Ugh.

In a social media post, Mr. Kennedy said the approvals accomplished the goals of keeping vaccines available to people who want them and of demanding that companies conduct placebo-controlled trials. One new, required study would examine “post-Covid-19 vaccination syndrome” in patients, a condition that has been noted in at least one small preliminary medical report, but is still a matter of pitched debate.

Also no mention of healthcare workers? My hospital is only mandatory flu vaccine, however, those working in patient facing should have access to the covid vaccine if they want.

They don't care about healthcare workers I'm afraid.
