[1] Last day to submit a #PublicComment on the #fda's policy to limit #covid #vaccine accessibility to those who are 'one or more risk factors that put them at high risk for severe Covid-19 outcomes' or who are 65 and older. Here is the policy document published in NEJM (1).

It's published in a reputable journal and it sounds fine on paper, right? We want to protect those who are at the highest risk. So then what is the problem?

[5] Then there is the #money portion of this debate. They want to strip #VaccineResearch away from the public. They claim its to better direct resources. We know that is a lie. This is shown by their recommendation that only 'high risk' individuals be vaccinated. In my previous post we established this is counter to the goal of 'evidence based public health'. By vaccinating a small proportion of the population, we do very little to move the needle. The enemy is transmission at a population scale.

If you want to know the effect of this policy, take a look at how #healthinsurance companies decide what and what not to cover (8) This recommendation will lead to #insurancecompanies dropping vaccinations (8). Fun side fact, many people assert vaccines are a money laundering scam and big pharma wants you to get vaccinatied to rake in the cash. However, vaccines actually end up hurting the pharmaceutical industry's business model (9, 10, 11)
