The FDA released a report that found Moderna’s Vaccine to show a 94% efficiency rate in successfully inoculating the trial participant. This comes just as the first batch of the recently approved Pfizer vaccines were received at hundreds of hospitals across the country yesterday. Unlike PFizer’s vaccine, despite some testing on teenagers, there was only enough data to consider authorization for adults.

The USA Today reports,

“An independent advisory committee to the FDA will review the data in an all-day meeting Thursday. If the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee decides that the vaccine’s benefits outweigh its risks, then the vaccine is expected to be authorized later in the week by the FDA commissioner.”

…

While the FDA has given Pfizer’s vaccine emergency authorization, and is strongly considering Moderna’s, both companies are expected to apply for full approval at some point — given that longer term data has not been collected. While the vaccine’s have met the constraints imposed by emergency authorization during a crisis, they have not met the standards applied under normal conditions.

Chief Operation Officer of “Operation Warpspeed”, the US private-public partnership initiative to effectively manage the vaccination of COVID-19, said on Monday that the US plans to immediately roll-out almost 6 million doses of the Moderna Vaccine following potential FDA approval.

As observed by the Observer, “There are no major differences in safety or effectiveness identified between these first two vaccines”.

While Pfizer’s was approved for ages 16 and older, Moderna’s will be for 18. In 47 states, there are only enough Pfizer vaccines to cover half of the amount of health-care workers and nursing home residents — so this is being seen as a major way to get past the step of creating immunity among those dealing with the most vulnerable. This is why the Observer so dramatically titled its article, “Moderna’s COVID-19 Vaccine Is About to Change the Game for Americans”..

We are finally progressing and moving on from this stagnant period of this pandemic, which has been full of waiting for our leaders and scientists to tell us that we can start to breath a bit easier, that we can start improving the situation instead of it continuing to deteriorate. However, with all this hope for progress and climbing out of this hole, I think it appropriate to recognize that forcing or coercing vaccinations is not the solution, lest we fall into another hole, one just as dark.
