I want Kasie Hunt around during my next fight with my wife. When she says, “I never said that!” I’ll turn to Kasie and say, “Play the clip.”

“Trump health officials plan to link coronavirus vaccines to the deaths of 25 children as they consider limiting which Americans should get theshots, according to four people familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe confidential information.

The findings appear to be based on information submitted to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, which contains unverified reports of side effects or bad experiences with vaccines submitted by anyone, including patients, doctors, pharmacists or even someone who sees a report on social media. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasizes that the database is not designed to assess whether a shot caused a death, a conclusion that requires thorough investigations by scientists and public health professionals.


Trump health officials plan to include the pediatric deaths claim in a presentation next week to an influential panel of advisers to the CDC that is considering new coronavirus vaccine recommendations, which affect access to the shots and whether they’re free.…”

If the FDA has reliable information about preventable deaths caused by a product they approved that changes the product’s risk-benefit calculation, they shouldn’t be presenting it to ACIP, they should be adding a contraindication or black box to the label. They’re literally the agency that decides how these products are approved. They don’t need ACIP at all.

This is being done this way because they know the evidence is weak by normal standards but is useful to score performative points with MAHA through a public hearing.

It’s also coming after Prasad sent a memo to Pfizer underscoring the need (in his view) for randomized controlled trials to assess the efficacy of COVID vaccines and large trials to assess the benefit/risk of co-administration of various vaccines to align to “gold standard science.”
