as JFK breaks his promises to US senators. Cancels meetings where experts decide which strains to mix to make the vaccine for next year. I guess we can always defer to WHO and use their mix FDA cancels vaccine advisory meeting for choosing flu strains for next season's shots A crucial March meeting of vaccine advisors to the Food and Drug Administration has been canceled without explanation, a member of the advisory panel told CNBC on Wednesday. The meeting of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, or VRBPAC, is held every March to select flu strains for shots released in the upcoming fall and winter. But Dr. Paul Offit, a member of that panel, told CNBC that he received an email at 4:18 p.m. ET on Wednesday saying that the upcoming March 13 meeting is canceled. He said there was no indication of whether it will be rescheduled. "Who canceled this meeting? Why did they cancel the meeting? Will manufacturers now turn to the World Health Organization to determine strains for this year's influenza vaccines?" Offit told CNBC.
Cripes. If the CDC and FDA have their hands tied, and the U.S. no longer belongs to World Health, who is going to advise now on public health? DOGE? We are slipping fast into ignorance and turmoil.
