There are existing medicines to treat this but the Pharmacy companies can't make big money by using medicine out of patent. Of course if your real goal is money and control, it is going perfectly

Imagine assuming that government agencies, media, and powerful corporations have your best interests in mind. Being suspicious of the fact that they are demanding unlimited access to your veins in exchange for the ability to live a normal life does not make you a "science denier".

Kary Mullis - who was awarded a Nobel Chemistry Prize - has always stated that the RT/PCR test being used worldwide by the WHO and government health agencies to test for COVID 19 was never to be used for infectious diseases.

“First, we’ve got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent …”
