People aged 65 and older are at significantly higher risk for severe flu complications, hospitalizations, and deaths. The overwhelming majority of flu-related deaths and hospitalizations occur in this age group.
Big Pharma will still make flu vaccines. However the committee here that meets to discuss which variances was cancelled. And they are not at the WHO meeting. So WHO will decide without the American Scientists. This is CRAZY BAD. I would like to see how MAGA spins this. RFK is going to kill Americans
Well, if the government stops coordinating seasonal flu vaccines, we'll probably see more kids + elderly people die each year.
If the federal government doesn't actually outlaw flu vaccines then private companies will step up. Vaccine costs would go up. Lower-income people would be vaccinated less.
That's not a question I could answer, but if I had to take a stab at it: funding, and then it will require FDA approval to bring to market. Most major medical advancements in the US have been done on grant funding.
So is the plan here just to “thin the herd” of elderly/vulnerable people so social safety net costs come down? Because it’s hard to come up with much else, tbh.
Wait, what? Do not tell me that no states will have vaccines? Can states do their own vaccines or the ones who want them get together. I have compromised lungs and have to avoid Covid, RSV, and anything respiratory.
I have a daughter with asthma who gets the flu vaccine every year because it is dangerous for her to get the flu. Like what is WRONG with these people.

As though this isn't disturbing and dangerous, when you factor in what I learned in the 🧵 below, then it's potentially catastrophic: Raise your hand if you want the seasonal flu, unmitigated by a flu vaccine, to become a hybrid version of it and H5N1.
Anyone?
Every year human experience has shown this process to save lives. The only practical conclusion that can be made from this - and so many other actions taken - is they want people to die. Measles, wide spread flu, closing hospitals in rural areas, lack of health insurance . . .
Yes. If you're not producing value for the rich, they want you dead and out if the way. President Musk has said so by calling social-program recipients "the parasite class."
Susan is, as usually, concerned. But, seriously, how are we going to know which vaccines are effective and safe or whether they’ll be available in pharmacies? We’re clearly on our own. In my 73 years, I’ve never seen such blatant, unmitigated corruption and malice in our government.
RFK has stopped US from working on fall’s flu shot; has stopped work on COVID pill (more expected to take a pill instead of a shot) as well as no PR campaigns encouraging and promoting getting vaccinated for the various diseases and then of course there is the measles crap already killing kids
Told ya all RFKjr is part of musk/djts agenda to kill as many Americans as they can as quickly as they can. RFK jr is in charge of killing American children’s

trump voters don’t believe us and are, evidently, willing to sacrifice their children in order to prove we’re all wrong 🤦🏻♀️
I picked up some a prescription a few days ago and the pharmacist let me know all of the vaccines I was eligible for. I felt like the message was "get them while you still can"
I keep watching and re-watching Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl half time performance. I'm escaping into a place of order, precision, cooperation, clear messaging, and truth. Can't RFKJr be more like Kdot?
Terrifying. Wondering if I should get another one now even though not specific to anything new since my last flu shot last September? Also wondering if I should repeat my Novavax vaccination (also received last September, but prior to Novavax I had all the boosters & original Moderna vaccine)?
They want to kill off the elderly, special needs, transplant recipients, imunocompromised people, genetic "defects," cancer patients, and most important to them, is killing poor families & making us all suffer.
I've often thought that too. "You can't make me" and unless people are required to get one for their job, like my husband works in healthcare, it's a choice.
The killing starts. This time, the Trump administration has blood on their hands. Cancelling abortion to save life, but at the same time older people are left unprotected and lots of them will die. America is committing suicide.
I work in the pharmaceutical industry and typically Pharma supports Republicans, but this has really turned everything on its head, hasn’t it?! I’m sure Pfizer and others are spinning. I know in oncology we’re all holding our breath on FDA approvals. This is criminal behavior.
Other Nations (thru WHO) still have the capacity to develop a flu vaccine. The issue will be whether the US funds the infrastructure and resources to support it’s distribution and uptake

He needs to be charged with attempted murder.
Sounds like RFKjr wants Grandma and Grandpa dead.

OR ACCEPTABLE.

We are losing count

Yeah, we’re in trouble 👿
Malignant, head up his ass, ignorant fucker
@peoplepowerunited.bsky.social
a death sentence.
They are doing this on purpose.
The white tech oligarchs dismantling the government have spoken about genocide being necessary to "reboot" land currently called the United States.
What if, to solve the egg price issue, the government just redirects all those eggs to grocery stores?
