The corrupted science behind Biden\u2019s COVID vax mandates<\/a><\/h1>\n
\n
By James Bovard<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

President Joe Biden decreed on Sept. 9, 2021, that more than 100 million Americans must get COVID-vaccine injections.<\/p>\n

But newly disclosed emails show that the Food and Drug Administration finding behind that order, official certification of the jabs as \u201csafe and effective,\u201d was the result of a bureaucratic bait-and-switch.<\/p>\n

The FDA had approved COVID vaccines on an emergency<\/em>-use basis in December 2020, before Biden even took office.<\/p>\n

The White House assumed that was the silver bullet to enable Biden to save Americans from COVID.<\/p>\n

But it soon became clear that many Americans were hesitating to get jabbed, in part because the FDA approval was solely for emergency use.<\/p>\n

Many Americans have long been wary of vaccines, including health-care workers who avoid flu shots.<\/p>\n

The president championed vaccines with evangelical fervor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations,\u201d he insisted in a July 21, 2021, CNN town hall.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s claim was false, spurred by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decision to ignore any \u201cbreakthrough\u201d COVID infections that did not result in death or hospitalization.<\/p>\n

As for the emergency-only approval<\/a>, Biden assured the audience that \u201cthe group of scientists we put together\u201d will \u201cget a final approval\u201d very soon.<\/p>\n

In fact, when Pfizer applied for full approval in May 2021, the FDA said it aimed to announce a decision in January 2022<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But that wasn\u2019t fast enough for the Biden White House.<\/p>\n

Newly released emails reveal that Acting Commissioner Janet Woodcock was concerned because \u201cstates cannot require mandatory vaccination\u201d without FDA final approval, according to the chief of FDA\u2019s vaccine-review office, Marion Gruber.<\/p>\n
