This morning, the FDA reversed course. It will now review Moderna's flu vaccine.
The FDA's decisions have become far less predictable, but one thing has been constant: vaccine head Vinay Prasad has always chosen the most attention-grabbing action he can.

The FDA’s Moderna pirouette is one more sign of chaos at the agency
For drugmakers and vaccine developers, an FDA reversal on Moderna's flu vaccine is better than the alternative. But it is also another sign of agency chaos.

The fact that Talerico has gotten more press for the FCC and CBS preventing his interview from airing than he would have ever gotten if they had aired the interview has made me smile all day.
And the fact that he totally crushed (most of) the interview is even better.

I regularly think about Steve Ballmer talking about how his wealth is up 10x from holding onto Microsoft stock which he doesn’t sell to avoid taxes.
So his wealth just sits there growing and he donates his dividends/interest which is now up to $1B a year.
Life changing wealth just sitting there.

Because I'm not sure it nails a Harvard law graduate who taught con law for 25 years before becoming a congressman who's now the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee -- and, um, likely its next chair?

Five years after the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines started, it seems the mystery of why the Astra-Zeneca and J&J vaccines led to a rare but deadly side effect of unusual blood clots and bleeding has finally been solved.
It's a fascinating case of molecular mimicry that may help make vaccine safer.🧪

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.

What happened in November 2024 was one of the great acts of collective stupidity in American history—and the almost hourly reminders of just how catastrophic it was make me wonder if there’s anything that can even be “recovered” (whatever that may mean) or if America is just permanently fucked.
