The FDA, under Vinay Prasad, is changing its approach to COVID-19 vaccine approvals, now requiring new clinical trial data for boosters in healthy individuals under 65. This move could prevent children from receiving COVID vaccines altogether, a step Prasad has advocated. His previous stance has been that COVID vaccines for children are unnecessary, raising concerns among experts about the potential consequences of kids facing the virus unprotected. The new framework reflects an aggressive shift in vaccination policy with significant implications for public health.
"It is malpractice for a doctor to recommend the booster to children." - Vinay Prasad, advocating against COVID vaccinations for kids.
