Confession. My very first job (well business) was with a friend in middle school. She was a magician, and I was her clown assistant. Silent. we did kids parties, small events, even a grocery store opening. Made real money. We were pretty successful for 12/13 yo’s!

Most of the professional clowns I know personally believe in science and vaccines.

Fair!
It’s been pointed out to me that clowns are seasoned professionals that work very hard on their shows and comparing the current ACIP to them is inappropriate.

Just look at them under a microscope. They're plainly up to something nefarious.

I'll save the stories about Lynn Drosophila Throckmorton for another day.

Meet the head of a federal panel expected to upend the childhood vaccine schedule later this week. Dr. Kirk Milhoan believes that Covid was made in North Carolina and deployed to China as a bioweapon ... among other conspiracy theories. www.ms.now/news/rfk-jr-...

I spoke with Ian Lopez at Bloomberg about Kirk Milhoan

I said Milhoan has made “deeply irresponsible, dangerous, untrue claims about the COVID-19 vaccine, which I believe make him entirely unsuitable to chair ACIP.”

Oh FFS, I found it. Vaccine made by culturing yeast, maybe possibly yeast has some connection to IBD, so QED vaccines cause IBD. What a quack.

Not only did he cut people off, he let people like Levi and Griffin run out the clock with nonsense, hateful speech, falsehoods, and pseudoscience.

WTF was that segment about s cerevisiae? It’s fucking yeast! Ubiquitous! In bread, beer, fruits, your backyard, … I’ve used them as a model organism. My incubator smelled like bread. Or beer if they’d been growing to long without a media change. what she was saying made absolutely no sense!

Buckle down, because I had free time last weekend and I decided to look at publicly available data for myself.

We are cooked, as the kids say.
The fact that CBER's chair does not understand the difference between pneumonia and pneumococcal is embarrassing. And not knowing that and still thinking he knows enough to assess the way the vaccines are testing - or the evidence about their effectiveness - is empty arrogance.
