FDA Sets New Requirements for COVID Vaccines

 

WASHINGTON — Approval for seasonal COVID-19 shots will be limited after the FDA announced new guidelines regarding the controversial vaccines Tuesday.

The new framework will continue to make shots available to adults 65 and older, along with children and younger adults with at least one high-risk problem, but it urges better studies on seasonal COVID vaccines before they can be approved for healthier people.

Numerous other countries have already updated their COVID vaccine guidelines with even stricter policies.

Even earlier this year, the CDC was recommending COVID shots for everyone that was older than 6 months old, despite the fact that they don’t prevent transmission of the virus.

In addition to data suggesting the shots may offer more risk than benefit for the vast majority of healthy children and adults, the boosters have continued to be rolled out and endorsed by government oversight agencies.

Injuries from the COVID vaccines have been almost completely ignored by the mainstream media.

"For many Americans, we simply do not know the answer as to whether or not they should be getting the seventh or eighth or ninth or 10th COVID-19 booster,” said Dr. Vinay Prasad, who joined the Food and Drug Administration 

Prasad, along with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, have criticized the U.S. approach compared to many European countries that recommend boosters based on age, risk and other factors.

This is the latest action taken by the Trump administration, which is following through on a promise to overhaul what many believe is a corrupt pharmaceutical industry that holds far too much influence with the media and government oversight agencies.
