> “So one can only assume”

They are “assuming” a major unannounced policy change based on… a single meeting cancelation. By this cause/effect protocol, I have personally witnessed dozens of multi billion dollar project cancellations, or so I assume.

RFK Jr has never proposed canning the vaccine program. He wants certain studies performed, which presumably would run in parallel with the existing program.

The constant hysteria really makes me want to quit the internet. It seems to get worse every year.

It's a highly time sensitive meeting around setting manufacturing targets for the upcoming flu season. It's the kind of thing that when delayed causes actual adverse problems as opposed to cancelling a sprint standup or whatever.

Could it be possible you are wrong, and it is as bad as everyone here seems to think?

I find (after a verrrrry long time of arguing with people on the internet), when somebody acts as obtuse as the person you're replying to, they really aren't ignorant, they're trolling, or looking for an emotional argument. One of the common tells is making an obtuse statement that's fairly vague (to draw out responses) and then writing long replies to those that show much more cynicism/disingenous, which provoke people further, followed by "see! this is just an example of how deluded the people who disagree with me are!"

have you considered the possibility that despite sanewashing this, it is really a problem? That the current administration is not normal? That perhaps there really is cause for alarm?

[biophysboy]

What studies is he proposing that have not been done many times before?

The articles are not hysterical and give good info, such as:

- vaccines take 6 months to make

- FDA spokesperson did not respond for comment

- its not the first meeting to be cancelled

- an earlier CDC quarterly meeting was postponed to accommodate "public comment"

The anti vaccine movement that RFK Jr grifts off of is the hysteria.

Worrying about the grifter crank harming public health is level headed...
