Daily Wire investigative reporter Meg Brock is here to talk about what she's uncovered.

Morning Wire
Iran Response Imminent? & 'Gender Surgeon' Scrutinized | 2.19.26

Great to have you back on the show, Meg.

Morning Wire
Iran Response Imminent? & 'Gender Surgeon' Scrutinized | 2.19.26

So what have you learned about what's happening in Washington state?

Morning Wire
Iran Response Imminent? & 'Gender Surgeon' Scrutinized | 2.19.26

Now, in your report, you highlight how this surgeon was given a national spotlight for bringing genital surgery to small-town America, correct?

Morning Wire
Iran Response Imminent? & 'Gender Surgeon' Scrutinized | 2.19.26

Well, as you've shown, just in this one state, millions of dollars being funneled to these surgeries.

Moderna is feeling some whiplash after the FDA reversed its decision to not review the company's new flu vaccine.

Morning Wire
Iran Response Imminent? & 'Gender Surgeon' Scrutinized | 2.19.26

Yeah, the Food and Drug Administration has decided it will allow Moderna to move forward with its new mRNA flu vaccine.

Morning Wire

The agency had blocked it last week, much to Moderna's surprise, but allowed it to move forward again after the pharma company agreed to additional testing.

Morning Wire

What will happen now is the FDA will review Moderna's application for the vaccine, which Moderna wants to bring to market later this year for the 2026-2027 flu season.

Morning Wire

But now the vaccine is expected to be brought to market in two phases.

Morning Wire
Iran Response Imminent? & 'Gender Surgeon' Scrutinized | 2.19.26

The first for people 65 and older through a process of accelerated approval, which will allow it to move forward with limited evidence.

Morning Wire

The vaccine for that cohort can later get full approval with more tests.

Morning Wire
Iran Response Imminent? & 'Gender Surgeon' Scrutinized | 2.19.26

And after those are completed, the vaccine will be released for adults ages 50 to 64 as well, assuming the results of those tests come back positive.

Morning Wire
Iran Response Imminent? & 'Gender Surgeon' Scrutinized | 2.19.26

From the FDA's perspective, this was all about testing to begin with.

Morning Wire
Iran Response Imminent? & 'Gender Surgeon' Scrutinized | 2.19.26

The head of vaccines for the FDA, Vinay Prasad, initially blocked Moderna's application for review because he said Moderna's clinical trials had not compared its vaccine to the best flu shot available on the market.

Morning Wire

And this kind of back and forth seems to be the new normal under the FDA under Dr. Marty McCary, who has been saying for months now that the era of rubber stamping vaccines for pharma companies is now over.

Morning Wire

Yeah, ultra-processed foods have become standard in the American diet in recent decades, and they make up a whole slew of normal grocery store items, such as soft drinks and packaged snacks, to most cereals and deli meats.

RFK has called them poison.
