AdvertisementWhat FDA approval means for vaccine hesitancyIf the COVID-19 vaccines are so great, why hasn’t the U.S. Food and Drug Administration formally approved them yet? “The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine that may prevent COVID-19,” one of the warnings states. In addition, courts have been upholding the legitimacy of COVID-19 vaccine mandates even though the shots are merely authorized for emergency use. For groups like these, the lack of FDA approval is not the thing that’s holding them back. And finally, a new study estimates that more than half the country’s coronavirus cases were not counted in the official tally up through early March of this year.
