RFK JR. In RFK JR. Covid vaccine approval against the advice of agency scholars

The new notes from the Food and Drug Administration show how the agency’s vaccine head, Dr. Vinay Brasad, enters personally to put restrictions on Cofide shots from vaccine makers Novavax and accident.

Both vaccinations were approved by the Food and Drug Administration in May after months of analysis by FDA references in the rank and file.

But domestic correspondence shows that Parasad does not agree with the employees who planned to agree to the bullets for all 12 or larger, similar to the previous Covid vaccines. Scientists have concluded the use of vaccines, and the risk of Covid-19 over the risk of potential side effects, which are rare.

Instead, Brasad decided that the shots should be limited to those who face special risks of the virus – the elderly or children and adults with essential medical problems.

Brasad explained that the benefits of the Covid vaccine should be reviewed in light of the low deaths, hospitalization and the possibility of the side effects of the vaccine. It is the latest in A series of vaccine restrictions It was imposed by officials working during the Kennedy era, who has long interrogated the benefits of vaccines.

“Even the rare damage related to its associated vaccination, it is now a greater opportunity to excel the potential benefits,” Brasad wrote in a five -page memorandum explaining his decision.

Covid-19 still represents a threat to public health, which leads to 32,000 to 51,000 American deaths and more than 250,000 hospitals since last fall, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of them are at risk of hospitalization are the elderly and children under 2 – especially infants under the age of 6 months.

Senior food and drug administration leaders usually do not participate in reviewing individual products. Officials such as Prasad can remove employees, but such cases can often be controversial.

Food and drug management documents were reported by the New York Times.

Brasad was appointed to lead the Food and Drug Administration Center in May, after the former director, Dr. Peter Marx, was forced to resign due to differences with Kennedy. Academic researcher Cancer treatmentsBrasad came to a prominent position during a pandemic to criticize public health measures, including the approval of the Food and Drug Administration on the Covid enhancement for healthy adults and children.

Since his arrival at the agency, work with the FDA Commissioner Mark Macari New guidance that would limit Future Covid reinforcements on high risk Americans, especially the elderly and those who suffer from medical conditions such as asthma and obesity.

These limits are identical to the conditions that FDA recently agreed to get a Novavax, nuvaxovid and MnexSpike snapper. The Novavax vaccine is the only protein -based Corunverus vaccine in the modern US vaccine is an updated version of a dose less than a square square vaccine.

The Novavax vaccine review team referred to data from a study in 30,000 adults, and concluded that “this risk assessment and benefits of vaccine technology are still favorable.”

FDA staff (FDA) has reached a similar conclusion, considering it similar in safety and effectiveness for the original company’s divorce.

Last week, the FDA has ended a new warning about the risk of heart muscle inflammation, which is a rare form of heart inflammation, on clips from Moderna and Moderna VizarAnother maker of square bullets for Kovid.

In the “Medium Memorandum”, the decision of the Food and Drug Administration employees regarding Moderna shot reflected, Prasad pointed to the constant danger of myocarditis and questions about its frequency. The modern agency has ordered more studies on risks as a condition for approval of the updated shot.

A spokesman for the administration said that Brasad “raised serious concerns” about this case.

“We will not ignore these risks and we will ensure the use of the golden criterion for science in any decisions,” Andrew Nixon said in an email statement.

External researchers note that cases of heart condition tend to solve them quickly and less severe than those associated with Covid infection, which can also cause myocarditis.
