Western #States Issue Their Own #Vaccine Recommendations to Counter #RFKJr
The guidelines, from #California, #Oregon, #Washington & #Hawaii, mirror those of major #medical organizations. They were issued a day before an advisory panel was to meet to review potential changes to #federal recommendations.

“Amid turmoil at the CDC, the debate over the federal government’s #vaccine policy remains as contentious as ever. Now, some states are taking matters into their own hands, forming alliances to review scientific data and make their own vaccine recommendations. John Yang speaks with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, who is also a physician, to learn more about the states’ efforts.”

The complaints shed light on much of the internal strife at the agency earlier this year, as the #Trump admin clamped down on the country’s #medical research #funding apparatus.
The scientists drew particular attention to what they described as an administration-wide “hostility” toward #vaccines that they said had taken hold in the upper echelons of the #NIH, long one of the world’s leading engines of #vaccine #research.
“A 2022 study in mice and ferrets showed that a universal flu vaccine NIH plans to support has promise. However, multiple studies of potential universal flu vaccines based on mRNA technology show even more potential. Such vaccines could induce broader immunity than whole-virus vaccines by eliciting antibody and T-cell responses that target an even wider range of flu viruses.”

Scientists at the University of Florida created a personalized #mRNA #vaccine that, in early #human trials, rapidly reprogrammed patients’ #immune systems to attack #glioblastoma within 48 hours; tested on four individuals and inspired by #COVID19 vaccine technology, it bypasses chemotherapy and radiation, shows promise as a potential universal #cancer treatment, and has sparked both hope andskepticism as trials expand, including to children. Will #maga shut this down as well...

“The retrospective cohort study included more than 130,000 people in the US. It reveals that the shingles #vaccine (called Shingrix) and the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine (Arexyv) are associated with a reduced risk of dementia compared to the annual flu vaccine.”
‘…findings…suggest "that the AS01 adjuvant itself plays a direct role in lowering #dementia risk.”’
“[Those] who received both the Shingrix and the Arexyv vaccine showed a 37% reduction in risk.”

#RFKJr is canceling $500 million in funding for #mRNA #vaccine development projects. mRNA is used for #respiratory #viruses like #covid & #flu & also is being developed for targeted #cancer #vaccines. This sets back #cancerresearch & will result in more deaths.

Some excellent news! 😁

They're licensing out the drug at cost-of-manufacturing, so everyone on our planet will be able to afford it. 😁
