CIDRAP Op-Ed: The FDA refused to review a flu vaccine, contrary to evidence. Now the agency reversed itself

@jakescottMD

The latest reversal is welcome, but the episode of first denying Moderna review of its mRNA flu vaccine deserves close examination

ICE drawdown? Indications point to steady enforcement activity outside the Twin Cities Some people who observe ICE activity are skeptical about a large scale drawdown of agents in the state. There are indications that activity has decreased in the Twin Cities, but has continued outside ...

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

“A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

FDA issues new guidance on antibiotic use in food-producing animals

The guidance describes how veterinary drug makers can add duration limits for medically important antibiotics used in livestock, but critics say it doesn't go far enough.

Wow.

The Brueggers Bagels down the block from my house plays Missing Persons' "Destination Unknown" at approximately 8:36am every morning, as far as a I can tell.

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.

Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

How do you personally use AI? For research?

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

I've now read two articles about Clavicular and want to go live in the woods for the rest of my life.

That sentence tripped me up too.

“The overall message is that COVID-19 continues to cause significant disease in pregnant women and in very young children,” Hopkins said. “If I had to balance the risk between getting the vaccine or getting COVID, I would strongly recommend the vaccine.”

Minnesota health officials warn of sexually transmitted fungal infection outbreak

Lots of emotions and questions following Homan's announcement. But the thing I keep coming back to is this:

We cannot go back. We must take this moment, reflect on the power we discovered, and build a city that is stronger, more caring, and more connected.

A city that can do this can do anything.

I think about this all the time. Wasn't he the face of the media panic over "gangsta rap"?

Kind of. He was on one of the Sunday morning talk shows and gave the most vocal support for the MMR vaccine that's come from the administration to date—but that's a low bar. He also said he was in favor of the changes made to childhood vaccine recommendations.

The Rutles!

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

FDA reverses course, refuses to review Moderna’s application for new mRNA flu vaccine

The company expressed surprise and confusion about the decision, noting the FDA’s earlier support for the study plan.

Study finds no link between COVID-19 vaccines and autism

A new study finds no increase in autism rates in babies born to mothers who received COVID-19 vaccines just before or during pregnancy, compared with children of unvaccinated moms.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Oh thank god.

Curbes Lurb? Cayden Aiden? I feel like I'm having a stroke.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained.

She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families.

She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/
