Biden Rocked Over Latest Decision
Biden is catching heat for this.
President Biden and the FDA are now under fire after they gave the green light on allowing children to get vaccinated with the booster shot without convening with a panel of advisors before making the decision.
According to Fox Business, Dr. Marty Makary, chief of the Johns Hopkins Islet Transplant Center, stated, “Dear President Biden, FDA is bypassing it’s scientific advisors to authorize boosters for all kids 12-15 next week. This is unconscionable – undermines the integrity of the FDA’s standard process! Please require FDA to put this authorize [sic] before the VRBPAC advisory comm for a vote!”
Furthermore, the Vaccine and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted to not give boosters to anyone unless they were over the age of 65 or to those who were susceptible to severe illness last September. They believed there was not enough evidence that boosters were safe for younger people.
“We’re being asked to approve this as a three-dose vaccine for people 16 years of age and older, without any clear evidence if the third dose for a younger person when compared to an elderly person is of value,” committee member Dr. Paul Offit said.
“It is a slap in the face to science for @US_FDA to circumvent the standard convening of the expert advisory board… FDA is quietly doing this because their experts previously voted it down, voicing concerns about medical harms,” Makary further noted.
