"The cancellation means that the government is discarding what could be one of the most effective and rapid tools to combat an avian influenza outbreak," said Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, adding that it is the opposite approach Trump took with Operation Warp Speed to combat COVID-19.

Same week FDA stopped recommending covid vaccine to children and pregnant women. RFK really isn't beating the anti-vaxx allegations.

I thought they went beyond simply not recommending and went to straight-up restricting it for those under 65. That said, I think it will still be available to those with "underlying conditions" which is pretty broad (and includes pregnancy) from what I understand, so I'm hoping that will still allow many people to access the vaccines.

One of the vaccine-eligible conditions is depression. Seeing vaccines being chipped away like this sure has made me depressed as of late.

I'm going to side-eye anyone who doesn't feel at least a little depressed these days.

Still plenty of people saying “it’s only 4 years”.

I am not a yank and am unfamiliar with the health system customs of The Burger Reich, but if I am not mistaken it just means that insurance companies won't cover the covid shot since the FDA no longer "recommends" it. You can probably still get the shot but would just have to pay out of pocket? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This is still unconscionable of course, and disproportionately affects the disadvantaged, but I don't think they made it illegal or anything (yet) ?

Bit of a distinction without a difference, depending on the cost

Also you can lie about those broad conditions

I figured as much—it's not like the pharmacist is gonna ask every person for their medical records

At this point, the ruling class aren't really beating the "Nurgle worshipers" allegations either.

Slandering Nurgle's good name

At least nurgle worshippers seem happy about it.
