can’t find a single video (of many) that is available to watch. all say “unavailable”, taken down by Fox. most interesting exchange I heard all week. a couple of minor typos in the transcript:

29 Oct: TheCalifornianSun: ‘Ingraham Angle’ on vaccine mandates
(This is a rush transcript of “Ingraham Angle” on October 28, 2021. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.)
(SCROLL DOWN) INGRAHAM: As health officials rush to vaccinate kids and shame those who do not want to do so, what about the actual numbers of child deaths? Statistician Emma Woodhouse, she took a look under the hood of the CDC data, and noticed something fishy. So while the CDC claims there have been nearly 750 deaths among the zero to 17 cohort, the National Center for Health Statistics shows just 558. Now, while every single one of these fatalities is tragic, of course, inflating the stats by 37 percent, why are they doing that? It could have major policy consequences.

Here now is Phil Kerpen, president of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, and Dr. Peter McCullough, internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist based in Dallas. Phil, why is the risk to kids being inflated? What point does this serve?

PHIL KERPEN, PRESIDENT, THE COMMITTEE TO UNLEASH PROSPERITY: I think it does two things. One, it keeps the fear narrative and the control from the government alive a little bit longer. But two, I think, which is much more important at this point, it justifies the otherwise indefensible bad decisions that are (our) politicians and our public health officials have made over the last year-and-a-half, two years. Rather than acknowledge error, they are trying to overstate the risk and the dangers to children to justify the massive disruptions to their lives, the educational harms, the mental health harms, everything else that they’ve imposed to this point.

And the director of the CDC should know that the verified death certificate-based count from the National Center for Health Statistics is the official count, and that the tracker is just whatever the states have submitted, that it gets revised all the time, that it has frequent errors. So the fact that she would pull that tracker number — if it wasn’t deliberate deception, then she doesn’t know her own data really at all, which I think would be even worse.

INGRAHAM: she’s one of the least convincing people in an administration chockfull of the least convincing people. Dr. McCullough, what is really disturbing, I think, is that all of the media types and politicians who are celebrating this new vaccination campaign for the young kids.

DR. PETER MCCULLOUGH, MD, MPH, INTERNIST AND CARDIOLOGIST: It’s what I call vaccine hubris. None of the vaccines work well enough or safe enough to be taken up in such a hubris. They are certainly not good enough to be mandated in any way, shape, or form. And parents should be aware that Tracy Hoeg from the University of California at Davis has published that a child is more likely to be hospitalized with myocarditis then be hospitalized with COVID-19 respiratory illness. So taking the vaccine is not a favorable trade-off. And Ron Kostoff has published an analysis, and these have both been presented to the FDA, that a child unfortunately is more likely to die after the vaccine then actually die with COVID-19, the respiratory illness. So it’s not a favorable trade-off to have children vaccinated. The American College of Pediatrics has that number you just mentioned. It’s actually at 499 in their report.

INGRAHAM: It’s even lower.

MCCULLOUGH: And what we know about that is that it’s almost always in children who have serious underlying illnesses.

INGRAHAM: And yet they are not really tracking that number and those statistics as clearly as they could be tracked. In other ways, dying with COVID, not necessarily from COVID, correct, Doctor?

MCCULLOUGH: Yes, that is exactly right. What we really need to understand, I think in Marty Makary’s analysis, there was only one child in the whole country who die directly of COVID. What I know about these cases is that the children are not adequately treated. And we have great news. We’ve just had a randomized child (study?) come with monoclonal antibody, there was an 85 percent risk reduction in hospitalization and death. This product has been EUA since May, and it could be used in children all the way down to age 12.

INGRAHAM: That is great news. Gentlemen, thank you...
