Japan's health minister says otherwise.

They are truly desperate to prevent any alternative treatments available, no matter how modestly successful, otherwise it invalidates their EUA.

This private-public partnership (where NIH gets a royalty on vaccine tech) is an abomination.

"Japan's health minister says otherwise"

This is simply an "advisory" by the CDC... Nothing more and nothing less. On another note, who are "they"? Your comment leaves me a little confused.

An advisory saying "there's no proof it works and many people are being harmed". They are "signaling" their position and putting doctors who disagree on notice that they are acting against official advisories.

They = The public-private partnership (NIH/CDC/Pfizer/Moderna/JNJ etc) that grants themselves monopoly license AND total legal immunity. Must be nice.
