Older adults and other groups at high risk for severe illness might still be able to get vaccinated, the FDA vaccine chief said Tuesday.
The Food and Drug Administration is planning major changes for how Covid vaccines are rolled out and who will be able to get the updated shots this fall.
In a paper published Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and Dr. Vinay Prasad, the FDA’s new vaccine chief, wrote that any new Covid vaccine now must undergo placebo-controlled clinical trials — meaning, some people would get the actual vaccine while others get an inactive substance like a saline shot, to compare results.
At a planned FDA vaccine panel meeting on Thursday, agency advisor are expected to advise the vaccine makers which strains to target for new shots. The new clinical trial requirement isn’t expected to affect the fall rollout for older adults and other people at high risk for severe illness because drugmakers are exempt from additional testing for those groups.
The FDA announced to today not enough healthy adults and children are dying so we wont protect you.
A spokesperson for the COVID virus stated that the virus is delighted with the decision.
A covid spokesperson jsut confirmed they gifted 47 a new jet
yeah let’s just do our best to have more pandemics with an idiot running the show
My mother is immunocompromised
I myself an on a medication that suppresses my immune system
This is how you radicalize people
This is eugenics. The media refuses to say it, but that’s what it is.
I hope after RFKjr dies he is reincarnated as a non-verbal autistic with his memories who get polio with a mom that treats everything with essential oils.
At this point the administration might as well send out the Proud Boys and KKK and just start clubbing people to death. Decimating the CDC, the brain worm actively waging a war on vaccines, defunding essential programs… It’s insane.
We need a General fucking strike. It can be our own voluntary lock down during cold and flu season.
The FDA doesn’t inherently get to decide what medicines most people can get, your doctor does (and your insurance may determine whether it’s financially realistic). The FDA may influence their decisions, but don’t let them offload your health to a corrupted government organization if you have any choice in the matter.
Also many Americans have a risk factor.
Your doctor
Lots of people can’t afford one of those.
I know there’s no internal logic here but why are they doing this?
I have the freedom to take Ivermectin to cure any disease or the government dictates my medical choices. The vaccine is evil and will make your heart explode but we won’t let liberals take it by choice, even when we cheer for their death. Government shouldn’t tell me how to live except “don’t take this ultra dangerous drug that you’ve had 5 times before with no negative impacts”
Just let liberals be dumbass sheep taking their poison. Why are you stopping them from “killing themselves”?
Is it because the party of “small government” is actually more concerned with what adults do to their bodies?
If it wasn’t for double standards they wouldn’t have any standards at all
They are expecting Covid to decimate cities where people are in the closest proximity. And also where they tend to be liberal and minority.
They are using it as a bio-weapon against their political enemies.
Vaccines are to keep you healthy…
I’m likely visiting my in-laws in Mexico this Christmas; I’ll probably have to get a vaccine there as a fucking tourist.
Lucky. I’d be inquiring about staying.
“any new Covid vaccine now must undergo placebo-controlled clinical trials — meaning, some people would get the actual vaccine while others get an inactive substance like a saline shot, to compare results.”
Is that just for covid or for things like the flu shot too? If it’s across the board, this cold and flu season is going to suuuuUUUUuuuck!
It is, in fact, unethical for a trial to be configured to withhold a known cureative/preventive agent from the so-called “placebo” group.
It is widely recognized you’d be unnecessarily harming them.
It much worse than “suuuuUUUUuuuck!”
