An unconfirmed political appointee - who is an antivaxx grifter with no vaccine or immunology experience, or even drug or drug approval experience, …or even clinical trial experience for that matter - is making it impossible for the updated COVID Novavax (the non-mRNA option) vaccine to get approved - ThreadSky

Reposted from Sarah Karlin-Smith

A political official is negotiating the postmarketing commitment w/ Novavax that delayed its COVID vaccine approval, continuing the pattern of highly unusual political involvement w/ the application, per multiple sources familiar with the talks. (h/t to WSJ for initial report on RCT) #healthpolicy

Having an administration that rejects science and dismisses experts is so unstabling. I hope the smallpox samples are safe.

People voted for this, some people approve of this that’s what’s the scariest of all.

What happened to supporting American businesses and innovation? #Hypocrisy

an effective *non-mRNA* shot should be welcomed with open arms

Since #Novavax is #Maryland based, I'm calling this to the attention of @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov and my rep, @repaprildelaney.bsky.social .
Novavax appears to be a better vaccine, w fewer side effects. The FDA is hurting MD's economy as well as patients. Please help!

rjdexmd.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, please go political. It's our only chance against this anti-vax ideology!

Remember when they pretended they didn't want the vaccine because it was "gene therapy"?

dsanger.bsky.social•2 days ago

Novavax was the only Covid vaccine that didn’t cause me an autoimmune flare. I absolutely hate this government right now.

It also appears to be the one where immunity persists the longest and adapts best to new variants. Clearly not desirable by incumbent Covid-19 vaccines Pharma

They’re all pretty good. This one was better hit also takes longer to develop new versions of.

They just want everyone who can’t fly out of country for medical care to die.

I'm trying the same in Ontario.

razmetaz.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is going to kill people. This is the only vaccine I can tolerate, and New Zealand only approves USA approved vaccines. If I can't get novavax I'm in deep trouble

rjdexmd.bsky.social•1 day ago

I get it. I am in the same situation.

Unfortunately, the Covid vaccines don't prevent infection. But having nothing is still worse.

alisonpalk.bsky.social•1 day ago

It reduces the risk of getting infected, like virtually all vaccines

lmh82.bsky.social•2 days ago

I have a good friend who is a double organ transplant recipient, and he can only get Novavax as well. It will be detrimental to so many.

I think most PMR docs offer that?
Everyone I see has.
Seems they have CEU in it?
Insurance does not pay.
It gets dropped when they have to update credentials...
Is what I have noticed...

"Read the full article – start your free trial today!"

This is a big part of the problem.

nerita99.bsky.social•2 days ago

And journalists working for free with no income would improve the quality of reporting how exactly?

dangandblast.bsky.social•2 days ago

Accurate information available to those with means and desire to pay for it, and rw conspiracy/"news" pages freely available to all isn't an optimal situation either.
