The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is refusing to consider Moderna’s application for a new flu vaccine made with mRNA technology.

    FDA will cave. In a war between the current administration and Big Pharma, the latter has too much money.

    I do hope I’m wrong though, and they kneecap Big Pharma, which leads to way cheaper meds in general.

      Kneecapping Big Pharma would be fine if the government were planning to invest in public science and mRNA vaccine research. But if they cut off the market for privately developed vaccines, and thus the motive for pharma companies to develop them, and in place only put RFK’s blood letting and leeches (at premium prices), that’s not such a good thing.
