      The FDA is going to analyze all the trial data and provide briefing documents to the advisors who will then carefully review them. So, yes, no rush.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1357493589031452679 …

      Why should this take 3 weeks though? Is the data intrinsically that complicated? Is there any doubt that J&J will be approved?

      Like take a long weekend and order some pizzas but 3 weeks is a lot of fucking time when you should have some pretty strong priors based on other vaccines etc.

      Um, the J&J vaccine is an entirely different technology. We don’t actually have as much in the way of “priors” as you think. Seriously, though, just stop. At this point you’re just embarrassing yourself.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

          No. Only Nate sees the urgency here. It’s up to him to inform everyone else that this is a really urgent situation, and without him, we would have no idea.

          IKR? I mean, clearly, no one else appreciates the urgency the way that Nate does.😂

          FDA also need to receive the correct format of database so the programmers and statisticians can run and check the data. Everything is expedited already. But when it comes to medicines/vaccines, we should not be rushing.

          He’s way past embarrassing himself, that happened when he started opining on vaccine strategy he clearly isn’t qualified to offer. But that doesn’t seem to matter to him, he keeps spouting off the sooth his ego I guess.

          To be fair, there is more prior with adeno based vaccines than LNP/mRNA. It’s ok to ask why it takes a certain amount of time? Why not 2 weeks or 1?

          The usual review time is 12 months. These EUAs in 3 weeks are wildly faster than that.
