The E in EUA does NOT stand for “experimental,” fool. The vaccines have gone through phase 3 clinical trials, just like any other vaccine.

So this is a little trickier, and it is currently under debate. Because the evidence required for an EUA is less than that required for a a licensed product, and for at least some EUA product “experimental” would be a good fit. So we want to be careful: 1/n

Law is about drawing lines, and some EUA products are experimental, and the serious scholars that want to keep the designation - not the deniers - are worried that letting the government decide which unapproved products are not experimental can lead to issues (think HCQ). 2/n

The challenge is drawing a serious line that doesn’t allow EUA to be used to rush products that are treated as approved - and remember, this was a real risk not that long ago and can be again - while not using experimental to limit what we can do, 4/n

When the product has very strong data behind it. 5/5

These vaccines are a relatively easy case under any standards I can think of.

Yes this one keeps getting thrown around. Yes there is a difference between “approved” and EUA. But the scurrilous use of this non dichotomy is deliberately disingenuous . Have to admit I’ve taken to replying at their level: “STFU. The A = authorized”

Yeah, right now Del Bigtree is threatening to sue the FDA because he thinks the messaging about vaccines granted an EUA isn’t strict enough about saying that they don’t have full FDA approval.

He also threatened to sue CDC for saying vaccines don’t cause autism. Anyone can bring baseless suits.
