To The Eagle:

Though the Covid vaccines were developed in less than a year by using cutting edge MRNA technology, they were submitted to the same rigorous standards of scientific scrutiny, review and testing as all other existing vaccines. Due to the dire nature of the pandemic, the FDA issued a temporary Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the manufacture and distribution of the vaccines.

EUAs accelerate the availability of medical countermeasures, including vaccines, during public health emergencies such as the current Covid-19 pandemic. When the pandemic is declared by the CDC to be “over,” vaccine manufacturers will be required to re-apply for approval of their vaccines by the FDA through customary channels.

Click and read “Covid Vaccine Testing and Approval” and “Emergency Use Authorization for Vaccines Explained,” two excellent and easily understandable sources that explain how and why Covid-19 vaccines are definitively not “experimental.”

“America’s Front Line Doctors” are a professionally rejected and scientifically repudiated right wing cabal who have a reputation for twisting true statements to promote misleading ideas about vaccine safety. Go online to “What’s Wrong With America’s Front Line Doctors” for a fuller explanation of why they are not to be trusted.

FactCheck.org states the AFLDS’ goals seem more political than medical, connected as they are to the Tea Party Patriots Foundation and identifying themselves as “a project of the Free Speech Foundation,” a nebulous source of manufactured right wing journalism.

Welcome to the era of The Big Lie, and many others, large and small.
