    The FDA did not refuse Moderna’s flu vaccine because it was unsafe or didn’t work. It declined to review it based on what Moderna compared it to in testing, even though that testing plan had already been discussed with FDA regulators. That is unusual, since new vaccines are normally compared to existing approved ones, and the same application is being reviewed in Europe, Canada, and Australia. This is happening under leadership where Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been openly hostile to mRNA technology.

    From a public health view, fewer vaccine options is a loss. mRNA flu shots are promising because they can be made faster and could improve on today’s often low-effectiveness seasonal vaccines, so declining to review them aligns more with anti-vaccine politics than with expanding tools to fight influenza.

    FDA won’t consider a new mRNA vaccine for flu despite the technology’s life-saving promise | Scientific American

    Golden Era inbound. This is Fauci's old outfit. It is incredible how much the pandemic broke these losers and how much vengeance they carry from imaginary slights.

    This is like discontinuing smoke detectors and fire codes because we want to focus on the housefires we have right now instead of the ones that might happen in the future. Just utter insanity.

    I foresee a major increase in medical/vaccine tourism and those of you who can't afford it, well, tough luck--sucks to be you (and your parents and kids and siblings). At least a billionaire will get to pick up your home for pennies on the dollar at probate.

    RFK is a boy scout compared to Hunter Biden, Bill Clinton, Obama, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein and the rest of the democrat scam party ecosystem.

    The Republican party is more diverse than ever. All the common sense people are gravitating in one direction, and these made up scenario's of white privilege aren't working anymore. Marco Rubio just blew the socks off Europe this weekend and is the front runner for the 28 nomination. The ones who do commit crime get sent to prison like George Santos.

    With democrats, the entire party is one big somalian fraud. When you make crime the norm and actively encourage it, no one gets around to prosecuting it.

    Claiming the democratic party is a big fraud while the leader of the republican party is openly selling pardons on the open market and has made over 4 billion dollars in office is too hilarious. Also hunter Biden had no role in government and Obama didn't sell pardons like your pedophile messiah

    The entire basis of MAGA is they are the party of fighting crime and fraud. That doesn't work when you have the most corrupt president in American history who's made more money than anyone in history.

    Also George Santos isn't in prison cuz your pedophile messiah pardoned him so what a dumbass comment to make

    He's so hellbent on pretending stuff like biodefense and pandemic preparedness don't matter that he's banning the words from even being used? What an ignorant clown of a leader he is.

    Meanwhile, he's wheeling and dealing for pardons and favors for his wealthy friends, talking about his big beautiful ballrooms and big giant arch, his beautiful gold and marble decorations, and other vanity projects. Nothing is more important than putting his name and face on everything. He want to surround himself in luxury and brag about how great he is.

    That guy is the most shallow, narcissistic, and ignorant leader I've ever seen run this country. His mindset is screw all that useless science, research, and talk about global warming, because it's not going to make him wealthier. I've got billionaires and leaders to do tit for tat favors with. I need to focus on doing some tit for tat foreign policy with leaders abroad help me expand my empire.

    RFK Jr.'s CDC just ran an unethical vaccine experiment on African babies to get the data he wanted

    If you haven't seen the Rolling Stone investigation from yesterday, read it. Here's why it matters.

    Kennedy allies at the CDC approved a $1.6 million grant in just 10 days (normal process takes up to a year) to study potential "harms" of the hepatitis B birth dose vaccine on over 14,000 infants in Guinea-Bissau, where 1 in 5 adults already has hepatitis B. Half those babies would be denied a vaccine that's proven for 30+ years to block mother-to-infant transmission.

    The ethics approval they used to justify this? The local committee's US registration had been expired since 2018, they only had 4 members when federal rules require 5, and the approval letter was signed by someone who resigned from the committee 3 years ago and says his name was used without his knowledge.

    No actual CDC scientists reviewed this. It was pushed through by two non-scientists, one of them a 24 year old former DOGE operative.

    Oh, and three weeks after this grant was quietly approved, RFK Jr. dropped the CDC's universal recommendation for the hepatitis B vaccine for American kids. A Stanford infectious disease doctor said it plainly: they funded a study to generate doubt about a vaccine they had already decided to pull back.

    The WHO objected formally. Congress demanded answers. Guinea-Bissau paused the study. The university listed as the grant recipient just opened an ethics investigation.

    Real children are being used as pawns here. This is not a conspiracy theory, there's a document trail.
