Good news: The FDA finally approved the Novavax Covid-19 vaccine.
Bad news: There are new restrictions that will create lots of problems for people who want to get the Novavax Covid-19 vaccine.
@luckytran@med-mastodon.comThe new stricter criteria limits Novavax to people:
1. aged 65 and over
2. aged 12 and up who have at least one underlying condition that puts them at higher risk of severe illness
This goes against the science that indicates that everyone can benefit from Covid-19 vaccination.
Note: CDC lists many conditions that may make someone likelier to become severely ill with Covid-19, including older age, asthma, diabetes, lung disease, obesity and pregnancy.
By definition, most people are higher risk and should have access to Novavax.

The problem is that although the CDC lists many higher risk conditions, the FDA approval document is unclear about what qualifies as an underlying condition. This means many who should qualify may be wrongly turned away, and makes it less likely insurers will broadly cover Novavax.
Also, issuing vaccine access restrictions based on risk profile makes it confusing about who qualifies, and many people who would otherwise get the vaccine may not try because they think they don't qualify.
Novavax and other Covid-19 vaccines should be approved for everyone.
FDA approval of the Novavax Covid-19 vaccine approval was delayed by 6 weeks, a clear sign of political interference that does not bode well for future vaccine approvals.
Finally, the fact that the Trump administration delayed approval and restricted access to the Novavax Covid-19 vaccine — which is based on traditional vaccine technology — shows that questions raised about mRNA vaccines are disingenuous; they want to limit access to all vaccines.

@luckytran Reminder, that Trump's ignorance & incompetence caused the preventable death of hundreds of thousands Americans in his first irresponsible & inexcusable term occupying White House!
No further mass murder needed!

@luckytran If like me you have no primary care physician and no medical records ypu can lie about things like COPD.
Do NOT admit to being autistic though even though that's a qualifying conditiion: If that gets into computerized health records it could a potential one way ticket to RFK Jr,s "healing camps.' Pick something hard to disprove and for which there is no talk of roundups instead.
️ @LukefromDC @luckytran never thought I'd be saying "oh good, I've got a diagnosis high blood pressure."
The Devil can't take RFK Jr. and the rest of his "wellness" eugenicists fast enough.
@emma @luckytran With luck he will have a stroke and treat it with the bleach enemas some of his ilk in the UK are urging parents to use on autistic kids.
@luckytran good thing i’m a fat asthmatic. For this one thing only.
@luckytran Also throws a wrench into anyone who works in a healthcare setting and is required to have up-to-date vaccinations. And what about spouses and in-home family members of people who have underlying conditions? Does that mean my wife will get her vaccine but I won't be allowed?
