they had to take down a couple tweets, i guess that means the whole debate is over..lol
"You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Serious y’all. Stop It.” and posted a similar message on Instagram. The tweet got nearly 106,000 likes.
The FDA still stands by their original position on it, the lawsuit did not change that. it didn't make FDA admit they were wrong or admit that Ivermectin is a treatment for Covid.. but i bet you tthink that article says that,,.lol
But i guess you didn't read this same exact artile was posted in the last page or two...

I thought I better grab that surplus, and will now be discarded, FDA cow before anyone else got a hold of it.
I got lucky, it was still there. Now it's here. It's our cow now. A cool cow which can type a message on the Internet.
Knows about proper apostrophe usage.

Last week’s announcement that AstraZeneca would no longer market its Covid vaccine brings an end to one of the century’s most remarkable medical stories. Created within a year of the arrival of the pandemic, the AZ vaccine was cheap, easily stored and transported, and helped stave off humanitarian crises in Asia and Latin America, where many countries could not afford the more expensive mRNA vaccines that were being snapped up by rich western nations. It is estimated that it saved 6.3 million lives in 2021 alone.
Yet from the start the vaccine – created by research teams led by Professor Andy Pollard and Professor Sarah Gilbert at the Oxford Vaccine Centre – was dogged by controversy. It was linked to blood clots, US observers criticised protocols for its trials, and French president Emmanuel Macron claimed it was “quasi-ineffective” for people over 65. In fact, the vaccine is particularly effective for the elderly.
In very rare cases, the AZ vaccine can cause blood clots. According to the British Heart Foundation, one study in the BMJ showed that for every 10 million people vaccinated with AstraZeneca there would be a total of 73 extra cases of blood clots. By contrast 10 million Covid cases would trigger thousands of extra blood clot cases.
Many of the anxieties about the vaccine stemmed from national self-interests. However, others derive from the nature of vaccines themselves, and this raises issues that are likely to re-emerge with the arrival of any new pandemic in coming years, scientists have warned.…….

============
The U.S. government will pay the vaccine maker Moderna $176 million to develop a pandemic vaccine that could be used to treat bird flu in people as cases in dairy cows continue to mount across the country, federal officials announced Tuesday.
The funds are targeted for release through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and will pay for continued development of a vaccine that uses the same mRNA technology that allowed rapid development and rollout of vaccines to protect against COVID-19.
The award was made through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, a program that focuses on medical treatments for potential pandemics.
Moderna will launch trials to test the safety and effectiveness of a vaccine that could be used to scale up a response to a bird flu pandemic, if needed.…..

Less than half of Americans plan to get their Covid-19 vaccine this year, according to a new survey, and slightly more than half plan to get a flu shot.
In a new report released on Thursday, the Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center found that 37% of Americans have gotten vaccines in the past but do not plan to this year.
The same percentage of respondents said they do not need any of the vaccines surveyed in the poll, including those against the flu, Covid-19, pneumococcal and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the report stated.
The report also found that a slight majority of adults, 56%, have gotten or plan to get the flu shot this fall, while only 43% of adults have gotten or plan to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
Moreover, the survey found that adults 65 years and older are most likely to get the recommended vaccines.
In a statement accompanying the report, Nora Colburn, medical director of clinical epidemiology at Ohio State’s Richard M Ross Heart hospital, said: “We’re at the start of respiratory virus season when you have the triple threat of flu, Covid-19 and RSV. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation about vaccinations, but the reality is that they are safe and highly effective in preventing serious illness and death.”
“Older adults, people with certain chronic medical conditions and those who are pregnant are especially at risk during respiratory virus season,” Colburn added…….

Conspiracy theories about the vaccines followed by conspiracy theories about the outbreaks of the diseases the vaccines are for
Amongst the tin foil hat crowd that's known as a win-win
=====================================
Fewer American parents vaccinated their kindergartners as more sought exemptions from routine shots during the last school year, new data shows.
The figures – released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – follow trends since the COVID-19 pandemic with more parents foregoing children’s vaccines that have been instrumental in saving early lives. In turn, preventable diseases have resurfaced across the U.S.
The risks can be serious and even fatal for children, family members and others around them, said Dr. Georgina Peacock, director of CDC’s Immunization Services Division.
“As we are noting these declines in childhood vaccination, we are also seeing more communities experience outbreaks of measles and whooping cough across the U.S.,” she said in a statement. “Vaccination is the best way to prevent these outbreaks and their devastating impact on children.”
Routine vaccines are typically required to attend public schools unless you have an exemption. In the 2023-24 school year, the CDC reported the percentage of kindergartners who'd been vaccinated decreased for all reported vaccines. The two-dose measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is now at 92.7%, down from 95.2% during the 2019-20 school year.
At the same time, the percentage of kindergarteners with exemptions to at least one vaccine jumped to 3.3%, up from 3% in the 2022-23 year. Exemptions increased in 40 states and Washington, D.C. The percentage of children with exemptions in 14 states exceeded 5%.
Reaching at least 95% vaccination coverage in a community for diseases such as measles can prevent outbreaks, according to the CDC.
Health officials in North Carolina announced in September the state’s first measles case since 2018, of a child in Mecklenburg County who was likely exposed while outside the U.S. Rates for kindergartners in the state receiving the MMR vaccine have dipped to 93.8%. That trend is reflected in Mecklenburg, which includes Charlotte, where gradual declines in vaccination have been met with increases in outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.
Even a few unvaccinated people can have lasting effects in neighborhoods and schools...........

It was here. I got both. As others told me, the covid vaccine killed me. (Un)fortunately, the flu vaccine brought me back.
No side effects other sudden death.

and when their child dies or has long term effects from something they could have gotten protection for, they'll then blame it on some other conspiracy..Conspiracy theories about the vaccines followed by conspiracy theories about the outbreaks of the diseases the vaccines are for

Covid is once again surging across the US after an unusual relative lull over the fall, as rates of booster vaccinations remain stubbornly low.
Continuing infections and the evolution of variants underscore the importance of vaccinating, tracking the ebbs and flows of Covid, and employing preventive measures like face masks and clean air – important tools that could undergo greater politicization in coming months and years.
“The Covid pandemic is still ongoing. It’s still dangerous,” said Jeffrey Townsend, Elihu Professor of Biostatistics at the Yale School of Public Health.
“As this new administration comes about, everyone in public health and in public health communication has to be just exceedingly clear” about the state of Covid and measures to combat it in order to minimize misinformation and the potential lack of information, he said.
Test positivity, emergency room visits, hospitalizations and deaths from Covid are all increasing, and wastewater monitoring indicates the rates first started ticking up a month ago.
Only one in five (21.4%) of adults and one in 10 (10.3%) of children have gotten the newest Covid booster, which became available in late August.
One in three (37%) of nursing home residents are up-to-date on Covid shots, which is higher than 23% at the same time last year but still lower than needed to protect the population most vulnerable to severe illness and death.
“The real worry is that elderly folks will suffer greatly from this disease, if not sometimes die from it,” Townsend said.
But others are also vulnerable to Covid, he said. Beyond illness and death, that can include the economic effects of missing work and school as well as the risk of developing long Covid.………
