FDA withdraws publication of COVID, shingles vaccine research findings :wow:

[riversedge]

Trump found his puppy when he appointed rfk jr.

Additionally, health officials say COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective following clinical trials that involved tens of thousands of people, and have since helped save millions of lives.
The CDC has also stated that the shingles vaccine is safe

...............
Both before and since taking office, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has widely sown doubt in the safety and efficacy of several vaccines.

...............................






However, COVID vaccines are among the most studied vaccines in history, with large clinical studies showing the health benefits far exceed any potential risks.

............
The CDC has also stated that the shingles vaccine is safe and "not associated with serious adverse events."

Dr. Fiona Havers, a former CDC official who worked on vaccine policy and led the CDC's tracking of hospitalizations from COVID-19 and RSV, said in a statement to ABC News, “HHS leaders now have a clear pattern of blocking high-quality studies that include results that don’t support their overall anti-vaccine narrative.

"This censorship of taxpayer-funded science is extremely concerning,” Havers added....................................

1. What's up ?

The research scientific report narrative does not align with their bullshit stories? Is that the problem ? So they nix it. It might be best if this crew does not involve themselves in and stays clear of the Havanta Virus problemo. So the issue can be be addressed by experts - to head off another world pandemic - caused by these Team tr-HUMP assholes.

2. what is/was their response to the human papilloma vaccine...

(i think i gave that right)

the one that hopefully saves young women from future cancers?

The more evidence we get of what’s possible with mRNA vaccines, the more we’re reminded of the administration’s drastic mistake.

For those eager for news about potential medical breakthroughs, there have been some encouraging headlines lately. Last month, for example, NBC News reported on an mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine that’s shown promise in an early trial. More research is needed, but as the report added, “nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.”

Less than a month later, the public received another round of good news directly related to mRNA research. NBC News also reported last week:

Messenger RNA technology, or mRNA, is widely seen as a promising way to improve the effectiveness of flu shots, partly because it can be updated more quickly to match circulating strains.

New results published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine found Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine gave more protection against illness than the standard flu shot in a Phase 3 clinical trial.

The report quoted Dorit Reiss, a vaccine policy expert at the University of California Law San Francisco, who said, “These are strong results, and would likely make it hard for the FDA to refuse in a way that withstands arbitrary and capricious review.”....

Dr. Jerome Adams, who served as the surgeon general during Trump’s first term, added via social media, “I’ve tried to be objective & non-alarmist in response to current HHS actions — but quite frankly this move is going to cost lives.”

The president tried to defend the shift, but he failed. Kennedy tried, too, and he fared about as well. When Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Trump’s handpicked director of the National Institutes of Health and acting head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post making his best case, it collapsed rather quickly.

The more the public is confronted with evidence of what’s possible with mRNA vaccines, the more we’re reminded of how drastic a mistake the administration made and why it remains incumbent on Team Trump to reverse course.
