Letters: FDA decisions on vaccines, vaping trigger disbelief, outrage
Critics express outrage over FDA decisions blocking vaccine safety studies and approving fruit-flavored e-cigarettes.Summary
The author expresses disbelief and outrage regarding two recent decisions by the FDA. First, the agency blocked the publication of scientific evidence from public-funded studies that support the overall safety of COVID and shingles vaccines. The author argues that those who have suffered from these conditions would want to avoid them for themselves and their loved ones. Second, the FDA approved fruit-flavored e-cigarettes for adults, which the author fears will lead to increased use by preteens and high school students. The author concludes that these decisions are mind-numbingly thoughtless and that the country is entering a "medical dark ages." The author calls for a rejection of these policies and a return to accepted public health standards.
