The Food and Drug Administration’s chief medical and scientific officer, Dr. Vinay Prasad, rejected two COVID-19 vaccines in May due to unknown risks despite experts’ confidence that they were safe, documents revealed.
While both the Novavax vaccine and the newest generation of the mRNA Moderna vaccines had been signed off on by about 30 FDA vaccine officials, Prasad ended up writing overrides for each, restricting their use. Prasad argued that the threat of COVID-19 had decreased, changing the cost-benefit weight of receiving such a vaccine.
“Even rare vaccination-related harms, both known and unknown, now have a higher chance of outweighing potential benefits in non-high-risk populations,” Prasad said in the Novavax override memo.
The reversal is part of a larger effort at the FDA to limit vaccinations to people 65 and older. Vaccine eligibility was also reduced for people whose medical conditions would put them at risk if the vaccine were administered.
Records show the clinical trials involved 30,000 people, and another database containing 45,000 people was also reviewed. Andrew Nixon, spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services, backed up Prasad, saying he did his job and did it in the best way.

“Even rare vaccination-related harms, both known and unknown, now have a higher chance of outweighing potential benefits in non-high-risk populations”
That might be true.
I would like to see some numbers to back up that assertion.
I couldn’t care a rat’s Arse about “confidence” in safety of whatever. Show me the tests and the results.
The bigPharm arseholes who pushed their crappola did it when they knew that there were no tests, NONE, on transmissibilty and that it killed ~80% of fetuses. Theywent ahead ‘cause their lackeys in the CDC would cover for them with the emergency licenses that ensured no liability.
I’m concerned they’re going to enhance Flu vaccines with the vax. I stopping taking the flu vax but can’t convince my wife to stop.
I agree with you. I’m over 91 and I don’t take the Flu tax or any other vax. My wife couldn’t pass any of them up. She’s been gone now for nearly a year. I get calls from United Health Care wanting to come to my home give me a checkup. Even offer a $15 benefit. Big Deal. As far as I am concerned they can stay the Hell out of my home.
Bkmk

I do recall Fauci said they were going to combine flu with Covid vax. Reading up on these vaccines led me to conclude we never needed an annual flu vax anyway. About 10 years ago (est.) RFK Jr. said in an interview that the CDC combined the pneumonia stats with the flu stats every year in order to increase the flu numbers and pressure people to get the vax. He always asked people he met how many people they knew died of flu. In years of asking, only one person knew someone who died of the flu. He said if the death statistics for flu were accurate, we'd all know someone who died of the flu.
He said the deaths are from pneumonia and that's why they add them in with flu stats, and then press the public with warnings about the seriousness of getting a flu vax. I went to the CDC government website and looked for myself, and the graphs showing annual flu stats by year use an acronym, PI, for a title. There's room for actual words but they use PI to represent Pneumonia/Influenza. They bundle them together.
During Covid, those graphic representations of infection levels are titled PIC (pneumonia, Influenza, Covid).
Also, the former Chief of Science of the allergy and infectious diseases dept at Pfizer explained that a researcher tested survivors of the 2003 SARS outbreak with SARS again, and they did not get ill because their immunity developed about 17 years earlier still held. That researcher then tested those SARS survivors with Covid and they didn't become ill because there was enough similarity (I think it was around 20 %) between the two viruses (both are corona viruses) that their immunity to SARS protected them from Covid.
It makes sense to me that the body's immune system wouldn't be all that helpful if we actually had to get every illness in existence before we become immune to it. Many people never got Covid because they had immunity.
I think the annual flu shots are a scam and then Fauci said he wanted to combine the two.
I have a sister who lives with her adult daughter. Every year they get the flu vaccine, and every year they both get some sort of URI that their doctors merely medicate and don’t bother to check if it’s the flu. I never take the flu vaccine and never get annual URIs.
“”I’m over 91 and I don’t take the Flu tax or any other vax. “”
Yup. Never had a flu shot. Never took the clot shots. If somebody else wants to take them it is none of my concern. My body, my choice as they say.
I personally know of 5 people that died from the covid shot. There is possibly 2 more only I do not have great info on them.
Agree
With Novavax, no side effects and NO covid.
I'll be getting the Novavax vaccine again this fall.
Flu shots? Yup, I get the Fluzone high strength every autumn, as well. Works for moi.

We all wanted to see actual data to show that we even needed the vax. Nothing was forthcoming.
The FDA filings for Moderna and Pfizer specified that the pharmas had 'data gaps'. Not only were we not shown the data, we weren't shown these data gaps. The following is an excerpt re the absence of information for the Covid19 vaccines the entire world was pressured to take excerpted from Christian Elliot's article (April 15, 2021), 18 Reasons I Won’t Be Getting a COVID Vaccine
If that’s not alarming enough, here are other gaps in the data — in other words, there is no data to suggest safety or efficacy regarding:
- Anyone younger than age 18 or older than age 55.
- Pregnant or lactating mothers.
- Autoimmune conditions.
- Immunocompromised individuals.
- No data on transmission of COVID.
- No data on preventing mortality from COVID.
- No data on duration of protection from COVID.
In case you think I’m making this up, or want to see the actual documents sent to the FDA by Pfizer and Moderna for their Emergency Use Authorization, you can check out this, or this respectively. The data gaps can be found starting with page 46 and 48 respectively.
For now let’s turn our eyes to the raw data the vaccine makers used to submit for emergency use authorization …
5. No access to raw data from trials
Would you like to see the raw data that produced the “90% and 95% effective” claims touted in the news?
Me too. But the companies won’t let us see that data.
As pointed out in the BMJ, something about the Pfizer and Moderna efficacy claims smells really funny. There were “3,410 total cases of suspected, but unconfirmed COVID-19 in the overall study population, 1,594 occurred in the vaccine group vs. 1,816 in the placebo group.”
Wait … what? Did they fail to do science in their scientific study by not verifying a major variable?
Could they not test those “suspected but unconfirmed” cases to find out if they had COVID? Why not test all 3,410 participants for the sake of accuracy?
In 1977 the Swine Flu vax was pulled after causing 3 dozen reported deaths and 500 reported injuries.
The CoupFlu vaxxes have a far, far higher body count.
Why is human life worth so much less now than it was in ‘77...?
“
EXPERTS ok’d. Then it definitely is not ok.
Here’s my two cents.
Make the damn things completely optional. But if you go ahead and have the poison injected and suffer the consequences, it’s on you.
For any of us female Pure Bloods, before you have any intimate contact with a new partner insist on a sperm test to discover whether or not spike proteins are included in the package.
Male and female PB’s insist on blood analysis.
Anyone who has submitted, yielded, or been forced into the medical rape of the clot shot should voluntarily do these tests to know their status.
I’m worried for the new generation coming of age now.
