This statement is patently false, as you yourself admit in the next clause.

Thank you, I wasn't aware of that definition.

The facts: - FDA policy now limits readily approved boosters only to people over 65 or those with high-risk conditions. - The CDC officially removed routine COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women in May 2025. - The FDA adopted a stricter “vaccination regulatory framework” requiring randomized controlled trials for new boosters aimed at low-risk populations. - Across HHS and CDC, there have been substantial layoffs—around 20% in FDA and CDC—alongside overhauls that have disrupted pandemic preparedness programs and health agency capacity. Your friendly check on the shitty times we live in. Good luck with Covid, MAGA doesn't believe in vaccines.

Do the previous randomized controlled trials meet the new criteria?

Good question. Answer is probably yes. They were proven safe at the time. But of course this requires quite a lot of additional evidence, datasets, etc. And likely it would require Phase IV trials against large populations. Very expensive. These vaccine-denying Repubs will find a way.
