FDA vaccine advisers 'angry'. Decision on almost $5B in new Covid boosters last year, based on proxy antibody stats only, while real patient data showed it worked worse than the last, but wasn't given for review

Bullshit. They were fully aware of what they were voting on. They just didn't care that it was poison.

If only this sort of data were publicly available before they met oh wait it was and they are derelict in their duty and should seppuku on tv to apologize

These are serious guys who don't want to just glance at a study, they need considerable time to review it. They had 22 pages of of data given to them at a reasonable time, which they had seriously reviewed, but this crappy study was only 3 days old and suspiciously made up the bulk of the pro-acceptance presentations that suckered them.

Dr. Stephen Hoge (president of Moderna) and Dr. Jerry Weir (head FDA Viral Products) both gave presentations to the FDA advisor panel, specifically referring to the good sounding parts of that new non-peer reviewed study (the better antibody counts)...

.... but neither mentioned the bad real world results part of the study showing it worse. The FDA guy's presentation stated there was no real wold result yet, in his cautions, while touting the antibody part. The FDA guy, and likely the Moderna guy too, cautioned heavily that the cherry picked part of the study was very preliminary giving tons of disclaimers, while not mention the other part existed.

They recommended a gene therapy for toddlers based on a study of eight mice that all got covid after they were jabbed. These are fundamentally un-serious people at the FDA advisory panel!

Several of them resigned when they decided to recommend vaccines for children without safety data. Apparently, we have only the crappy advisory panel people left, but at least they complained a little. probably wiping their tears with $100 bills.
