Egh… no. They wanted the FDA to put it under NDA for 75 years. Which a judge said was bull.

I don’t have to be anti-vax at all (and I’ve got the full regular schedule) to say that’s acting suspicious and like you have something to hide.

Nowhere does it say "NDA" in the articles you posted. That year number is derived from the number of pages the FDA can produce a month with current staffing levels, as funded by the federal government. If you wan the FDA to become more efficient, maybe we should lobby the federal government to provide more funding so it can act quicker.
As though Pfizer didn’t have quite a few of the documents already and could have released them themselves…

And as though $7.2 billion a year isn’t enough to get the job done.

Cool, how does that any way shape or form relate to this discussion? Did they make the claim that they are 100% safe and will never cause interactions ever? If so, show me the exact quote where they said that. There are many reasons to ask for an NDA, and lying is only one of them. Hanlon’s razor and all that.

Are the numbers incorrect? That is what actually matters, in the end.

Just because something looks suspicious doesn’t mean that it is. You are choosing to believe that it is, and that is influencing your response.

You still haven’t shown any sort of study or proof that vaccines (or even this vaccine specifically) cause cancer, by the way. If you’re so sure they do, I’m sure there’s something to back that up. After all, Moderna has provided the data to back their own claims up already.

A. I didn’t say they did cause cancer. I don’t believe they do. I am sympathetic to those who want more investigation.

B. Hanlon’s razor is flawed, as well-executed malice is indistinguishable from stupidity.

C. Contrarywise, you are choosing to believe that it is not suspicious behavior; when being suspicious of a company with decades of fines and convictions is arguably quite reasonable.

D. There are many reasons for your wife to not be talking to you, have a dating profile, and have legal letters in the mail. Divorce planning is just one of them.
