The flu vax was, is, and likely will always be worthless. Trump should have let his people make the decision. We would being eating solent green if Kamala was the auto pen.
Your closing paragraphs — especially the last one— say it all:
“ The FDA arranged its review so it wouldn't have to answer questions it couldn't answer favorably before the product reached the market. The agency documented every element of the missing critical data and stepped over each one.
Most Americans believe that FDA approval means the manufacturer has demonstrated a real health benefit before millions of people receive the product. For the group that suffers most of the deaths, that is not what happened here.
Regulatory science should not begin with the desired conclusion and spend the years after approval trying to confirm it. The experiment belongs before the license. After COVID, that should have been the floor. Under Trump and Kennedy, FDA has made it the ceiling. “
I looked into this when I first heard about it. As one who was enthused when I first heard about mRNA tech back in 2020? Being used for a novel virus, the fruition of something we speculated about in grad school in the 80s (oh so Star Trekkie 😀) the reality didn’t compare. That first look at where it had been successfully used (couldn’t find any) did a 180 on whether the China Plague vax was anything I would consider - blessedly that decision never got challenged as it was for so many.
Even if mRNA for seasonal flu was successful and free of issues, I’m certainly not gonna be first in line to give it a shot (sorry, pun intentional 😝). I’d be curious how many in this forum, out in the real world have similar thoughts; also, how the breakdown across political ideologies looks.

All this massive money amounts spent on cures and dis-eases........
And yet the cold and Flu bug are in full control!
Hmmmm.....Sticks and Stones might break my bones...
But the bullshit forever lingers to the smell of fraud and injustices.
