Wow! 👇
secondary endpoint
potential for infinite looks at data
yet still, scant events (50?) of dubious clinical value (some asx?)
Plus other issues, including durability discussed in video

But postponing/ flip flopping is going to poison vax confidence

White house should not have pressured FDA on boosters
Gruber and Kraus should still be there
Politics cannot dictate vaccine approval
This is a total fiasco
This administration is doing serious, serious damage to vaccine confidence
The backlash will hurt a lot of people

States will get rid of good programs to encourage routine childhood immunization
Vaccines become even more political
This administration does not have a plan here
They should have awknowledged natural immunity
and tried for just 1 dose in people with no prior NI

Instead they overrode advisory panel to boost 20 year olds and 12 year olds. Totally illogical

And they tried to push through a failed trial, only to back off later.

What are they thinking? These actions have serious consequences

I don't want to live in a world with greater vaccine hesitancy

I also don't want to live in a world where politicians approve vaccines and push out regulators with decades of experience

I don't want to live in a world where Paul Offit disagrees with vax mandates

thats bad
