Reports suggest the FDA aims to grant full approval to the Pfizer vaccine by September 1st, 2021. Dr. Marty Makary claims the delay in full approval is not related to safety data but rather "stability testing" to determine the exact expiration date of the product. This distinction between emergency use authorization and full approval is cited as a major barrier to overcoming vaccine hesitancy.

In a follow-up interview, Senator Rand Paul detailed Dr. Fauci's significant conflict of interest as the head of the agency that approved funding for the Wuhan lab. Paul noted that other scientists are afraid to speak out because Fauci controls the majority of federal research grants. He also cited Dr. Marty Makary's criticism regarding the lack of NIH funding for basic COVID-19 studies, such as mask efficacy in children.
