"The cancellation means that the government is discarding what could be one of the most effective and rapid tools to combat an avian influenza outbreak," said Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, adding that it is the opposite approach Trump took with Operation Warp Speed to combat COVID-19.

I am not a yank and am unfamiliar with the health system customs of The Burger Reich, but if I am not mistaken it just means that insurance companies won't cover the covid shot since the FDA no longer "recommends" it. You can probably still get the shot but would just have to pay out of pocket? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This is still unconscionable of course, and disproportionately affects the disadvantaged, but I don't think they made it illegal or anything (yet) ?
