The FDA decided not to even review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccines for approval, even though the studies the FDA would be reviewing were conducted the way the FDA told Moderna to do them.

Now #Moderna expects that none of its other #mRNA #vaccines will be reviewed, and has halted studies on vaccines for EBV, HSV, and shingles.

A lot of people with herpes would be angry if they found out.

A lot of people who have family members with #MS -- now thought to be caused in part by EBV -- will be livid.

FDA declines to review Moderna application for new #mRNA flu #vaccine

“US regulators will not review #Moderna’s request to license a new, potentially more effective #Flu shot – even though the US Food and Drug Administration (#FDA) previously gave the green light to the project – in a decision that could have implications for all new and updated vaccines in the US.”

Trump official overruled FDA scientists to reject Moderna's flu shot

FDA's top vaccine regulator, Vinay Prasad, is known for overruling scientists.

Ars Technica

The very conservative #WallStreetJournal editorial board has had enough:
"It’s hard to recall a regulator who has done as much damage to #medical innovation in as little time as Vinay Prasad. In his latest drive-by shooting, the leader of the Food and Drug Administration’s #vaccine division rejected Moderna’s #mRNA flu vaccine without even a cursory review."

I had high hopes and low expectations that the FDA under the new administration would be less paternalistic and more open to medical freedom. Instead, what we are getting is paternalism with different preferences. In particular, the FDA now appears to have a bizarre anti-vaccine fixation, particularly of the mRNA variety (disappointing but not surprising […]
