Meanwhile, even if a reader takes the time to click on and read the article, they still have to scroll past two ads and a list of related stories to get to the "okay but" paragraph explaining that real scientists are highly skeptical of these new FDA claims.
But those public health experts have also pointed to the number of lives saved by the shots and to the fact that the virus caused more than a million deaths among Americans. About 2,100 children have died of Covid since the pandemic began, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The findings of the new F.D.A. review have not been published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. Dr. Paul Offit, a vaccine expert with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and a critic of Mr. Kennedy’s vaccine policies, called the memo an example of science “by press release.” He said the memo was devoid of context such as the number or rate of deaths from the virus itself among vaccinated and unvaccinated children. Dr. Offit said children with vaccine-related myocarditis showed up at the hospital, with cases that resolved quickly.
