As abortion continues to dominate the political discussion in the US and at least half of the 50 states move toward outlawing the procedure in response to last summer’s Supreme Court decision that it is not a constitutional right, conservative and religious groupings are pushing for a ban on sales of the oral abortifacient Mifeprex. (mifepristone).
AstraZeneca (AZ) has announced it is permanently backing away from any plans to sell its Vaxzevria-branded Covid-19 vaccine in the US.
It took longer than expected, but the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 13 finally granted an Emergency Authorization (EUA) to Nuaxovid, the protein-based sCovid-19 shot developed by Novavax.
In the wake of the US Supreme Court’s recent overturn of Roe v. Wade, a 50-year-old decision by an earlier team of justices that guarantees women the right terminate a pregnancy, attention has turned to the so-called morning-after pill mifepristone – which remains legal for now – and easier access to birth control.
