This article by Tracey Hoeg and Leslie Bienen has a number of issues, some of which are quite overt.
Since I work in vaccine advocacy and have been promoting pediatric COVID vaccination for a while, I wanted to write a quick response. tabletmag.com/sections/scien…
The core of this article is the idea that we haven't run a large enough clinical trial to know if these vaccines work in kids under 5. They weren't powered to detect severe outcome differences.
Except... that wasn't the basis on which they were authorized. It was immunobridging.

Of all the concerns behind refusal, potential long-term effects of mRNA vaccines are the most persistent.
Since we've been giving them out for a year now, the possibility of an unforeseen risk is the last holdout for some...
Here's why that risk is *incredibly* small 🧵 (PT. 1)
First, some context.
When people bring up "long-term effects," the concern usually comes from one of two places.
1⃣ The fact that biology is complex and so interference could have unintended consequences.
2⃣ Specific scientists claiming that mRNA vaccines will later hurt us.
