An expert explains that talk of a fall vaccine is 'irresponsible': 'When they put this stuff out in public, they’re so oblivious to the damage it is doing'
Photo: NurPhoto/NurPhoto via Getty Images This week, the U.K.’s Pediatric Intensive Care Society sent out a warning about a rise in the number of children showing “overlapping features of toxic syndrome and atypical Kawasaki disease with blood parameters.” Any alert emanating from pediatric-intensive-care specialists is alarming, but according to Dr.
The studies were never conclusive. For every study that links it to coronaviruses, you can find a study refuting it. It always went back and forth. So the first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Oh my God, maybe this is further evidence that coronaviruses can cause Kawasaki-like syndromes.’ The second thing I was thinking about was, ‘Why didn’t we see this before?’ You would have thought this might have come up in all of the cases in China. It could be that everything is so concentrated in the U.
A top scientist in China said that we really need to be prepared to live with this disease for a long time, years and years. Should we be wary of talking about a vaccine as if it’s inevitable at this point? I’m very concerned about those statements. One, we are not going to have a licensed vaccine by the fall. Two, I think it’s irresponsible of the biotech, pharma, and other groups, because it causes a lot of damage. I’m not only a vaccine scientist and pediatrician, I’m the parent of an adult daughter with autism. I wrote a book called Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism, which put me up against the anti-vaccine movement.
