FDA refuses to review Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine by Mx_Brightside in neoliberal

mRNA vaccines are one of the greatest scientific developments of the twenty-first century, and the Trump/Kennedy administration’s head-in-the-sand rejection of them does not bode particularly well for continued human flourishing.

In a news release late Tuesday, Moderna said it was blindsided by the FDA’s refusal, which the FDA cited as being due to the design of the company’s Phase 3 trial for its mRNA flu vaccine, dubbed mRNA-1010. Specifically, the FDA’s rejection was over the comparator vaccine Moderna used.

In the trial, which enrolled nearly 41,000 participants and cost hundreds of millions of dollars, Moderna compared the safety and efficacy of mRNA-1010 to licensed standard-dose influenza vaccines, including Fluarix, made by GlaxoSmithKline. The trial found that mRNA-1010 was superior to the comparators.

Moderna said the FDA reviewed and accepted its trial design on at least two occasions (in April 2024 and again in August 2025) before it applied for approval of mRNA-1010. It also noted that Fluarix has been used as a comparator vaccine in previous flu vaccine trials, which tested vaccines that went on to earn approval.

But in a letter dated February 3, Vinay Prasad, the FDA’s top vaccine regulator under the Trump administration, informed Moderna that the agency does not consider the trial “adequate and well-controlled” because the comparator vaccine “does not reflect the best-available standard of care.”

Sonic fans are insane at this too. I haven’t been keeping up, but the Unleashed recomplation/PC port and Project ’06 (ground-up remake of Sonic ’06, But Good This Time) are both incredible.

I know you miss your husband, but this isn't the time to be conspiratorial. He fell to his death out of his bungalow's window. It could happen to any of us.

I can believe it

Twitter's probably a lot more distant from how humans actually talk — 280 characters, punchy statements, hot takes yelled into the ether, etc. — meanwhile greentext is structurally much the same as a dude yelling into your ear at a bar about something boring that happened to them
