Why did it take so long to recognize the virus on high-tech farms in the world’s richest country? Because even though H5N1 has circulated for nearly three decades, its arrival in dairy cattle was most unexpected.

These COVID vax death claims & policy by Vinay Prasad are unsurprising given his long problematic contrarian crusade. If only his BS cld've waited until after the holiday. If past VAERS data claims are indicators, there will be much to scrutinize abt this--& now he's making policy off it. 🛟 😷 medsky
2 screenshots of X tweet thread by journalist Ali Rogin on Nov. 25, 2025. Text below is copy and paste verbatim from her 4 tweets...

Tweet 1: NEW: In an email sent to staff this afternoon, CBER chief Vinay Prasad says the @US_FDA for the first time "will acknowledge that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children," which he calls a "profound revelation."

Tweet 2: He says that assessment is based on a "detailed analysis of deaths voluntarily reported to the VAERS system," and that following an initial analysis of 96 deaths between '21 and '24, they've identified "no fewer than 10" that are related to the shot

Tweet 3: He says that based on this analysis, "we will take swift action regarding this new safety concern" and "will demand pre-market randomized trials assessing clinical endpoints for most new products."

Tweet 4: Prasad also says the FDA will "revise the annual flu vaccine framework" which he calls "an evidence-based catastrophe," and he invites people who disagree with this new direction to resign. "For those who choose to remain... I look forward to working with you," he concludes.

As more dairy workers are infected, researchers are concerned that the virus could mutate into a strain that is more lethal—and transmissible among humans. “If not endemic yet, it sure looks like it’s heading in that direction.”

While it remains seasonal in poultry, the disease is spreading in dairy cows and infecting hundreds of other species—including a few humans.

Vinay Prasad sent Tracey Høeg dumpster diving in VAERS for pretext to block access to flu vaccines, alter safety standards, end combo vaccines, & hold clinical trials to impossible standards. CBER is supposed to regulate vaccines, not withhold them. FDA is as broken as CDC.

Big change: FDA to impose strict new vaccine requirements under RFK Jr ally Vinay Prasad signaled changes to annual flu shots, concurrent vaccines + more Prasad said his team found link between covid-19 shots and kids' deaths, necessitating a new approach overall with @rachelroubein.bsky.social
