I promised 4 things:
1. to end covid vaccine mandates.
2. to keep vaccines available to people who want them, especially the vulnerable.
3. to demand placebo-controlled trials from companies.
4. to end the emergency.
In a series of FDA actions today we accomplished all four goals. The emergency use authorizations for Covid vaccines, once used to justify broad mandates on the general public during the Biden administration, are now rescinded.
FDA has now issued marketing authorization for those at higher risk: Moderna (6+ months), Pfizer (5+), and Novavax (12+).
These vaccines are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors.

All childhood vaccines in question after first meeting of RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel Overall, the meeting was packed with anti-vaccine talking points and arguments.

When nightmares come true and they are exactly as you would expect... I'm just glad clowns don't haunt my dreams or this story would really hit home.

HERE WE GO AGAIN: Mike Lee is back with another attempt at a public lands heist. His new language in the Senate budget bill would open up over a million acres of BLM land around Arches, Zion, Organ Pipe and even the Grand Canyon to permanent "disposal."

Gain of Fiction: How COVID Origins Motivated Defunding of U.S. Science | Think Global Health Defunding scientific research in the United States has halted disease cure studies amid multiple infectious crises

She interrogates the lab leak theory, unpacks research on the natural origins of SARS-CoV-2, and explains how removing support for disease cure research is risky amid multiple infectious crises, such as measles, whooping cough, and bird flu.

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist The Trump administration’s β€œMake America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.

Seven of the sources cited in MAHA commission's report do not exist:

Some arriving in field offices are finding a dire situation: No more paper, no more printers, and no ability to shred documents, pay phone bills or hire foreign-language interpreters, according to interviews with half a dozen staffers spread across the country. That’s because DOGE reduced federal spending cards to $1 and declared that one of less than a dozen people must sign off on purchases for all 1,300 field offices, leaving few able to replenish basic office supplies or pay for other needs.

β€œSome vendors are refusing service until they’re paid for past services provided,” one staffer said. β€œThings break and there’s no money to replace furniture.” Frustrated employees have begun paying out of their own pockets for everything from pens to β€” in one Northeastern office β€” a refrigerator.

DOGE is red tape.
It is putting spending in such a bottleneck that SSA employees are unable to cover the cost of basic administrative tools.

We can't remain indifferent to suffering: Catholic Church now champions HPV vaccination From opposition to advocacy: After dismissing vaccine over promiscuity fears, church now tells faithful early intervention saves lives

This is such an important shift. For many years the catholic church withheld support for HPV vaccination which prevents cervical cancer.
119,000 women die from this cancer in Africa every year.
This full throated support of the HPV vaxx by the church will help uptake.

WHO’s expert group on COVID vaccine composition (TAG-CO-VAC) recommends monovalent vaccines targeting the JN.1 or KP.2 lineages ( last year's boosters). LP.8.1 is also a viable alternative -these strains better match what’s currently circulating.

Kennedy sidesteps vaccine questions: β€˜I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me’ The health secretary appeared before the House Appropriations Committee this morning. This afternoon he'll go before the Senate's Health, Labor, Education and Pensions committee.

Finally I agree with RFK Jr. about something. I don't think anyone should be taking medical advice from him either.

So why is he the Secretary of Health?

State budget cuts all funding for trails in Indiana A change in Indiana’s state budget could have serious consequences for outdoor recreation and community connectivity across the state.

Indiana’s trails are an excellent part of our state and an investment in our future. The Republican budget completely defunds these greenways while giving massive handouts to the wealthiest.
