Mask mandates are reemerging in response to rising COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations driven by variant EG.5. Examples include Kaiser Permanente in California, Rutgers University in New Jersey, Morris Brown College in Georgia, and Upstate Medical hospitals in Syracuse, New York.
Other entities such as Hollywood studio Lionsgate are also reinstating mask mandates, and the CDC urges high-risk individuals and areas with significant hospitalizations to mask.
The FDA has rejected its strongest safety warning for Covid mRNA vaccines despite acknowledging that children were killed by the products.
This news surfaced during a televised Bloomberg interview with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, who said the agency has “no plans” to apply its strongest safety warning to Covid mRNA vaccines.
In that interview, Makary confirmed that the FDA’s own safety and epidemiology centre had formally recommended a boxed warning — a step reserved, under FDA rules, for drugs with “special problems, particularly ones that may lead to death or serious injury.”
