The FDA cancelled an upcoming meeting of experts scheduled to discuss next year’s flu shots, stoking fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

Those experts should meet anyway and publicize their opinions. But in this country now, under this current “regime,” they may be too intimidated to do so, fearing career ending backlash, or worse. WHAT HAVE WE COME TO? WHERE ARE WE HEADED?
'Everyone' will die sometime. Allowing 'anyone' to die unnecessarily is where to draw a line. It just seems a bit of a feint line when the wealthy are allowed to decide.
When they decide 'for' us, despite every federal employee allegedly working for us too.
Apparently there is a measles epidemic in an American state!
You know that if you are not vaccinated you can die! What is the point of killing its population ?
It this is true, it is criminal and will, not just could, it will lead to many deaths in the US population, especially among the elderly and among people with underlying health issues.
The fact that this can happen kinda shows the weakness in your system :(
The country is being run by unqualified idiots and no one seems capable of stopping it
Something tells me all of these assholes in the admin will have access to a flu shot next year, but will leave all of those in the US public in the hands of fate for making it thru the flu season. My prediction, next year will be the worst in decades for flu hospitalizations and deaths.
Remind these people WHO they work for & WHO pays them. IF they work for Elon & Trump, get a paycheck from them. Oh wait, Trump & Elon paid by taxpayers too!

Pregnant women, the immune compromised, and infants are the most vulnerable. Anti-vaxx parents are guilty of child endangerment, and RFK jr and his ban did lying profiting anti-vaxx conspiracy theorists should be held accountable as well.
These meetings help determine what specific variants are targeted in this year’s flu vaccine, partly based on data from the southern hemisphere, as well as other inputs. They are critical to advise manufacturers so we have sufficient supply in time for flu season. I guess we’ll rely on Europe.
I get that officials have sovereign immunity, but there is a bad faith exception to this. Can he not be sued based on this? He testified he would take no actions to hinder or dissuade anyone from getting vaccinated.
It’s not just that RFK will sow doubts but that he will make vaccine updates for flu and Covid and and new pandemic unavailable by not granting regulatory approval.

"Fears"?
Kennedy's literally doing that. It's not a possibility, it's a fact. He's quite proud of it.
