Against all evidence to the contrary RFK sets back vaccine research and impoverishes Americans defence against pandemics- another asault on evidence science.

RFK Jr announces US is scrapping $500m of vaccine projects

"I don't think I've seen a more dangerous decision in public health in my 50 years in the business," said one health expert.

How new medicines can be made safer by sacking the very people that ensure medicines are safe is the antithesis of being smart

The clearing out of #FDA leadership is extraordinary. So many people gone, so few replacements (even acting) named. www.statnews.com/2025/04/03/f...

#FDA "as we know it is finished.... I believe that history will see this as a huge mistake." — @robcaliff.bsky.social, former agency director, says of the sweeping cuts leveled today at #HHS & its agencies. www.statnews.com/2025/04/01/h...

MUST READ ‼️ Our ED Mitchell Warren told @apoorvanyt.bsky.social, "One of the biggest tragedies in all of this would be if we let this narrative be written entirely by people who don’t understand science or health care or research or foreign assistance." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/h...

Unbelievably short sighted

The cessation of a lot of US foreign aid will have enormous consequences on the health of the world's people for years to come. The abrupt, no-notice nature of that move took the devastation next level. www.statnews.com/2025/03/19/t...

This is what we mean when we say the regime is censuring science. “CDC staff should not be co-authors on manuscripts/abstracts with WHO staff,” nor publish papers on work "funded by WHO.” www.huffingtonpost.c...

#HHS has canceled the March meeting of outside experts who were to advise #FDA on what next winter's #flu shots should target. The irony of this: Canceling #VRBPAC makes the US more reliant on the WHO-led strain selection process. www.statnews.com/2025/02/26/f...

FDA cancels vaccine advisory committee meeting

The advisory committee meeting is a critical resource for vaccine makers trying to figure out which flu strains to include in their shots for the next flu season.

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...
