"This decision affects 60% of influenza vaccines in the U.S., and it is seismic." As stated by the FDA representative in the meeting this only effects 4-5% of influenza vaccines in the USA so it's not even close to "seismic." Those are mainly given to 65+ (multidose are not typically used in pediatric offices or for pregnant women.) Where did you come up with 60%?

You're right!!! I confused aluminum and mercury in my haste. it's 4% That's 7.5M doses per year in the US. The article will be updated.

Thank you for correcting. If you looked at who got those 4% it was mainly 65+ so not children. Also those are 4% which are produced not necessarily used. It's likely under that for actual use as not all vaccines are used each season.

Also how did you confuse aluminum for mercury in flu vaccines? Aluminum is rarely used in flu vaccines. Is it even in any of them?

Why not tell us who the lone dissenter was?

And they voted to add another poison jab. CHO cell protein contaminated RSV mAb. Even Offit admitted breastfeeding is better than RSV vaccines/mAbs. Very easy to fool the new ACIP.

Great news! I am saving this article for reference to the study and your definitions of science versus scientism. Thank you.

Who was responsible for the tantrum?

Great news!

it's good news and I hate to be a downer but if they're really turning out a universal flu vaccine that is based on an mRNA platform then this was probably gonna go away anyway

I was lied to many years ago when going to the pediatrician’s office with my 9 month old. My infant received a 2 dose regimen for influenza at 9 & 12 months - both with 12.5 mcg of Hg. I probably received a Hg containing flu shot when 7.5 months pregnant. I believed in “science”. I worked in analytical R&D lab. I thought I could trust doctors . After my kid’s autism diagnosis at 3 yrs, I fired my pediatrician and sought integrative help. It’s a long road, but today helped a little & hopefully for future generations.

Sadly, it is one of numerous vaccine ingredients that should be eliminated, no?

Finally some progress. My question is how long until this evidence-based decision filters down to Australia. I see 3 immediate roadblocks

1. A government trying to bury Covid 19 adverse events and avoid excessive compensation

2. Massive financial investment in novel mRNA facilities in Australia

3. A regulatory body still operating under significant industry funding (we all know the figure of approx. 95%).

Let’s see.

history should remember the tantrum(s).

as a mistake not to repeat.
