Basically it is manufacturing, funding and red tape being the difference, nothing about safety or clinical trials differs.
In software terms, EUA is parallel tracked sprints for clinical trials and manufacturing at same time vs. regular approval is Waterfall where manufacturing occurs after approval.

Now do Covaxin. Seriously: what's the hold-up? Why is the US still blocking this vaccine?
Other countries are entirely free to approve it for their citizens.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Of course, we don't have much info on the long-term health outcomes of getting COVID , either. It's like worrying about the long-term impact of breathing fire extinguisher powder while being engulfed by flames.
The government is not compelling you to get covid.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's also possible that its approval will result in more people getting the vaccine due to those people now having an out from their initial reaction that it was rushed (but still sticking to their convictions up to now in order to avoid embarrassment).
More likely than not, they'll just move the goalposts farther and find a different excuse for not getting it.
Meanwhile in Japan: people living freely their lives with no lockdowns, no forced vaccination, no vaccine pass. Another model is possible but the Western governments are addicted to their power trip.
My biggest concern now is around seeing those who hedged their willingness to get the vaccine on its approval instead find a new reason not to get it. So with that in mind, I'm much more keen on seeing how employers will decide on vaccination mandates now that at least one vaccine is fully approved. Any news yet on whether any more employers are likely implementing mandates (if they haven't already this morning) base…
I guess the US military can now mandate it as they've said they will. Time to see how many of the people posting on social media that they'd rather take a dishonorable discharge will follow through.
Does this have any effect on the exemption from liability for this drug or is that still in effect until 2024? I haven't seen any language on this.
Unrelated to approval status. We handle vaccine injury compensation via a special court and system funded by a tax on vaccine doses so manufacturers don't nope out and threaten the production of vaccines entirely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Childhood_Vaccine_Inj...
After CDC stops updating stats on deaths/hospitalizations from Covid19 among those fully vaccinated against Covid19. As of August 9, net breakthrough deaths stood at 8/million and net breakthrough hospitalizations stood at 35/million, up 900% and 733%, respectively, since April 20. Current numbers: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/bre... Snapshots: https://archive.today/https://www.cdc.gov/vac…
What if it you compare that to a mortality rate of 1.7%? All of a sudden .001 % death rate seems pretty good. What do I know though — this isn’t my area.
I see, you are using this table[1] ... This is the case fatality rate (which is inflated depending on how many infections are never recorded).
Using the numbers provided by the CDC, if we put the cases in the denominator and not the vaccinated population, we have:
Hospitalized or fatal vaccine breakthrough cases reported to CDC 8,054 Deaths† 1,587
†341 (21%) of 1,587 fatal cases reported as asymptomatic or not related to COVID-19.
Now, if the CDC had not stopped reporting the number of infections, we'd have the correct comparison. If we take cases as the cases reported by CDC, we have (1,587 - 341)/8,054 = 15.5% of the cases resulting in death from Covid19 of a person who is fully vaccinated against Covid19.
Why did the CDC stop reporting total breakthrough infections (which would have allowed an apples to apples comparison of CFR here)?

The US doesn't need it. Other countries are entirely free to approve it for their citizens.

I think the focus on a small minority of people who don't want to take a vaccine is unhealthy.
