Trump somehow got worse on public health after covid

In the Trump administration’s latest assault on public health, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s crankified FDA refused last week to review the first mRNA flu vaccine developed by Moderna.

The FDA’s official reason was that the trial of the vaccine had been inadequate. But since Moderna had already discussed trial design with officials, this is pretty obviously an excuse meant to provide cover for Kennedy’s longstanding gibbering anti-vax quackery.
