FDA did not convene its expert adivsory panel in advance of this decision.

This thread has some of the highlights of what the panel said when they voted to greenlight the first two doses in this age group:
Note the prophetic analysis of the NIH's Michael Kurilla.

We have CDC flu view for MMWR Week 18, ending May 7, 2022.

Let's do a brief Friday ILI Day thread.

Flu testing. Traditionally the clinical lab figures are the surveillance numbers, but a lot of testing has shifted to public health labs.

Comps are this year's week 18 to previous years' week 18 week-of reports, not final, to account for lag.

Clinical lab results this season by week.

Week 15 peak candidate still there, but we have a rise after a two-week drop. So much for a smooth end-of-season.

Now it's very simple for all House members: if you want to ban Biden's airplane/mass transit mask mandate (that he's appealing to bring back) you sign this discharge petition.

That includes @RepSeanMaloney who CLAIMS to support the bill.

Thank you @RepDanBishop!
Reminder, this bill already passed the Senate 57-40 with 8 Democrats senators voting yes.

Write to your House member using our form here!
