Actually, they sort of destroyed the whole program. I just stole that headline—verbatim—from USA Today.
The truth is, what actually happened is almost the exact opposite. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s FDA just revoked the Covid shots’ Emergency Use Authorization—the very magic wand that greenlit mandates, job losses, military purges, school expulsions, and the whole dystopian circus of the last four years. Finally, mercifully, the golden ticket for coercion has been run through the shredder.
Instead of sweeping recommendations that essentially include anyone with a pulse, now you must be over 65 or have at least one health condition to qualify for endless jabs. In other words, if you’re not frail or high-risk, the government is officially done forcing you to take one for the team.
I know. They’re still allowing poisonous cocktails to be given to the most fragile groups on earth. Tell me you’re keen on depopulating the planet without telling me you’re keen on depopulating the planet. But at least someone is trying to protect some of us.
Naturally, mainstream media rushed to spin this as great news for vaxaholics. “FDA APPROVES UPDATED COVID-19 SHOTS,” PBS bellowed, followed by a sheepish whisper in microscopic type: “…with some restrictions for kids and adults.” The same outlets that once hawked the jab as a granny-saving miracle are now straining to slap a smiley-face sticker on what is, in reality, a massive retreat.
“Parents will still be able to seek out shots from rival drugmaker Moderna, the other maker of mRNA vaccines, which has full FDA approval for children as young as 6 months,” PBS attempted to soothe, after having to break the tragic news to its readers that Pfizer’s vaccine will no longer be available for any child under five. “But the company’s Spikevax vaccine is only approved for children with at least one serious health problem.”
The American Academy of Pediatrics—who just two weeks ago issued their own vaccine guidance (in summary: every arm, every season, quit questioning) that differs from federal policy—moaned that the new limits “may block vaccine access for families who want to protect their children.” Imagine the horror: parents panicking because their healthy toddlers won’t be injected with an experimental gene therapy.
An epidemiologist at Brown even lamented that the changes might “make it harder for people to get vaccines.” Harder? It means you now have to talk to your doctor before you roll up your sleeve. Oh, the humanity.
Pfizer and Moderna, of course, rushed out press releases reminding us that yes, the juice is still flowing if grandma wants her Spikevax fix—because nothing says “science” like a quarterly earnings call.
