Kind of old news. But when I think back on everything that happened during the Covid pandemic the one thing we got completely completely right was the vaccine. Super successful thing out into people's arms in under a year. Basically tamed the worst of covid. And yet ...
The FDA names Dr. Vinay Prasad — a hematologist-oncologist who has been accused of spreading misinformation about Covid vaccines and was an outspoken critic of the agency’s decision to approve Covid shots in children — as its new vaccine chief.

Prasad was an outspoken critic of the FDA’s response to the pandemic, including the former vaccine chief, Dr. Peter Marks.

100% agree. But those lunatics (including a close family member of mine) are convinced the Covid vaccine is pure evil. Pure evil. And Fauci deserves capital punishment.
(They let Trump (who presided over Warp Speed) slide however. Somehow.)
We are still fortunate enough to have other dependable Countries to look for health info and updates. Don't listen to anything coming out of this Administration because they all are LIARs.
The most widely used COVID vaccine in the US… was not developed in the US
It was developed in Germany, by BioNTech
Who then partnered with Pfizer, who ran the trials and produced BioNTech’s vaccine under the Pfizer name from their plant in the US.
While Bio made it in Europe.
BioNTech developed that vaccine and had it ready for trials… before Project Warp Speed was even announced.
They’re going to kill us all.
I’ve gone 5 years without getting COVID.
Pretty sure that’s over.
Monsters
They're just going out of their fucking way to kill us all.
This seems to be the Trump way. If you opposed things we don't like, you are now automatically qualified to run that Department.
Can't make this stuff up.
Follow the $
The thing about all these anti-vax assholes is they never have data to back up their claims, which if what they were saying was true would be so easy to do since the U.S. unintentionally ran one of the largest experiments in history due to political polarization around the vaccine.
He should never be allowed to practice just think of the blood on his hands.
We like to learn things the hard way
Dr. Prasad accomplishments list appears to be missing his Doctor of Phrenology title
Sigh
I was charged with doing some briefing for City of Seattle regarding what COVID could look like in Feb 2020. I was like, oh shit, we are in for routine shut downs for years because the fastest we've been able to get a vaccine through development is 5 years. The COVID vaxes are marvels.
Putin MUST be behind all this!
I can't wait and I won't feel bad about it. Already, it gives me some pleasure to see the large disparity in death rates from covid between Democrats and Republicans, can you guess which demographic died more frequently of the disease?
FDA was too well respected so they have to destroy it. ActingtheFulemin said Trumpism is destroying merit. That seems to make sense with how they must destroy things that worked well.
Democrats knew Trump was lying about voter fraud because his supporters refused to get vaccinated and died of Covid-19 or
This last flu season was especially hard on kids. We don’t need another anti-vac

The UC San Francisco folks are happy to be rid of him, which doesn't bode well for the rest of us
Gee wizz Dr. Salk, can't we just dose them with vitamin A and tell them to get more exercise?

Just insulting
He is like the least worst choice.. he definitely got red pilled but he is still in favor of vaccines broadly, unless I've missed something.
... yet it's never to late to rewrite history.
If Democrats are able to win the mid terms with a big enough margin they better seriously work at getting the felon's incompetent appointees fired. Especially if they Win the 2028 election. No appeasement like 2020.
Just another wacko
