I will gladly take an FDA approved vaccine like any other for such reasons.
None of the available ones right now are. Yes even Pfizer isn’t as the approved Pfizer vax (Comirnaty) is not the same exact vaccine as the one currently available/being used.
Edit: In short, many of us fear that the regulatory processes that govern our healthcare have been hijacked by corporate interest. We all know this leads to corners being cut as that’s inevitably how businesses are run.
Why do you think specifically this has to do with corporate interests?
Doesn’t Occam’s razor say that it’s just the fact the pandemic is destroying society and there is immense pressure from everywhere to accelerate usually very slow and bureaucratic processes because the risk reward ratio is completely different than the one for a vaccine for more contained diseases?
Yes, this virus is brutal and highly dangerous, which is why we need to do everything we can to stop it, not just somethings that are highly lucrative.
Why hasn’t the news or our medical governance brought up the fact that a small intranasal injection can greatly prevent transmission?
We're having trouble since the beginning of the pandemic getting people to wear a simple cloth mask. You want them to inject stuff up their nose on a regular basis now?
When you say "why isn't x happening" I'd like to invite you to think about what x would look like, in practice, and what it is you actually are expecting.
This has nothing to do with how lucrative it is. Just how practical. Note the author doesn't even say this measure can replace PPE and other preventative measures.. just add to them.
