Is the FDA COVID-19 Booster Shot Fiasco the Beginning of the End of ‘Faucism’?
“…Dr. Anthony Fauci and his boss, NIH Director Francis Collins, appeared on five of the six Sunday shows this week. Despite the fact that we have a de facto hostage situation in Afghanistan, the Pentagon admitted to killing ten civilians in a drone strike, and 13,000 Haitians are sitting under the international bridge in Del Rio, Texas, no one from the Pentagon, the State Department, or Homeland Security is making the rounds on the news shows. This looks like an attempt at image rehabilitation after the FDA resisted political pressure to recommend COVID-19 booster shots for all Americans 16 and older.
The FDA’s decision may be a signal that the reign of Fauci is over. He told Americans that the third dose of the vaccine would provide maximum immunity. Fauci and President Biden set the expectation that all vaccinated Americans would be eligible for a booster shot. Even worse, many Americans believe they need it based on their public statements.
Having to walk back these statements is a massive hit to Fauci’s credibility. The vote, which was based on the clinical data and a risk-benefit analysis, was not even close, with 16 voting against and only two voting for the broad-based booster. The entire discussion between the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee members demonstrated that the members had more questions than answers after viewing the presentations.
Several members pointed out there was no data from Israel (which they relied on heavily) indicating that all people over 16 needed a booster. Israel’s program data only addressed boosters in people over 60 and only covered one month. Many experts were concerned with the incidence of myocarditis in young males and no clear indication of what a third dose may do to the rate of that severe side effect…”
And this special gem:
“…Dr. Arnold Monto, the acting committee chair, asked Fink if it was possible to determine at what age the side effect ceased to be a problem. Fink’s complete answer was astonishing.
“If you look at the healthcare claims data, you see that there is evidence of some attributable risk at all age groups. Although, the older you get, the higher the risk of complications from COVID that offset the risk of myocarditis. So, when you look at the balances of risk versus benefit, what we really start to see is risk of myocarditis being higher [than COVID-19] is males under age 40.”
Anchors should have asked Fauci and Collins about this revelation during every single appearance. It came from an FDA official using insurance claims data. To mandate vaccines in a population that contains a large share of the workforce and children where the risk of the disease is lower than the risks associated with the vaccine is unprecedented. It did not come up but needs to…”
