ICYMI: Last night @jeremyfaust.bsky.social revealed that Drs. Makary and Prasad of the FDA have lied to all of us with their claims that COVID19 vaccines “killed 10 children”.
The scientists that did the work found that there were ZERO deaths that they could be certain were caused by the vaccines.

Scoop: FDA vaccine chief’s memo cited 10 pediatric Covid-19 vaccine deaths—but the agency’s own analysis found 0–7.
Dr. Vinay Prasad circulated a memo before FDA scientists finished their work. His conclusions overshot what the agency’s own analysts ultimately found.

The only reason Olivia Nuzzi is of any actual interest is that she should face absolute rejection for her active complicity in helping RFK Jr, given that he is deranged, and has landed in the most dangerous role he could possibly have, and children are dying because of it, and will continue to die.
There is blood on the hands of Donald Trump, RFK, and every Republican who has allowed this sham to go on for far too long. When kids die unnecessarily and once-eradicated diseases darken the doors of terrified families and pediatricians, Americans will know who is responsible.
