RFK Jr. Gets One Right
He’s correct in questioning the Covid-19 vaccine’s inclusion on the schedule for children.
My criticism of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., secretary of health and human services, has been public for many years and is no secret. Kennedy has not been a science-based policymaker, before or after his confirmation to the Trump cabinet. His proposed policies since becoming the head of HHS have been no better, as he continues to follow his own personal agendas instead of following the science and data.

Florida grand jury investigating COVID-19 vaccines finds no evidence of criminal activity
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A statewide grand jury convened at the request of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to investigate “any and all wrongdoing” concerning COVID-19 vaccines did not find any evidence of criminal activity, according to a report unsealed on Tuesday.

CNN Reveals "Troubling" Poll: American Trust In Vaccines Is Plummeting
American trust in medical institutions and vaccine technology has been plunging the past several years, and though the media treats this as a "troubling" and dangerous development for our society the shift might represent a positive change. The activities of Big Pharma have gone largely unchecked and unchallenged for many decades. The FDA has a revolving door policy, allowing pharmaceutical executives to exit their companies and work at the agency with impunity, then leave again and return to their former jobs. It not hard to understand how this creates a...
Florida’s 2024-2025 COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance Misunderstands, Distorts Existing Science
An abundance of evidence indicates the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are remarkably safe and work well to protect against severe disease. But last month, the state of Florida issued updated vaccine guidance advising “against the use” of the shots entirely — even for people who are older and at higher risk of severe disease. Experts say the advice is ill-informed and “illogical.”
Northwestern sues Moderna for patent infringement over COVID-19 vaccines
Oct 16 (Reuters) - Moderna (MRNA.O) was hit with a new patent lawsuit on Wednesday in Delaware federal court from Northwestern University, which accused the company of misusing the school's innovations to develop its blockbuster COVID-19 vaccine Spikevax. The lawsuit said Moderna uses Northwestern-developed lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology without a license in Spikevax shots to transport fragile messenger RNA into the human body. A Moderna spokesperson said the company was aware of the lawsuit and will defend itself against the claims.
FDA asks COVID vaccine makers to target KP.2 strain, if feasible, for next shot
The U.S. health regulator has changed its strain recommendation for the 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccines, as it asked manufacturers to update the new shots to target the KP.2 variant, if feasible, instead of the JN.1 lineage it sought to target earlier.
The Food and Drug Administration's change in recommendation, in an update dated Thursday, comes even as Moderna (MRNA.O) and Novavax (NVAX.O) — makers of two of the three COVID vaccines — submitted their applications to the agency for updating the fall 2024 season shots with the JN.1 strain.
Fact Check: Study does not say COVID vaccines may have fuelled excess deaths
A newly released study does not say COVID-19 vaccines may have fuelled excess deaths across the world, contrary to claims on social media.
The journal which published the analysis has issued a statement, opens new tab calling news from “various outlets” about the paper “misreporting” and emphasising that “the research does not support the claim that vaccines are a major contributory factor to excess deaths since the start of the pandemic”.
