They did testing and OK, the FDA has not approved them.
I would like to make you aware of another data point about FDA
approval. There was a Japanese company called Showa Denko what
was using genetically modified bacteria to create a bacteria that
would produce the protein L-tryptophan at a greater rate.
FDA gave it the OK, without doing testing, and to this day they
allow any genetically modified plant, animal or bacteria to be OK'ed
under the guideline as GRAS, generally recognized as safe, because
these products appear to be the same as say, a tomato, or rice kernel.
The problem is that scientists, even now, do not understand the fullness
of how DNA works, and how modifications can change the cells. The
modification procedure can trigger production of very small amounts
of proteins that can kill people, and that is what was happening around
the world with Showa Denko's L-tryptophan.
Showa Denko had I think it was 5 variants developed creating more
L-tryptophan over time, and the cases reported of this poisoning increased.
They found out what it was that was the problem, and it was this ....
they wanted to call it an impurity in the manufacturing process, but
what it really was was a defect in their genetic modification process and
a failure to test. The FDA still does not test genetic modified organisms.
So, first, the FDA is not all that. And second, they know to test the things
that are important now and can proceed faster more safely. I took the
vaccine, and the place I was in had thousands of people moving though
it in a day. Allergic reactions were looked for by keeping people under
observation before they could leave, and if people had allergies to certain
things they kept them longer.
In my opinion you are blowing up that line, not approved by the FDA
far more than sensible, because the FDA's process is imperfect, and maybe
even could be called corrupt. One meeting of FDA heads had one of the
speakers basically saying that testing costs too much and takes too long
so if we want to be the leaders in the genetic engineering field we need
to accept that fact that we are guinea pigs.
So ... the bottom line for me is that it is up to the individual to decide to
be vaccinated or not. I believe the process and the testing done so far,
in my understanding and research is safe, combined with what I have
seen and heard from other people, and what is reported on the news.
I would urge people who are anxious about it to bite the bullet and go
get vaccinated if you have no allergies or big medical issues, but even
if you do, assuming the threat from a vaccine is close to the threat from Covid-19 doesn't makes logical sense to me.

You asked for links on the subject at hand and I provided.
Each manufacturer claims that the benefits and risks of their vaccine are unknown because they are still in clinical trials. I believe that is pertinent information for recipients, so that they can make an informed decision on what is actually being done to their bodies.
I personally do not wish to be a guinea pig for a medical experiment.
Side note: I found it creepy that Walmart was offering them like a deal of the day. I felt like I was in a dark sci-fi comedy listening to the overhead announcement whilst pushing my squeaky shopping cart down the peanut butter aisle.

OK, I weighed my risk and took it. Thanks for the links. I heard people saying this but no one can prove it. Still for me it seemed like a good idea.
