Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Food and Drug Administration has taken an aggressive stance against mRNA technology.

    How long until a foreign nation takes the lead and leaves us backwards anti-science morons to belly-flop in the dirt?

      I read the story about the FDA rejecting Moderna’s filing, then right after there was one about them signing a new manufacturing agreement with Mexico. Guess those of us in the US that want a vaccine will have to smuggle those across the border too now.

      Moderna has built an mRNA facility here, so here’s hoping our TGA looks at it instead: https://www.invest.vic.gov.au/news-and-events/news/2024/december/moderna-opens-world-leading-vaccine-facility-in-victoria

        The problem is Australia and Canada rubber stamp FDA approval even though they insist they don’t.

          You lob unverified claims without due diligence that foreign governments trust unverified claims without due diligence?

          “Oy, Pot,” said Kettle. But choosing between two federal organizations and one random internet guy lobbing accusations, you know whom I’m choosing, like Every Bleedin’ Time? Hint: It’s gonna be the two orgs with a bunch of pros on-board.

            Aducanumab, Leqembi, Skyclarys, are three recent examples of FDA approved drugs that don’t work. In the case of Aducanumab, the Advisory committee resigned in protest, so the solution for Leqembi was to eliminate the Adcon. These drugs don’t work, and induce brain bleeds and death.

            As for the pros at the FDA…

            But it’s warm and quiet with one’s head up one’s ass.

        What’s the pre-Dotard FDA equivalent I can look to for vaccine certification and advice?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
