reshuffled thereafter. CDC politically appointed head Walenski overrode them with much pressure from the Biden admin...in an move that I cannot ever remember having happened - esp on such a clear cut result. of their chosen experts opinions.
That vote was on the booster. if you understand why they voted the booster down, you would understand the diminishing returns of a vaccine at younger ages with COVID. The same data and reasoning applies to children.
Basically, the risk of the vaccine death in the 15-19 female age group equals the risk of the COVID death (0.02%). In men 15-19, there is still a higher risk of death from COVID than vaccine (0.003% to 0.002%). Below that, younger ages didn't make sense from the standpoint of the children alone.
In children they cut the dose, but the problem is that most COVID deaths aren't dose related. Because of this, the usual benefit to risk ratio that we hope to see before recommending vaccines isn't there....but the Biden Admin wants a different result, and they are fast culling their experts.
This was why Fauci needed to go. Many professionals themselves no no longer trust these govt entities because of it. Not just me.
I am following the medical science here, while you follow your political narrative and need to not be wrong.
