I will never forget what it was like working as an ICU physician during the pandemic. There were many days that I went back to my hotel crying because of the patients we lost.

After more than 1.2 Americans lost their lives to Covid, NIH director Jay Bhattacharya orders the agency to deprioritize pandemic preparedness & biodefense.
Make it make sense.

The flu and pneumonia kill over 45,000 people a year. Moderna developed a new mRNA flu vaccine for people 50 and older--who are most at risk. Prasad, unilaterally, against the recommendation of experts within the agency, denied Moderna's appplication. www.statnews.com/2026/02/11/m...
Prasad overruled FDA staff to reject Moderna's flu vaccine application
The rejection is the latest instance of Vinay Prasad overruling career FDA scientists to place vaccines under harsher scrutiny.

Moreover, the most critical advantage of the mRNA tech is the speed at which it can be produced. Under a properly functioning regulatory apparatus, when we got surprised with H3N2 subclade K, we could have had an updated vaccine within ~2 months.

Vinay Prasad of the FDA has broken with the usual approval process and refuses to review Modernaโs new flu shot.
He claims that the proposed clinical trial, which would compare the new vaccine to an already approved one, โdoes not reflect the best-available standard of careโ.
