The canceled meeting comes just days after a CDC vaccine advisory committee meeting was abruptly postponed.

Summary

The FDA canceled its March meeting to select flu strains for next season’s vaccine without explanation, raising concerns among health experts.

The annual meeting is important for updating flu shots, ensuring they are effective against evolving strains.

The cancellation follows a postponed CDC vaccine meeting and comes amid a severe flu season with 19,000 adult and 86 pediatric deaths.

The WHO will still hold its strain selection meeting, but U.S. officials have limited engagement due to Trump’s WHO withdrawal order.

Concerns grow over HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s influence on vaccine policy.

    Concerns grow? Shouldn’t we be at the outrage stage by now?

      We should be PAST the outrage stage by now… but we’re not, and we’re not going to be until it’s to late, than everyone will act horrified and say ‘if only we had known, we would have stopped it.’

        We should be at the “infighting to decide who will take power after taking everyone previously in power to the guillotine” stage.

      It is long past time for torches and pitchforks.
