FDA shuts down anti-vax lawyer's petition to end Moderna and J&J EUAs

Despite the efforts of a law firm leading the charge on the anti-vaccination movement, the emergency use authorization for Moderna and J&J’s Covid-19 vaccines will not be revoked, the agency said in a response letter Monday.

The FDA said so in a letter to an anti-vax lawyer based in New York City. Aaron Siri, from Siri & Glimstad, requested in a formal petition that the EUAs granted to Moderna and J&J be revoked after weeks of back-and-forth email correspondence with Peter Marks, Lorrie McNeill and others at the FDA.
