The Trump administration will move to pull the COVID vaccine off the U.S. market “within months,” one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s closest associates has told the Daily Beast.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist who has repeatedly claimed in the face of scientific consensus that the vaccines are more dangerous than the virus, told the Daily Beast that Kennedy’s stance is shared by “influential” members of President Donald Trump’s family.

JFC.

WTF
 
Hope this is not true but it will not surprise me. I will 100% leave my career in healthcare if these vaccines are banned.
 
Saw a comment that the pharmaceutical industry will pay him tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars to reverse action on this and believe that’s the most likely outcome.
 
Couldn't happen, I don't think. The FDA would need to make a finding, based on substantial evidence, that the vaccines no longer meet the criteria for safe and effective. No such evidence exists, and so the finding would be more or less immediately invalidated.

To its credit, SCOTUS as a whole is very much not anti-vaccine. The amount of credit I would assign is perhaps a thimble of sand on a beach, but I suppose it's non-zero.
 
I do wonder if this was why Vinay Prasad was brought back so quickly after initially “leaving to spend more time with his family” after Laura Loomer dug up some pro-Bernie tweets.

FDA (reportedly at the behest of Prasad) pressured the manufacturer to pull Elevidys, a gene therapy for muscular dystrophy that was approved on shaky grounds but with fierce support from patients and their families.


They reversed the decision about two weeks later after much negative press and further advocacy from patients and families:


He’s most notable for being a vocal critic of the COVID vaccine and the broader response to the pandemic. And he’s already published recommendations for the design of research for new COVID vaccines, so I could see him using that as justification for pulling the approval. For me it means lots of long, boring meetings about what to do for our clinical trials. We’ll see.
 
We are witnessing how the conservative push that "all sides need to be addressed" strangles critical thought.

Once again, the hypocrisy and shallowness of their "thought" is transparent. They must get rid of of diversity, DEI, etc., yet we must be more diverse to accept their crackpot theories as legitimate science or worthy of discussion.
 
The CDC advisory committee on immunization practices (ACIP) meeting will happen Thursday and Friday. Thursday’s discussion will be on hepatitis B and MMRV vaccines, with Friday dedicated to COVID. This committee is now stacked with committed vaccination critics as posted above.

The discussion of the COVID vaccinations on Friday will be led by Retsef Levi, who is a professor of operations management at MIT and previously said that COVID vaccination programs should be stopped due to "mounting and indisputable evidence that they cause unprecedented levels of harm, including the death of young people and children."


There is a presentation scheduled on “Additional COVID-19 vaccine safety” with no other information provided. It’s thought that this will be case reports linking vaccination to death in children.


I posted this in the other thread, but if FDA had a credible signal of causation between COVID vaccination and death, they can add a warning or contraindication to the label. They don’t need ACIP for any of that. This is just grandstanding for the anti-vax true believers.
 


“…
The recommendation — if cleared by acting CDC Director Jim O’Neill — narrows the agency’s earlier stance, which called for the shot to be offered to everyone 6 months and older.

The panel chose not to take a vote on whether to recommend the shot for pregnant women, deferring the decision to CDC officials, Retsef Levi, a member of the advisory committee, said during the meeting.

Friday’s recommendation aligns with the Food and Drug Administration’s approval in August, which cleared the shots for people 65 and up and those with underlying health conditions. Over the last few weeks, people in some states have reported frustration in getting access to the shots, as pharmacies awaited official guidance from the CDC’s advisory committee…”
 
I was able to get the pfizer COVID vaccine on Monday - didn't feel great yesterday but so far today I feel fine
Did you get one that protects against the most recent variants. Think there was talk about difficulty getting the most up to date. Or I am misremembering ha. Where were you able to get it?

Definitely want to get my yearly flu and covid vax with whatever hoops I’ll need to jump through.
