The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is meeting on December 4th and 5th.
I believe this is where they will show their alleged data indicating that children died after the COVID19 vaccine.
TBF, based on their past presentations, I am dubious of the quality and rigor.

AAP: ‘Stop wasting government resources to amplify false claims’ about vaccines, autism
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its website to include false claims linking vaccines and autism, prompting a swift rebuke from the AAP and other medical experts.

I think in a lot of cases it is projected self-hatred.
(Not saying they're closeted trans people. But I suspect most if not all have *some* deeply complicated feelings about gender that they don't want to admit or address, and this kind of overcompensation is how such feelings come out)

When I say the study of human populations needs epistemic diversity this short piece show why - thinkers from beyond the silos of demography and public health and economics are doing the WORK and we're becoming fast irrelevant. The meanings of demographic measures are why they matter.

We often say that death is the great unifier as it’s the one thing that we all have in common. But sometimes, I look around and wonder if even the after-life is segregated.”

I am not surprised that the people who want to run unethical studies to provide "evidence" for their repeatedly-debunked fictions about disease aetiology have had to eliminate the IRB
Wait, WHAT? The IRB gone. The IRB!
What an extraordinarily dangerous, harmful, unethical bunch of MAGA and MAHA lackeys we now have running US public health, healthcare, and health research; they have totally lost their moral compass (assuming they once had one?).

The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.
