AMA to review safety of respiratory vaccines as health agencies end recommendations based on no new data
“The [American Medical Association (AMA)] will help conduct a review on the safety and effectiveness of respiratory vaccines as federal health agencies and advisers end vaccine recommendations based on no new information.
“”They are filling a void that the government created,” Ezekiel Emanuel, vice-provost for global initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania, told journalists on Tuesday.
“The US government had “abdicated” this responsibility under Robert F Kennedy Jr, the secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and a longtime anti-vaccine critic, Emanuel said.
“The American Medical Association (AMA) will partner with the Vaccine Integrity Project to review the evidence on vaccines for influenza, Covid-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) for the fall.”
