Either the members of the advisory panel are fully aware of the fact that these shots are of no benefit to kids or they are dumber than a box of hair. I believe it’s the former. Fifteen to zero?? GMAFB. So why recommend to add the shot to the immunization schedule? This is 100% about shielding the manufacturers from liability. It has nothing to do with public health. As with school closures and nearly 2 years of mask mandates, once again, our kids are being thrown under the bus.

Why shouldn’t we believe these people are on the take?

Who would vote "no" under such circumstances, knowing it would destroy their career?

Someone who is about to retire or resign. Even those people are afraid to jeopardize their pensions.

Someone with a spine.

Someone who cares about the health of children and their fellow citizens.

Someone who realizes that the whole point of their position on such a board is to make the very tough calls.

Someone who cares more about good medicine than their career.

Hell if they thought they would be the only voice of dissent, then speak loud and get a book deal when they get ran out of the board room.

Evil previals when good people do nothing.

(My comment...rant...is not directed at you Terry, but all the people who don't see the danger of going along to get along or deny the slippery slope of incremental power grabs and corruption. Neither happen in big steps until its too late to stop.)

In other words someone with integrity.

Absolutely! It seems to me integrity is a lost value, or at least undervalued in the US these days.

One of my favorite quotes is "we are who we are in the dark" and pops into my mind every time I have a tough decision to make.
