Many here would absolutely not believe the FDA.
We just have to look back to October to see this.

I am thrilled that the vaccine is working as promised, but to say that we should curtail full study is very scary. We can’t rush science. Honestly, although I think it was worth the risk, what will happen if one year from now we start seeing horrific side effects?

I’m fully vaccinated, and I don’t fear the future, but honestly we are rushing a new technology, this isn’t the regular tried and true vaccine, so I hope the studies continue.

Full approval won't change anything. tymorial May 2021 #5
