The Biden administration announced last week that it supports waiving intellectual property protections for Covid-19 vaccines in order to address the global shortage. Dr.
Scott Gottlieb, member of the boards of Pfizer and biotech company Illumina and former FDA commissioner, joined "Squawk Box" on Monday to discuss his thoughts on the debate.
ScottGottliebMD Surprisingly lax for you Doc. Let’s wait & see how India & South America resolve
bergerbell ScottGottliebMD Here in Frisco, TX. Went to BestBuy to spend $1,200 today. Told me employees are instructed to literally ignore customers without masks. They did, so I shopped on SamsClub app while in store. Spent $1200. Talked to Mgrs, they understood...but corp in MN. ForgetYourMask
ScottGottliebMD It'd be pretty nice for Pfizer if one of those variants got past the vaccine so they could sell us booster shots for $200 a pop. Oh, you're on the board? Well, then.
jbarro ScottGottliebMD if we even get to 70% vaccinated, that means over 100M unvaccinated people. Think of a country that size with no mask requirements, the cases will grow again.
ScottGottliebMD Hmm some common sense after all
ScottGottliebMD How about we end indoor mask mandates when we hit 80% vaccinated? Give those people sitting on the sidelines refusing to get their shots a real incentive for us to really stamp out this virus here in the US.
ScottGottliebMD But mainly because masks don’t work and they limit our oxygen intake.
ScottGottliebMD lifting indoor mask mandates bc dumb
ScottGottliebMD Here come the liberal whiners per usual. Y’all are vaxxed and can still wear youre masks or stay home right?
ScottGottliebMD Thank you, Scott!
ScottGottliebMD Thanks, but NO thanks. Will wait until we are closer to 70%immunized.

FDA authorizes Pfizer vaccine for 12-15-year-oldsPfizer announced in late March that its clinical trials showed the vaccine was safe and 100% effective in children ages 12-15, similar to the 95% efficacy among adult clinical trial participants. The big question about the vaccines is not their effects, but how long does it last in the long term? Or is it just temporary relief before another wave. These are questions that are never asked. Now before anyone jumps down my throat. I'm not anti-vax. Just don't lie to me Thank God my. Daughter has been waiting to be able to get vaccinated. I'm sure the morons will chime in soon. How's the smallpox? The measles? The mumps? The polio? Where'd they go? And how? Hopefully...it’s safe! We don’t wanna see that in one-two years recipients are starting to have weird complications from it...like Dr. Salk’s lovely polio vaccine did to hundreds and thousands of patients!!😳🤔🤔🤔

Despite FDA approval, some schools say they won't mandate Covid vaccinationsSuperintendents say that middle school students will be encouraged, but not required, to get a Covid vaccine now that the FDA has granted approval. A vaccine for a kid who has basically zero risk from the disease itself is insanity. Mandate? GTFOH. Old people and the vulnerable have gotten their shot or should have by now. They were at risk. Leave the damn kids alone. Good! jdickler You should retract or change this story. The vaccine is not FDA approved for anyone at this time. It is authorized. Language matters!
