Varias explosiones derribaron dos puentes y descarrilaron dos trenes en el oeste de Rusia durante la noche, dijeron las autoridades el domingo, sin especificar qué había provocado las explosiones. En uno de los incidentes, siete personas murieron y decenas resultaron heridas.El primer puente, en la región de Bryansk en la frontera con Ucrania, colapsó sobre un tren de pasajeros el sábado, causando las víctimas. El maquinista del tren estaba entre los fallecidos, dijo la empresa estatal Ferrocarriles Rusos.
Horas después, las autoridades dijeron que un segundo tren descarriló cuando el puente por el que estaba cruzando se vino abajo en la cercana región de Kursk, que también limita con Ucrania.
En ese colapso, un tren de mercancías salió despedido de sus raíles hacia la carretera de abajo cuando la explosión derrumbó el puente, dijo el domingo el gobernador interino local, Alexander Khinshtein. El accidente provocó un incendio, pero no hubo víctimas, afirmó.Hoeg — along with Makary and Prasad — spent much of the COVID-19 pandemic criticizing the FDA’s handling of booster shots, particularly in children and young adults. All three were co-authors of a 2022 paper stating that requiring booster shots in young people would cause more harm than benefit.
Novavax isn’t the only vaccine manufacturer already affected by changing attitudes at FDA. Earlier this month, Moderna pushed back the target date for its new COVID-and-flu combination vaccine to next year after the FDA requested additional effectiveness data.As the FDA’s top official overseeing vaccines, Prasad is now in position to reverse what he recently called “a number of missteps” in how the FDA assessed the benefits and risks of COVID-19 boosters.
He questioned how much benefit yearly vaccinations continue to offer. In a podcast shortly before assuming his FDA job, Prasad suggested companies could study about 20,000 older adults in August or September to show if an updated vaccine prevented COVID-related hospitalizations.There is “legitimate debate about who should be boosted, how frequently they should be boosted and the value of boosting low-risk individuals,” said Hopkins’ Adalja. But he stressed that CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has the proper expertise to be making those decisions.
