FDA vaccine advisers ‘disappointed’ and ‘angry’ that early data about new Covid-19 booster shot wasn’t presented for review last year

Some vaccine advisers to the federal government say they’re “disappointed” and “angry” that government scientists and the pharmaceutical company Moderna didn’t present a set of infection data on the company’s new Covid-19 booster during meetings last year when the advisers discussed whether the shot should be authorized and made available to the public.

That data suggested the possibility that the updated booster might not be any more effective at preventing Covid-19 infections than the original shots.

The data was early and had many limitations, but several advisers told CNN that they were concerned about a lack of transparency.

US taxpayers spent nearly $5 billion on the new booster, which has been given to more than 48.2 million people in the US.

“I was angry to find out that there was data that was relevant to our decision that we didn’t get to see,” said Dr. Paul Offit, a member of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, a group of external advisers that helps the FDA make vaccine decisions. “Decisions that are made for the public have to be made based on all available information – not just some information, but all information.”

At a meeting of this FDA advisory group in June and a meeting in September of a panel that advises the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the experts were presented with reams of information indicating that the new vaccine worked better than the one already on shelves, according to a review of videos and transcripts of those meetings and slide presentations made by Moderna, CDC and FDA officials.

That data – called immunogenicity data – was based on blood work done on study participants to assess how well each vaccine elicited antibodies that fight off the Omicron strain of the virus...

Reposted because this can’t be repeated enough...

Government is basically made to kill people. That’s one thing they do very well. Why was the U.S. federal government created in the 1780’s? To kill people. Only the people it was created to kill were those of any foreign country that would invade America. The Feds were created to protect the people of America.

But the government is like a wolf on a chain guarding the hen house. The chain is to keep the wolf from turning on the hens in the hen house. In this case, the chain is the Constitution limiting the power of the feds. The feds have broken their chain. We’re the hens. We’re in trouble.

Here’s a little diddy about all of this…

Deciphered-—”we’re [still] scamming the public and we don’t care”

Would CNN be considered spreading “misinformation”?.

[Allegra]

LOL - good song parody.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Is this the data from the 8 mice?

"...several advisers told CNN that they were concerned about a lack of transparency."

Then why weren't these "advisors" screaming Holy Hell about it? Were they just "concerned" and went home to a nice dinner with the family, keeping their mouths shut? Why weren't they urging a slower roll-out and more safety measures? Why haven't they been screaming about the safety "signals" that have become so obvious?

Asking to see today what you revoked others professional licenses from people trying to show you.

At best they just admitted to incompetence. More realistically conspiracy to defraud.

“Decisions that are made for the public have to be made based on all available information...”

Don’t worry, you’re not making decisions for us anymore, because we don’t trust you.

[ConservativeMind]

“There should always be full transparency,” said Dr. Arnold Monto, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and acting chair of the FDA advisers’ group. “These data should not be dismissed. They are early, but they indicate that we need to look at them and see what their value is.”

ROTFL!!

This didn't matter to them before, so why then?

[OHPatriot]

“Don’t worry, you’re not making decisions for us anymore, because we don’t trust you.”

THAT is so true!!!

That “trust” will come back on Feb 30th. Medical profession you pick the year.

BS. They are just trying to escape any responsibility for their corrupt actions. If they were the so called experts, they would have demanded the information. Instead they just dropped their pants, bent over and accepted payment.

They’re shocked, just shocked I tell ya!

[MortMan]

As subject matter experts, it is their job to know when data that is required is missing. They didn’t identify the miss at that time, but now don’t want to have any responsibility for not doin their job.
