@bloomberg.com reports that a top advisor to RFK Jr. said they're considering adding autism symptoms to the federal vaccine court program. Read my story for @nbcnews.com on how that could bring a halt to vaccine manufacturing in the U.S.
www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

RFK Jr. has the federal vaccine court in his sights. Attacking it could threaten vaccine production in the U.S.

The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program created a special court for vaccine-related injuries. Kennedy has called it “broken” and vows to “fix it.”

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

The announcement of health insurance companies that they’ll continue covering routine vaccinations is a huge vote of no confidence in ACIP's recommendations. It reflects a desire by insurers to avoid the cost of illnesses by having their customers vaccinated.

There are 18 million cancer survivors in the U.S. That’s 6x more than there were 50 years ago, thanks to decades of progress driven in large part by federally funded research. We can’t go back.
