Wasn't one of the big (supposed) hold-ups for vaccine skeptics that they were just really reluctant to get this totally brand new vaccine before it had full FDA approval? Isn't that one of the reasons they've been eating horse paste?

Well good news, Papaw, you can spit that horse paste right on out your mouth, because the FDA has given full authorization to the two-dose Pfizer vaccine! Until today, it was under an emergency use authorization, which brilliant brain wizards in the anti-vaxxer community thought meant there was some kind of conspiracy, or that it was far less likely to be safe than it is. All of that is BS.

Pfizer's vaccine met the agency's "high standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality," acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock said in a statement. "While millions of people have already safely received COVID-19 vaccines, we recognize that for some, the FDA approval of a vaccine may now instill additional confidence to get vaccinated." [...]

Full approval is "more psychological than anything else," said Dr. Paul Offit, a voting member of the agency's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee. "I mean you already have more than 320 million doses administered that are out there. The vaccines already have an enormous safety and efficacy profile."
