We now know how RFK is going to take our vaccines away [View all]

Here is the playbook, laid out in this article. They won't stop at Covid. They will trap companies in an endless loop of clinical trials that are not necessary until, I assume, they just give up because they know there is no finish line to the race.

I hope Novovax sues and helps stop this madness before it spreads.

WASHINGTON -- The Trump administration's effort to impose new requirements on Novavax's COVID-19 vaccine — the nation's only traditional protein-based option for the coronavirus — is sowing uncertainty about updates to other vaccines, too.

Novavax said Monday that the Food and Drug Administration was asking the company to run a new clinical trial of its vaccine after the agency grants full approval. The company said it had responded and that it believed its shot remains “approvable.”

But a weekend post on social media by FDA Commissioner Marty Makary suggested the prospect of needing a new trial before the shots' yearly strain update — something unlikely to be possible before fall. That's raised questions about whether other vaccines will be caught in the turmoil.

“I don’t think because there’s a strain change that this is a new product,” said Dr. Jesse Goodman of Georgetown University, a former FDA vaccine chief. If that’s the new policy, “you’d always be doing clinical trials and you’d never have a vaccine that was up to date.”
