Turmoil at the FDA Threatens Biotech Recovery Unexpected delays, infighting and a staffing crisis are fueling investors’ unease.

My trust is not being restored

Prasad previously demanded open debate and discussion.

Now he’s meeting behind closed does with biotech investors and dodging the press.

In fall 2021 Bhattacharya aid we should treat covid as 1 of 200 diseases.

He is still tweeting about lockdowns *today* even though he is also NIH director.

FIRST OPINION At a time when the U.S. needed Covid-19 dialogue between scientists, Francis Collins moved to shut it down By Vinay Prasad Dec. 23, 2021

Collins's response to a memo signed by thousands of scientists should not devastating take down, but to use his pulpit been to call for an immediate and discussions and dialogues. In a world

Prasad demanded the previous medical establishment hold a series of public debates and dialogues.

I am making the same demand of him now that he is the medical establishment.

This is his safe space.

He spent years sending out an endless stream of such content, ignoring what Covid did in the real world.

Now, he is ignoring his job at the NIH, trying to relieve the glory days of 2020.

The third issue is the tiny absolute increase in risk. An excess of 12,000 deaths sounds bad, but Professor Don Boudreaux, from George Mason University, has noted that there are nearly 88 million people in this age group. Thus, the individual risk for a person this age is found by dividing 4,560 (the number dead from COVIDig in this study) by 88 million. This equates to a 0.0052% risk of dying from COVIDı9.

In December 2020, “medical conservatives” saw that Covid had killed 4500 young adults in the pandemics first few months.

Here’s what they had to say.

Let’s apply this logic to whatever Prasad produces Ok.

Let’s divide the number by 88 million.

YouTube video by Jonathan Howard 2/2021: Months before a vaccine for kids existed, Vinay Prasad gives reasons not to give one,

Prasad opposed the pediatric covid vaccine in February 2021, before delta, before Omicron, and before there was any data at all about the kids vaccine.

None of that mattered to him.

He never wavered.

He is not an unbiased or reliable person today.

Just watch.

Why The Hepatitis B Birth Dose Is At Risk From New CDC Vaccine Advisors New members of the CDC vax advisory committee (ACIP) are opposed to newborn Hepatitis B vaccine, believing them not needed for most, and dangerous. Data contradicts that.

New post: The Hepatitis B vaccine is at risk from the new CDC advisory committee members. Here's why.

Leslie Lee III, culture critic and Long COVID advocate, dies at 43 - The Sick Times Leslie Lee III, an educator, critic, and Long COVID advocate, died on November 10. He was 43.

What a beautiful tribute to Leslie Lee. We lost a great one. thesicktimes.org/2025/12/04/l...

This time last year Kennedy was showing “Vaxxed III Authorized to Kill.”

That’s why his political appointees should not be trusted when they claim that’s what vaccines do.

I am not sure I can handle transparency this radical.

Overhyping Vaccines Wasn’t Pro-Vaccine. It Was Pro-Stop-Worrying-About-COVID. Overselling the vaccine in 2021 was not being pro-vaccine.  It was pro-stop-worrying-about-the pandemic, from the doctors who assured us herd immunity was imminent.

Before they turned against it, our FDA leaders massively overhyped the vaccine.

Ideology over evidence, every time.

Shocking that he doesn't seem to be delivering neutral, unbiased data we all can trust.

An ACIP member reports that they received 3 versions of the votes in past 72 hours, committee now on break because CDC presenter is having to deal with making sure slides align w current vote language, which seems not to be what she was last given. Once again, the committee has devolved into chaos.

Meissner makes a motion to postpone all votes on the HBV vaccine birth dose until tomorrow because no one understands the actual text of the vote.

Seconded by Hibbeln.

They called Prasad’s analysis “a huge exaggeration.” Some of the deaths were rated as “‘possibly related,’ which is very far” from a causal relationship, the person said.

He's not alone in that regards.

Next liaison, Jason Goldman of American College of Physicians who speaks "you are wasting taxpayer dollars by not having scientific rigorous discussion on issues that truly matter. The best thing you can do is adjourn the meeting."

This guy misses 2020 soooooo badly.

He helped elevate all these guys.

That’s his legacy.

He helped create all this. He owns it.

My trust is not restored.

A Threat to Evidence-Based Vaccine Policy and Public Health Security at the FDA | NEJM Twelve former commissioners of the FDA express concern that the agency’s recent moves will undermine a regulatory model designed to ensure vaccine safety, effectiveness, and availability.

This is extraordinary. Prasad's memo was something else, but to have 12 former FDA commissioners get together so quickly and say what a threat it is...just wow. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... #medsky #vaccine #fda
