The FDA Failed In Its Duty To Ensure Vaccines Are Safe For Children

In a shocking on-video admission, Dr. Eric Ruben, an advisory committee member to the FDA, said this about the COVID vaccine in children five to eleven during an official FDA hearing: "We're never going to learn about how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it. That's just the way it goes."

The people serving on FDA committees are sometimes not the most well-informed individuals when it comes to knowing or even understanding the complex fundamentals of FDA regulatory affairs or the FDA's mission.

As a former FDA medical officer/senior medical analyst on the FDA's Division of Metabolism and Endocrinology, I recall that my FDA colleagues and I were more than a little puzzled to hear FDA advisory members asking elementary questions already answered at length during advisory committee meetings.

Because the Biden administration is fond of using the FDA as cover for its medical mandates, it is all the more important that the FDA produce comprehensive and conclusive safety data for public review before approving the vaccines-even if it's for emergency-use authorization.

A central question that the FDA seems to have ignored is whether giving emergency vaccinations to children five to eleven years old is needed at all, given that it is well-established that children are at low risk for serious COVID complications, especially with the dominant variant.

Leaving aside the bioethics argument and question of using our children as test subjects, whatever happened to "Following the science"? What about the physician's centuries-old sacrosanct vow of doing no harm? What about the safety findings in adults the FDA seems intent on keeping under wraps?

He was an FDA medical officer who was later appointed by the White House to serve on the FDA's Senior Executive Leadership Team as senior advisor to the FDA Commissioner for drug safety, drug epidemiology, FDA science policy, and FDA regulatory affairs.
