Should the COVID EUAs Finally Be Revoked?
-
It’s been over five years since the COVID-19 Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) were enacted under the PREP Act. The original emergency is long over—Biden’s administration declared it officially ended in May 2023. Yet somehow, thanks to a quiet extension by HHS Secretary Becerra in March 2023, hundreds of EUA products are still authorized under the guise of a public health threat that no longer exists.
This includes:
All mRNA vaccines for children under 12 (none are fully FDA approved)
– Remdesivir for children
– Multiple diagnostic tools and PPE
– Even the Novavax vaccine, still EUA-only
The PREP Act was supposed to be temporary emergency policy—not a permanent legal loophole.
My question for the forum: Should the incoming administration immediately revoke all COVID-related EUAs and terminate the PREP Act emergency provisions once and for all?
Please reply with a short “yes” or “no,” and a sentence why. Let’s keep the thread active and focused!

It’s long past time to deal with the core problem that persists from the Covid era: the remaining EUA and the PREP Act.
