I can't keep up with all of the b.s. coming out of RFK's Department of "Health" and Human Services. He said yesterday that the Biden administration was responsible for child trafficking, blabbed about the MMR vaccine containing aborted fetus debris, and now there's a new report lying about transgender treatments. I'm sure there have been seven other things in the past week I'm not mentioning.
But the thing I wanted to call attention to was the news from a few days ago that his FDA plans to require new clinical trials for the Novavax covid vaccine with each update. Novavax is the one covid vaccine that is not based on mRNA technology, which the vaccine fear-mongers supposedly had no problem with, and updates are the equivalent of an annual flu vaccine change. Such vaccines have not required new trials in the past.
The former vaccine chief for FDA said there's no reason to do this, and if it became a requirement, "you'd always be doing clinical trials and you'd never have a vaccine that was up to date."
Which, one assumes, is likely the point of the requirement from RFK and the Trump administration: to undermine vaccine efficacy and faith in vaccines.
Over on Science-Based Medicine, Dr. Jonathan Howard wrote a scathing post about the same topic, pointing out that the new head of FDA, Dr. Martin Makary, was a fan of Novavax, but now that he's in the Trump administration, he no longer is. And that while he and his compatriots working with RFK claim to want the "gold standard of science" (random, controlled trials), they really just want to support their predetermined results... which sounds a lot like RFK's announcement about autism.
Big shock.
