FDA commissioner told CNN the agency is launching "intense investigation" into whether Covid shots cause deaths in kids. The shots have been given to billions of people, and researchers have found no evidence of major safety risks aside from myocarditis. statnews.com/2025/09/05/fda…

A very good example of why it makes sense to make CRLs public.

Ive spent a lot of time as a physician in countries all over the world I’ve seen kids die of diarrhea, Ebola, tetanus, and malaria Healthcare in the U.S. is definitely a mess But “sickest country in the world” is doing a lot of work here

BREAKING, via @KatelynCordero in NY Playbook PM: @GovKathyHochul will sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid vaccines to New Yorkers who request them.
A New York Times reporter found a "tracking device" on his family's car, which law enforcement told him "was likely planted by parties concerned about reporting that he was doing," according to a NYT FOIA lawsuit for FBI records related to its investigation.
Trump administration confirms plan for PEPFAR to distribute Gilead’s new HIV prevention drug statnews.com/pharmalot/2025… via @statnews
Miss today's three-hour-long slugfest of a hearing with RFK Jr.? @_daniel_payne and @isabellacueto didn't, and have you covered with the big takeaways. Via @statnews statnews.com/2025/09/04/hhs…
You know who can't get a Covid vaccine, or faces substantial new hurdles to getting one? Me, my neighbors, and millions of other people. statnews.com/2025/09/04/cov… via @statnews
Thought this was notable — Bill Cassidy did raise concerns with RFK Jr during the hearing. "I would say, effectively, we're denying people vaccines," Cassidy said. But the press release his office put out says nothing on that. Instead emphasizes Cassidy's alignment with Trump.
This claim that @SecKennedy continues to make about childhood vaccines not being tested in placebo-controlled trials is total BS. As I told @cvdall last June, "essentially every childhood vaccine has been tested in placebo-controlled trials of some sort." cidrap.umn.edu/adult-non-flu-…
Can anyone get a Covid shot if they want one? No Despite what Secretary Kennedy said -- and he and Warren both seemed to be confused about our confusing system. statnews.com/2025/09/04/cov…
Kennedy faces off with senators, defends firing CDC director at hearing statnews.com/2025/09/04/hhs… via @statnews
To be clear none of the people @SecKennedy mentioned work in the National Center for Immunizaton and Respiratory Diseases at CDC. He has not been briefed by experts. Where is he getting his information on your health? Thanks @SenatorLujan for that important question.…
I want to take a moment to note this: FDA Commish Marty Makary's move to make FDA rejection letters (known as complete response letters or CRLs) is a very good thing both for investors, who will be lied to less, and to drug developers, who will have a much better idea of what…
“I’m asking the questions here. You can characterize it any way you want: I quoted them today. What I said was accurate. What you said were lies.” statnews.com/2025/09/04/hhs…
At a Senate Finance hearing, Senator Bill Cassidy asked Secretary Kennedy if appointing paid expert witnesses in litigation against vaccine makers was a significant conflict. Kennedy said it wasn’t. “It may be a bias,” the secretary said, but added that as long as those…
Hey folks - FDA has posted more Complete Response Letters, including those sent to $CAPR and $REPL. My quick read doesn't reveal any issues / deficiencies not previously disclosed. You can find the new CRLs here: open.fda.gov/apis/transpare… Let me know if you see anything…
