Dr. Marty Makary assesses the Biden administration's process for recommending that children ages 5-11 get a COVID vaccine booster shot.
Well, again the Biden administration's FDA was completely bypassed in convening their technical experts, their advisory committee. These are the top vaccine experts in the country. Many had signaled that they're not on board with this recommendation to give a booster to 24 million 5 through 11-year-olds.
They did that with Dr. Martin Kulldorff from Harvard last year, and the conversation was incredible. There was no clinical data to support the booster for 5 to 11-year-olds. Instead, they cited a small study done by Pfizer of 140 children in that age group looking at no outcomes, but instead the antibody bump you get after the booster. And the committee actually said, we want a simple message.
