Conform statnews.com, oficialul de top al Administrației pentru Alimente și Medicamente din SUA, Vinay Prasad, a înlăturat evaluările agenției și a respins cererea lui Moderna pentru un nou vaccin antigripal. Aceasta este cea mai recentă dovadă a faptului că Prasad supune vaccinurile unei analize mai riguroase.

👉 Refuzul lui Prasad și poziția echipei de cercetători

Prasad a refuzat să accepte cererea Moderna, deși o echipă de cercetători ai agenției era pregătită să o examineze. David Kaslow, șeful biroului pentru vaccinuri, a redactat un memorandum detaliat în care explica motivele pentru care FDA ar trebui să continue cu evaluarea.

Deciziile de a înlătura personalul și de a respinge cererea sunt ultimele exemple ale atenției sporite pe care Prasad o acordă vaccinurilor. Scepticismul față de vaccinuri se infiltrează în FDA de la nivelul superior, având în vedere că secretarul sănătății, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., este cunoscut ca un critic al vaccinurilor. De asemenea, Prasad și un alt oficial de rang înalt, Tracy Beth Høeg, au preluat controlul asupra supravegherii vaccinurilor de la funcționarii publici.
