The FDA Advisory Committee voted UNANIMOUSLY to approve annual COVID immunization for EVERYONE.
This widely anticipated decision has been criticized on FOX News by the doctors of disinformation..
One wonders how they could come to that opinion before the data was even presented.
Nevertheless, the committee reviewed the data and voted unanimously.
So who exactly is on this committee? Look at the link attached for the membership.
Among the elite on this committee of mostly infectious disease doctors was Dr. Paul Offit who has been hailed by the antivaxx movement for questioning vaccination for children.
After carefully reviewing the data, he voted to approve an annual COVID immunization.
How is it that these elite fellowship trained and board certified infectious disease physicians, nearly all of whom are of senior academic rank approved an annual COVID vaccine for EVERYONE, yet some physicians no one had ever heard of before with no infectious disease credentials are calling for an end to COVID vaccination?
These committe members are some of the top academic infectious disease doctors in the world.
Yet doctors, some of whom never even did any postgraduate training, none of whom are infectious disease doctors dominate FOX News as experts?
Why aren’t the elite Professors on TV? Why are we listening to obscure noninfectious doctors about an infectious disease?
Why? Because the antivaxx movement is a politically aligned strategy. The DJT led GOP decided somewhere along the line that an antivaxx - anti-government campaign would energize the base. A well crafted propaganda campaign that elevated obscure physicians lacking the requisite credentials to “expert” status. Ron DeathSantis has jumped on the same strategy.
Never confuse politics with medicine. The COVID antivaxx effort is political propaganda. The vaccine “controversy” is a strawman, obviously. If the best infectious disease doctors in the country vote unanimously to approve an annual COVID vaccination and you choose to believe someone who never even did a residency, you have wonder…
"The FDA Advisory Committee voted UNANIMOUSLY to approve annual COVID immunization for EVERYONE."
Not true. They voted on one question: whether to replace the monovalent product with the new bivalent product, in the existing vaccination program.
