Experts Are Leery About 4th Dose of COVID-19 Vaccine
Experts Are Leery About 4th Dose , of COVID-19 Vaccine.
ABC News reports that as coronavirus vaccine manufacturers request authorization from
the FDA to administer another dose.
Some experts want officials to pump the brakes on any more booster shots.
Those experts remain unconvinced
that a fourth dose is necessary.
There are very few, if any, people who, in my opinion, require a fourth dose.
, Dr. Anna Durbin, professor, director of the center for immunization research at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, via ABC News.
Studies conducted in Israel, which implemented a fourth dose, only found
slightly improved coronavirus resistance.

Unless there's clear evidence something is
of value, don't give it.
, Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center
at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, via ABC News.
For most health officials, the goal that remains is
to protect the population against severe illness, which the vaccines have effectively done.
These vaccines continue to demonstrate high protection against hospitalization
and severe disease, Dr. Anna Durbin, professor, director of the center for immunization research at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, via ABC News.
Prevention of infection, in my opinion, is not the metric that we should use, Dr. Anna Durbin, professor, director of the center for immunization research at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, via ABC News.
As the world moves forward,
the future remains uncertain.

Some experts say three doses of a coronavirus vaccine is enough,
"but it depends on the new
variants that will come next."

DNC Chair Jamie Harrison is
confident that Democrats will handle the
issue and "land this plane on our own.".
Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and
all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree.

they have failed to act every time, so
Democrats will land this plane on our own, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Through a virtual roll call, we will ensure that
Republicans can't chip away at our democracy
through incompetence or partisan tricks and
that Ohioans can exercise their right to vote
for the presidential candidate of their choice, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Mike DeWine, Republican governor
of Ohio, chimed in as well.
While I understand the Democratic National
Committee has just today proposed a
work-around to help get President Biden
on the Ohio ballot, it is prudent legislation
be passed to get this done. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
As I previously said, we do not want to leave
something so basic as having the sitting
President of the United States on the ballot
to others when this can-and should-be done
legislatively. It's the right thing to do. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
For these reasons, it is important that
a bill or multiple bills that accomplish
these common-sense measures come
to my desk right away this week.

Supreme Court Upholds , FDA Regulation on Popular , Abortion Drug Mifepristone.
On June 13, the Supreme Court ruled against a group of
doctors who challenged the Food and Drug Administration's
(FDA) regulations on the abortion pill mifepristone.
CBS reports that the case once again highlighted
abortion access following the conservative
majority decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022.
The court ruled unanimously that the group of
anti-abortion rights doctors and medical associations
lacked the legal right to challenge the FDA. .
However, the court also did not address
whether the FDA's decision to relax the
rules for mifepristone's use were lawful. .
The latest ruling was authored
by Justice Brett Kavanaugh. .
Under Article III of the Constitution,
a plaintiff's desire to make a drug
less available for others does
not establish standing to sue. , Justice Brett Kavanaugh writing for the court, via CBS.
Nor do the plaintiffs' other
standing theories suffice.
Therefore, the plaintiffs lack
standing to challenge FDA's actions, Justice Brett Kavanaugh writing for the court, via CBS.
CBS reports that the ruling does not impact other
challenges to the FDA's standing on mifepristone,
while preserving access to the popular abortion medication.
In 2016 and 2021, the FDA took steps to widen access
to mifepristone, which has been taken by over
5 million patients since first being approved in 2000.
Those steps included allowing the drug to be taken up to 10
weeks into a pregnancy, reducing the number of in-person
doctor visits and permitting it to be sold through the mail.

is manufactured with a "primo proprietary blend
of nootropic and functional mushrooms.".

On June 7, the FDA warned parents to
keep their kids away from the chocolate
which is marketed as candy. .
Parents and caregivers should consider
discussing the information in this
advisory with their children and take
extra care to avoid this product being
consumed by younger people. , FDA, via statement.
Half of the victims were in
Arizona, CBS News reports. .
While these products claim to
contain only natural ingredients
and no scheduled drugs, there is
clearly something toxic occurring, Steve Dudley, director of the Arizona Poison and
Drug Information Center, via news release.

'The Independent' reports that federal health advisers are
considering a first-ever approval of MDMA, a psychedelic
drug, to treat post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The news comes after decades of
psychedelic advocates urging regulators
to give the drug medical acceptance. .
On June 4, the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) called on a group of outside experts
to review the latest MDMA research. .
The research suggests that when the drug is paired with talk therapy, it can help alleviate PTSD. .

reliability of the data, as well as the potential safety risks,
which include possible heart problems and addiction.
FDA approval could open the door for federal
approval to be granted as soon as this summer. .

ecstasy or molly, the first illegal psychedelic
to receive approval for mainstream medicine. .
