Here Is My Live Blog for Today’s ACIP Meeting, and Some Comments First

After top CDC officials said yesterday they were not adding COVID vaccines to the childhood schedule yet, today they added them. Not really a surprise, but it was both sneaky and remarkably bold. There were so many extraordinary goings on at this meeting, entirely apart from the braindead members and briefers who wanted to inject everyone for everything they might someday encounter somewhere.

After top CDC officials said yesterday they were not adding COVID vaccines to the childhood schedule yet, today they added them. Not really a surprise, but it was both sneaky and remarkably bold.

There were so many extraordinary goings on at this meeting, entirely apart from the braindead members and briefers who wanted to inject everyone for everything they might someday encounter somewhere.

One very peculiar thing was that the FDA ex-officio member (usually Doran Fink) did not show up at either of the two meeting days. It was a zoom meeting; surely SOMEONE at FDA could have zoomed in? Was this a snub because CDC had decided to put a vaccine on the childhood schedule before it was even licensed by FDA? Was CDC doing an end run around even the minimalist FDA regulatory processes now occurring?

And then there were the bizarre vaccines being discussed. Several before they were licensed.
