While this is undoubtedly what many have been waiting for, many believe that the process was rushed as it took less than a year to get full approval, and that there may have been political motives involved.
As the tweet suggests, it could pave the way for new vaccine mandates around the country. Authorities will say you have no excuse for getting it now that it has full approval.
But even so, some on the right see this as excellent news:
Excellent news! #GetVaccinated https://t.co/rlW0roF3LH

I truly Houck is right about this. By my skeptical side has doubts.
