Take out this week’s episode:
- After removing all 17 people from the Vaccine Advisory Committee, Kennedy announced that he would replace eight picks on Wednesday. Some of them lacked expertise in vaccine research and at least lacked couples about the vaccine. Meanwhile, Senator Bill Catidy, a Republican director of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that Kennedy’s actions would not touch the vaccine panel.
- In other vaccine news, the Ministry of Health and Welfare has canceled a private sector contract to explore the use of MRNA technology in the development of avian flu and HIV’s vaccine. This measure raises concerns about the development of the country and the preparation for potential health threats.
- Hundreds of NIH employees say that they will undermine the resources and mission of the institution by protesting the Trump administrative policy by stepping on the amazing stage of signing the letter known as the “Bethesda Declaration”. It is Rare that federal workers use their names to inform President Donald Trump’s concerns, as well as to express their opposition to the administration.
- The members of the National Assembly have been considering adding the Medicare change to the tax and existing budget adjustment law before the Senate, and in detail, the goal was known as “upcoding.” If a medical provider effectively inflates the diagnosis and procedures and reduces the practice of claiming more costs, the government can receive double -party support and the government can increase savings by reducing the cost of treatment.
This week, Lobener interviews Douglas Holtz-Eakin, chairman of the American Action Forum and former director of the Congress Budget Office, to discuss why CBO works and arguments.
