The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Resignations can make a difference!

In 2005, Dr. Susan Wood resigned from the FDA to protest political delays in approving Plan B, saying she could no longer serve when scientific evidence has been overruled.

In 2006, Plan B was approved for OTC use for ages 18+, and in 2013 with no restrictions.

For the past 18 years, the National Immunization Survey has shown that 99 of every 100 children in the US have received at least some recommended vaccines by 2 years of age. This does not suggest the population is so distrustful that it warrants dismantling the process by which vaccines have been recommended.”

Everyone 6 months and older is eligible to get a flu vaccine.

It makes no sense to restrict Covid vaccines to only people who have specific medical conditions.

The FDA is basing its decisions on politics, not science.

Let's be clear: The FDA is being led by people who have consistently spread misinformation about Covid and vaccines. Their record indicates that they cannot be trusted to implement evidence-based guidance for vaccines, and their policies will kill people and make them sicker.

Even if we set aside the fact that Covid continues to put everyone's health at risk, so everyone can benefit from vaccination, another important point is that vaccines reduce Covid transmission. It's critical that as many people get updated vaccines to protect those most at risk.

However, limiting Covid vaccines to people with specific conditions only causes confusions and decreases uptake.

Under its new leadership — who spread misinformation throughout the pandemic — the FDA announced it will limit all Covid vaccines to adults over 65 and those with certain medical conditions.

Covid continues to spread and cause harm. This an anti-science move that will kill more Americans.

Finally, the fact that the Trump administration delayed approval and restricted access to the Novavax Covid-19 vaccine — which is based on traditional vaccine technology — shows that questions raised about mRNA vaccines are disingenuous; they want to limit access to all vaccines.

Also, issuing vaccine access restrictions based on risk profile makes it confusing about who qualifies, and many people who would otherwise get the vaccine may not try because they think they don't qualify.

The problem is that although the CDC lists many higher risk conditions, the FDA approval document is unclear about what qualifies as an underlying condition. This means many who should qualify may be wrongly turned away, and makes it less likely insurers will broadly cover Novavax.

The life-saving therapy is based on CRISPR, which was pioneered by US scientists and won the Nobel Prize.

Instead of cutting the DNA strand like early CRISPR approaches, the new technique flips the mutated DNA “letter” to the correct type, reducing the risk of unintended changes.

With cuts to basic science research, it will be much harder to develop revolutionary techniques like CRISPR.

A baby's life was saved thanks to a custom gene-editing treatment that was made just for him and designed to fix his precise mutation. This is an incredible achievement!

The therapy was built on decades of federally funded research, and could one day treat millions. But advances like this are at risk due to science funding cuts.

At a Senate testimony today RFK Jr claimed that he is "100% committed to finding treatments for Long COVID."

Please do not fall for these lies. RFK Jr has cut funding to Long COVID research, disbanded Long COVID committees, and spread misinformation about COVID vaccines and treatments. He can not be trusted to meaningfully advance Long COVID treatments, and will only exploit vulnerable communities.
