Today marks 20 years since the publication of The Kite Runner. I am so proud to announce the publication of this special edition to commemorate its anniversary.
Moderna should have added more people to their study of 50 people. That’s the only way to know if the adverse event they reported is a true warning signal, before the new vaccine was recommended to 300 million people yesterday
What if I told you 1 in 50 people who took a new medication had a "medically-attended adverse event" and the manufacturer refused to disclose what the complication was, would you take it? And what if the theoretical benefit only lasted for a 3-mo window after which time the benefit is gone? and that the FDA cleared it without any human outcomes data, would you take it? and that European regulators are not universally recommending the same medication for everyone as the CDC is? and that Drs. Ashish Jha and Mandy Cohen are making unsupported claims that it reduces hospitalizations, long-Covid, and makes you less likely to spead Covid (if the manufacturers made those same claims they could be fined by the FDA for making false marketing claims beyond it's approved indication)
That's the new Moderna Covid vaccine. FDA or Moderna (I can't tell the difference sometimes) should disclose the details of the clinical trial complication rather than keeping it secret.
Rochelle Walensky testified in front of Congress that we did not have Equipoise to run trials of masking kids
We show how that was absolutely false in our new piece
She failed the American people by recommending masking 2 year olds without data.
Sad

FDA should have rejected these data:
▪️Pfizer's new vaccine was approved based on 10 mice (no human data)
▪️Moderna's new vax was tested in 50 people tracked for just 2wks. One person had an adverse event requiring med attention-Moderna provided no details

You had many more years,” he said.
“I didn’t want them.”
“But they wanted you. Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be an answer to
your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future.”
“What’s that?”
“Hope". @MitchAlbom thanks
