    Yeah, the vaccine part is the real pie-in-the-sky part, isn’t it? Did you hear about this one?

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which Kennedy oversees, notified members of its vaccines and related biological products advisory committee on Thursday that the next meeting scheduled for 13 March was cancelled without providing an explanation.

    No new date was set for a meeting and scientists warned that the cancellation risked undermining the development of flu vaccines for next year.

    This is the group that assess the current flu strains and determines what strains should be protected against in the next flu shot. That decision needs to be made now so the vaccine can be produced.
