👂🧬 The #FDA approved #Otarmeni, the first gene therapy designed to restore #hearing in individuals with a rare form of genetic #deafness caused by OTOF gene mutations.

The one-time treatment delivers a functional copy of the gene into the inner ear, enabling cells to transmit #sound signals to the #brain.

Getting #covid and flu #vaccines at the same time has been common since the covid shot became available. Now the #FDA "will require new clinical trials" before manufacturers can claim the practice is safe, and will announce a "new framework" soon.

This will, of course, reduce the number of people vaccinated

In related news, since I'll be traveling to a state where pharmacies are giving covid vaccines, I made a reservation for flu and covid shots this coming weekend.

"#US #FDA suspends #milk quality tests amid workforce cuts"

Now, this may worry some of you

But there's no need to worry

Because the #USA govt is also not reporting #disease outbreaks anymore

So you can relax:

When you're deathly ill from Listeria, it won't bother anyone!

And since they will no longer test cows for #birdFlu, there will be no evidence of it. Why waste your money on something there is no evidence of?

This is great!

En estos tiempos, hay que recordar que en Estados Unidos, ante la falta de regulación, se introducían todo tipo de sustancias nocivas en los alimentos. Hubo que sacrificarse para demostrar sus efectos y hacer campaña para que los regulasen. #Comidas #food #FDA #EstadosUnidos #USA

“An estimated 3,000 people die each year, and 48 million are sickened from food-borne illnesses. The Trump admin’s cuts will affect the work of food safety agencies.”

Trump & RFK Jr’s MAHA mandate will sicken & kill people because they’re not actually making Americans healthy, they’re gutting HHS.

Two #ethics experts who reviewed the agreement said his stake in the lawsuits appeared to be highly problematic, as the #FDA, which approves #drugs & #vaccines, would fall within #RFKJr’s purview as #health secretary. The experts said any action Kennedy took related to Merck, one of the world’s largest drugmakers, could appear to be motivated by his financial interest in a handsome settlement.
