The federal government has withdrawn the “emergency authorization” that allowed the COVID shots to be given to Americans without being fully evaluated and tested.
The Food and Drug Administration said it had approved COVID “boosters,” but canceled the emergency use authorizations.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of Health and Human Services, confirmed the moves on social media.
I promised 4 things:
1. to end covid vaccine mandates.
2. to keep vaccines available to people who want them, especially the vulnerable.
3. to demand placebo-controlled trials from companies.
4. to end the emergency.
In a series of FDA actions today we accomplished…

He explained he promised to “1. to end covid vaccine mandates. 2. to keep vaccines available to people who want them, especially the vulnerable. 3. to demand placebo-controlled trials from companies. 4. to end the emergency.”
He said that now has been accomplished.
“The emergency use authorizations for COVID vaccines, once used to justify broad mandates on the general public during the Biden administration, are now rescinded. FDA has now issued marketing authorization for those at higher risk: Moderna (6+ months), Pfizer (5+), and Novavax (12+). These vaccines are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors. The American people demanded science, safety, and common sense. This framework delivers all three.”
Federal officials, however, including FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and a top vaccine regulator, Vinay Prasad, have suggested the risks of COVID vaccines outweigh the benefits for healthy children and noted that uptake of the shots, both for children and adults, has been low in recent years.
In fact, there have been a long list of side effects linked to COVID shots, including heart ailments, especially in young men. Some of the side effects have proven to be fatal.
Kennedy already has decided months ago to stop recommending the shots for healthy children and pregnant women.
The FDA explained its “Emergency Use Authorization,” used get the COVID shots on the market, allowed the “use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions when certain statutory criteria have been met, including that there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives.”
In fact, however, previously available medications such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin were documented to provide benefits against COVID. The medical deep state, however, constantly belittled them.
BREAKING: The FDA has officially rescinded the Covid vaccine Emergency Use Authorizations.
The same EUA Biden used to justify sweeping federal mandates on the public is GONE.
Mandates are dead. Freedom wins.

According to the Gateway Pundit, “In July, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Trump administration formally updated the safety labeling on all mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to reflect what many Americans have been warning about for years: a disturbingly high risk of myocarditis—particularly in young men—and the possibility of long-term, irreversible heart damage. The revised warnings apply to both Pfizer’s Comirnaty and Moderna’s Spikevax vaccines and follow months of mounting pressure over transparency and accountability regarding the true risks of these experimental injections.”
