FDA Advisory Panel ADMIT That Approving Moderna Boosters Was Not Based On Science: ‘It Was Just A Gut Feeling’
En Volve ^ | 10/19/21

According to a member of the FDA’s vaccine-advisory panel who voted in favor of the plan, the FDA approved the introduction of Moderna mRNA booster shots based on “a gut feeling” rather than “really truly serious data,”

From The Wall Street Journal, “Moderna Booster Shot Backed by FDA Advisory Panel”:  

Vaccine experts advising the Food and Drug Administration voted 19 to 0 Thursday to recommend authorization of an extra dose of Moderna Inc.’s MRNA Covid-19 shot, a key step in making booster doses available to millions more people.

A vaccine-advisory panel voted in favor of giving a Moderna booster shot at least six months after the second dose, to adults 65 years and older, as well as adults under 65 who are at high risk of severe Covid-19 or serious complications because of their jobs, living conditions or underlying medical conditions.

[…] Members of the FDA’s vaccine-advisory panel supported Moderna’s booster dose even though the evidence for it was from a small study and had mixed results.

“It’s more a gut feeling rather than based on really truly serious data,” said Patrick Moore, a member of the committee and a professor of molecular genetics and biochemistry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. “The data itself is not strong, but it is certainly going in the direction that is supportive of this vote.”

In related news, the founders of Moderna just made their debuts on Forbes’ list of the 400 richest Americans.

 

Is this what they mean when they say they “follow the science”?

Feelings based vs. real science.

Perhaps it's feelings for the payday they will get for doing this?

What if that “gut feeling” was indigestion?

A very few have died. Some have been sickened. Most of us have simply been played.

Sociopath husbands beat their wives because they have a “gut feeling” she must have done something wrong.

.gov has turned into wife-beaters.

Gee, I thought is was to further perpetrate the myth and make it easier to seize power and control (and perhaps something even more nefarious).

I wonder if the story is accurate, or an early attempt at a defense, or simply fabricated.

Aren’t human beings amazing critters - they must have a built-in clock - a man 64 years old doesn’t normally need a booster but a man 65 years old does!

And who needs a doctor when bureaucrats can make medical decisions for you!

I heard during 80s that Anne Gorsuch - then head of EPA used the same logic by looking at scratches she made on menu to arbitrarily draw a line separating sites that would appear on the nation’s most polluted “National Priority List.”
