BREAKING IN : FDA Urges Big Pharma To Upgrade Boosters By Autumn.
The FDA has advised vaccine companies to produce an upgraded booster shot by autumn that can protect against the original Covid strain as well as the recently virulent BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants, which accounted for over half of US cases this week..
Their advice comes despite a lack of clinical trials to prove the efficacy of the requested dual-purpose shots as concerns that they must be ordered now to be ready in time for the anticipated winter surge.
A Weill Cornell microbiology professor slammed the FDA’s haste on Wednesday, writing: "
A multibillion-dollar decision to launch a vaccine based wholly or in part on the BA.1, BA.4, or BA.5 sequence that would affect more than 100mn people need not be unduly rushed."
Which part of the multi-billion-dollar decision is a surprise?
