It's gonna be fun to see the antivaxxers and Trumpers howl and dance in a few weeks when the vaccines start to come out of EUA. Employers and others will mandate the vaccine and it will be the jab or the axe for many of them, compliance with employer mandates will be in the high 90s. I'm sure a few employers and managers will see it as an opportunity to ditch a few assholes and drop some dead weight. There will be a few fired and indicted over fake POV I imagine.
If they won't eat the carrot, then stick it up their ass.

FDA approval of the Covid-19 vaccine could mean more people will get vaccinated for an unexpected reason
CNN —
Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine is currently only authorized for emergency use in the United States, but its full approval by the US Food and Drug Administration could happen within weeks.
The ramifications could alter the course of the pandemic in several ways.
First, full approval of a Covid-19 vaccine could persuade more people to get vaccinated.
More than 30% of the eligible population in the United States still hasn’t gotten a vaccine.
To qualify for emergency use authorization, Covid-19 vaccine makers submitted about three months of clinical trial data. This included at least 2 months of safety data on fully vaccinated participants, since most vaccine side effects occur 2-3 months after the vaccination.
For some Americans, that hasn’t been enough data to convince them to get the shot.
Full approval of a Covid-19 vaccine requires much more data, including safety and efficacy data generated in the real-world, outside of a clinical trial. The CDC has been tracking real-world data on the vaccines and more than 165 million people in the US are now vaccinated against the virus.
The extra data may help convince more people that the vaccines are not dangerous.
“For some, getting a full FDA approval will help allay that fear. Even if it’s just a relatively small number of people. Every little bit helps against this virus,”
Dr. David Dowdy, an associate professor in the division of infectious disease epidemiology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said.
Three in ten unvaccinated adults said they would be more likely to get vaccinated if one of the vaccines moves to full approval, according to a survey from the
Kaiser Family Foundation.
However, Kaiser cautioned that some people it surveyed were confused about the shots. Two-thirds thought the vaccines already had full approval or they were unsure about it. This finding may just mean that full approval “is a proxy for general safety concerns.”
