How can they grant that when Pfizer's clinical trials are ongoing through May 2, 2023? Way to make FDA approval political rather than based on, you know, science and clinical trials.

FDA has been political way before these vaccines were submitted for approval. This approval is probably going to help speed up the approval process for other mRNA vaccines in the future.

Fantastic news for Moderna shareholders since they have failed clinical trials on every single other mRNA product they ever attempted to bring to market. Kind of hilarious though that the company that specializes in mRNA doesn't get the first FDA approval for an mRNA product too.

Edited

So, basically nothing changed?

Edit: Oh, basically they're saying the existing Pfizer vaccine is still under the EUA. COMIRNATY (the same fucking thing rebranded) is what has received approval for people 16+. COMIRNATY is covered under the EUA for kids 12-15 because it's not approved for them.
