FDA Issues Nyxoah an Approvable Letter for its Genio® System
Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium – March 26, 2025, 8:00am CET / 3:00am ET – Nyxoah SA (Euronext Brussels/Nasdaq: NYXH)
('Nyxoah' or the 'Company'), that develops breakthrough treatment alternatives for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) through neuromodulation, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Approvable Letter regarding the Company's Pre-Market Approval (PMA) application for the Genio® system.
The Approvable Letter means that Nyxoah's application for marketing the device in the United States substantially meets the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the FDA's PMA implementing regulations codified at 21 C.F.R. Part 814, and the FDA will approve the application subject to satisfactory completion of a manufacturing facilities, methods and controls review. The Company will work closely with the FDA to address these requests and is committed to bringing this innovative therapy to U.S. patients.
'The FDA has reviewed our submission and determined that it substantially meets the requirements for approval: the FDA's Approvable Letter included no further questions on the clinical data or biocompatibility that support the submission,' commented Olivier Taelman, Nyxoah's Chief Executive Officer. 'We are still on the right track to make Genio available to U.S. patients suffering from OSA.'
This decision does not impact Genio's CE Mark or ongoing commercial activities in Europe, where the device is approved for both Complete Concentric Collapse (CCC) and non-CCC patients.

Americans Reject Fall COVID Shot, Don't Trust CDC Or FDA
A new KFF (formerly known as the Kaiser Family Foundation) poll reveals that the majority of Americans do not intend to get the COVID-19 vaccine this fall, and less than half trust the CDC or FDA to ensure vaccine safety. The nationwide erosion of confidence in federal health agencies and their pharmaceutical partnerships is welcomed by those who have long called for accountability, transparency, and the restoration of informed consent in American Say 'No' to COVID Vaccine According to the KFF Health Tracking Poll on Health Information and Trust, conducted July 8–14, 2025: 59% of U.S. adults say they will either 'definitely not' or 'probably not' receive a COVID-19 vaccine this fall. Only 21% say they will 'definitely get' the shot. Republicans are the least likely to receive the vaccine, with 59% stating they will 'definitely not' take it. Among White adults, 42% say they will 'definitely not' get the shot. These findings follow a growing body of evidence discrediting the effectiveness and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines. 📊 Americans Say 'No' to COVID Shot as Trust in CDC, FDA Crumbles🚨 59% of Americans refuse the fall COVID jab📉 Fewer than half trust CDC/FDA on vaccine safety🧠 Even The Hill is admitting it—kind ofIn this report, I break down the KFF poll, the media spin, RFK Jr.'s… — Jon Fleetwood (@JonMFleetwood) August 5, 2025 A recent JAMA Health Forum study admitted that the shots 'saved far fewer lives than first thought,' especially in younger shots have been linked to 38,709 deaths, 221,030 hospitalizations, and a total of 1,665,264 injuries—though these numbers represent less than 1% of actual adverse events, according to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services-commissioned report by Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare. These staggering figures may help explain why a clear majority of Americans are now refusing the shot. Just 49% of U.S. adults say they have confidence in federal health agencies like the CDC and FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of vaccines approved for use in the U.S. Only 42% believe these agencies make decisions based on science rather than the personal views of agency officials. Just 37% believe the CDC and FDA act independently, without influence from outside interests. These numbers reflect the ongoing fallout from the COVID-19 response, which congressional investigators recently confirmed involved the CDC and White House using 'deeply flawed' messaging and 'overpromising' vaccine safety 'without evidence.' This collapse in public trust is unsurprising given the government's admitted reliance on arbitrary '6-feet' distancing rules, unproven mask mandates, and harmful lockdowns—none of which were grounded in transparent science, but all of which inflicted lasting damage on public health, the economy, and institutional credibility, according to a two-year investigation by the Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. Public awareness of recent changes to U.S. vaccine policy remains limited, despite multiple headlines since the appointment of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—likely due to mainstream media blackout, institutional resistance, and a legacy press unwilling to cover reforms that threaten the pharmaceutical establishment. (This is why independent media is so important.) 52% say RFK Jr. has made changes to U.S. vaccine policy. Only 26% describe those changes as 'major.' 40% say they don't know enough to characterize the changes. Among parents, confusion is also evident: In fact, the CDC's updated guidance does not formally recommend the shot for healthy children, stating the decision should be made between the provider and the family. 48% are unsure whether federal agencies are currently recommending the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy children this fall. When asked whether RFK Jr.'s changes will make Americans safer: 36% said the changes will make people less safe. 20% said they will make people safer. 31% said they don't know enough to say. 13% believe the changes will not make a difference. The response is largely partisan: 62% of Democrats say RFK Jr.'s changes make people less safe. 41% of Republicans say the changes will make people safer. This split comes despite Kennedy's sweeping reforms—including pulling the CDC's COVID shot recommendation for children and pregnant women, banning mercury in flu vaccines, blocking the WHO's pandemic treaty, defunding Gates-linked GAVI, ending coercive hospital vaccine incentives, and firing all 17 members of the CDC's vaccine advisory panel—each a bold move to restore public health integrity and medical freedom. However, health realists are still waiting for Kennedy to pull the deadly COVID shots from the market. The most trusted source for vaccine information remains personal healthcare providers: 83% of Americans say they trust their doctor 'a great deal' or 'a fair amount.' Trust in government entities is notably lower: CDC: 57% Local public health departments: 62% State government officials: 43% HHS Secretary RFK Jr.: 37% However, RFK Jr. holds strong support among Republicans: 70% of Republicans trust RFK Jr. for vaccine information. Among MAGA-aligned Republicans, that figure rises to 77%. By contrast, only 11% of Democrats say they trust RFK Jr. Among adults who do plan to get the COVID-19 vaccine this fall, concerns about access are more common. But for the general population: Only 33% are concerned the vaccine might not be available. Only 34% of insured adults are concerned their insurance might not cover it. Among those unlikely to get the shot, concerns about access are negligible: Just 11% worry about vaccine availability. Only 14% are concerned about insurance coverage. This poll comes as the FDA expands its fast-track drug approval pipeline, clearing drugs for use in as little as 30 days. The agency has also confirmed plans to bypass normal clinical trial requirements for a new bird flu vaccine, using the same Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) pathway as it did with the COVID shots. In this regulatory environment, the KFF data reflects what many have long warned: Americans are rejecting medical coercion, questioning agency integrity, and demanding informed consent. The message from the American people is clear: we're done being lied to, we're done being experimented on, and we're done trusting captured agencies to protect us—this is the beginning of a public health reckoning, and it's long overdue.

UAE Markets Free Of Salmonella-Contaminated Pistachio Spread
The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), in coordination with local regulatory authorities, has confirmed that the product 'Spread Pistachio Cacao Cream With Kadayef' under the Emek brand, which is manufactured outside the UAE, is not available in local markets. The product has been marketed as a chocolate inspired by the flavors of Dubai Chocolate. The ministry clarified that the widely known and available Dubai Chocolate products sold in the UAE are free from any Salmonella contamination. This clarification follows a statement issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which confirmed that the affected product is limited to US markets. The ministry emphasized that the warning refers to a product being marketed under the Dubai Chocolate label, stressing that this product — manufactured abroad — is merely inspired by the distinctive flavours associated with the original Dubai Chocolate, a name commonly referring to the products of FIX Dessert Chocolatier, a Dubai-based brand known for its luxurious chocolates infused with flavors inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine. These products are subject to the highest safety and quality standards. The ministry reiterated its ongoing commitment to monitoring food safety and protecting public health, in coordination with all relevant authorities. An American retail company had recently recalled a batch of Dubai Chocolate due to concerns over possible Salmonella contamination. The FDA published the recall notice and upgraded its risk level to Class I — the most serious classification. According to the FDA notice, the company World Market recalled the 'Emek Spread Pistachio CaCao Cream With Kadayef' product due to possible Salmonella contamination. The affected items were distributed between June 11 and July 9, 2025. The recall was initiated after product samples tested positive for Salmonella during routine FDA inspections. The recall was first issued on July 14 and was escalated to a Class I recall three days later, as reported by Newsweek magazine. Salmonella is a pathogen that can cause serious, and sometimes fatal, infections — particularly in young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. According to the American company's statement, healthy individuals infected with Salmonella may experience symptoms such as fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The statement added: 'In rare cases, the infection may spread to the bloodstream and lead to more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (e.g., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, or arthritis.' Although the recall was prompted by positive test results for Salmonella, no illnesses have been reported to date. Dubai Chocolate, a pistachio and kadayef-filled chocolate bar, gained viral popularity on TikTok in 2024. The original chocolate bar was created by FIX Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai but has since been replicated and modified by various brands, including Emek Gıda, whose product was affected by the current recall. FIX Dessert Chocolatier, a dessert brand founded in Dubai by Sara Hammouda, originated the pistachio-kadayef chocolate bar concept. Renowned Filipino pastry chef Noel Katis was brought on board by FIX to help develop the bar, which has since seen widespread popularity. Last month, the UK's Food Standards Agency reported that certain Dubai-style chocolates sold in UK retail markets may not comply with national standards and could contain banned additives or colorants.
