These are efforts to make cures for multiple sclerosis, herpes — affects hundreds of millions in the US alone! — and shingles.
This is mindblowing, amazing stuff.
But these efforts for cures require a predictable regulatory environment, where decisions are made based on science & and pub health.

You can try to have a Strong Regulatory State™️ to keep everyone ethical but if the people on top can use their money and power to undo that Strong Regulatory State™️ in about a generation ….did you really have one?

Surely Moderna will go ahead with regulatory applications in the rest of the world, but without US sales they’ll never make their R&D money back. This will have a chilling effect on development everywhere
Is there a reason Moderna can’t ask someone else?
So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.
Cool.

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.

There's a lot of concern of Europeans being dependent on US payment firms, notably Visa/Mastercard.
We forget that until 2016 Europe DID have its own payments champion. Visa Europe was owned by European banks (it merely licensed the Visa name)
Sold for ~$20bn. Basically zero regulatory scrutiny.

Gonna be really important to put a bunch of stuff into law as soon as we’re able. This is the other side of gutting the regulatory state. Tear shit down and then make it illegal to rebuild again.

The FDA’s refusal to review Moderna’s application to sell a new flu shot is part of a pattern of regulatory U-turns and overruling of FDA staff by Vinay Prasad, head of the agency’s vaccine division.

This is troubling for multiple reasons, but one big one is companies won’t want to invest in R&D and clinical trials if they don’t think they can get a fair regulatory review—which is at the end of a long and extremely expensive process.

This should read "EPA issues new finding rejecting scientific consensus". It was a regulatory finding made in response to scientific consensus, not a "scientific finding".
EPA findings aren't science; they're law.

Hopefully there’s an application to Health Canada and every other regulatory body in the world. Health Canada needs to extract itself from following FDA regulations and approvals. Our regulatory framework is pretty much a copy of FDA CFRs.

By erasing scientific facts and hamstringing the EPA's regulatory power, Trump is giving corporate polluters free rein. And right here in the race for governor, one of my opponents has spent a career profiting from the very industries who stand to benefit!
