The fascists want people to die off. It's part of their master-race/eugenics program. Nothing they do makes sense as an attempt to help regular people, but a lot of it makes sense if the goal is to cull the population.

    It took about a year of countering my mom's, "what they're doing makes no sense," with, "it makes sense when their goal is to hurt people," before she admitted I'm right.

    She knew I was right the whole time, she just didn't want to admit it.

    The FDA is completely corrupt. Media buried a story in December where George Tidmarsh, second in charge behind Prasad, was the subject of a lawsuit by a Canadian pharma for solicitation of bribes for approvals. FDA quietly fired Tidmarsh, but there have been some BIZARRE clinical trial schemes approved by FDA in the last year. This includes trials without controls.

    All this will end in either drugs that do nothing, or drugs that kill.

    FDA refuses to review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine

    That alone makes the Moderna mRNA flu vaccine trustworthy.

    Anything the FDA says or does - or doesn't do, assume it's not good for your health.

    I mean really, as a scientist in the general field, we need more review and analysis of mRNA vaccines. While it sucks to say, there is some validity to the concerns surrounding mRNA vaccines as their uptake mechanism needs fine tuning. Subtle errors with administration can lead to myocarditis, as the heart uptakes some and produces the viral proteins on it's surface. This results in the immune system attacking the heart and boom, myocarditis. So while it's not the 100% safe molecules requiring mercury to function as intended (drastically different than the hazardous molecular structures with mercury), due to the speed it was pushed through testing, there are still a few things we need to iron out. For mRNA vaccines to work as well as the other fully safe vaccines we've used to massively increase our average life span, we need to learn how to alter the nano-lipids and make them more selective to which cells uptake them. While the anti-vaxers see this as a win, it's impeding the research needed to be able to fix one of the very few things they actually had correct.

    Moderna noted that neither the FDA’s regulation nor its guidance to industry makes any reference to a requirement of the “best-available standard of care” in comparators.

    But shouldn't they at least pretend that the new drug is better than the currently available options? Otherwise what's the point of making it?

    edit: It's like Intel comparing their new CPUs with their last generation instead of what their competitors offer today.

    It's about knowing your audience and phrasing things in a way to increase the likelihood of acceptance. So despite the FDA reviewing and accepting the trial design in April '24 and August '25, plus the trial demonstrating the vaccine to be more effective than the currently available vaccines, I'd bet my last dollar they phrased it like this just for RFK and friends...

    I guess the FDA will instead recommend keto and vitamin therapies instead...

    The FDA used to be the good standard for medical safety in the world. Yet another institution completely ruined by the morons. And yet another bit of US soft power gone.

    The FDA has always stood against progress, it's the main reason it takes nearly 20 years to go from research to practice.

    I’d rather they stand against progress when progress can sometimes kill you. 20 years for long term research into compounds isn’t horrible. Some things take that long to figure out they are causing issues.
