The degree of cognitive dissonance required to jump from "You can't make me take an unapproved vaccine!" to "I'll take horse de-wormer instead!" is frankly pretty astonishing. Interesting too, in a frightening sort of way.
All three of the vaccines in the US are approved.
@Pat Pfizer was just approved yesterday but the other two are still only available under the government's emergency use authorization. That's the case in the US anyway.
They were approved months ago.
First they were approved for human trials. Then, after they had enough data from that, they were approved for emergency use.
You're referring to Pfizer getting approval for standard non-emergency use.
By the way, they didn't skip any steps in the development/testing/approval process. All they did was to perform some steps in parallel that they would normally do in series in order to complete all the steps more quickly.
