This is the most absurd premise I have ever heard:<p>"Given the urgency of the situation, we cannot rationally conclude that these committed professionals are dragging their feet unnecessarily, while lives hang in the balance; to think otherwise would be to fundamentally misunderstand the shared goal of every single person involved with the project of delivering a safe and effective vaccine to our youngest."<p>I thought this was a joke on first read.<p>The FDA banned vaccines that were almost certainly safe and effective for over 6 months to satisfy internal processes.<p>The FDA blocked testing of all kinds repeatedly.<p>The FDA banned (temporarily) J&J for no good reason, which was the biggest single cause to vaccine hesitancy.<p>The American Academy of Pediatrics had seen enough date weeks ago for approval, and effectively begged the FDA to act.<p><a href="https://t.co/0J7mGkp9t4?amp=1" rel="nofollow">https://t.co/0J7mGkp9t4?amp=1</a><p>The author assumes that what is happening can't possibly be happening, and is speculating wildly on alternative explanations.
