It’s easy to hide behind, “the experts said to do it.” You can point to Peter Marks at FDA or Mandy Cohen at CDC and say they told me to do it. But these people and these agencies have repeatedly displayed that they aren’t capable of good medical advice.
Peter Marks famously demoted Phil Krause at FDA to rush full biological licensing agreement (BLA) for covid vaccines so Biden could ram unethical mandates. Mandy Cohen supported the CDC policy of toddler masking, an illogical idea that punished young kids for no purpose.
Ultimately, however we all own our actions. If you are a doctor, you can’t blame others for the advice you give patients. You have to evaluate the evidence and do what you think is best.
This fall, the US is once again a major global outlier by recommending COVID19 boosters to little children, even those who have already and repeatedly had COVID19. In this essay I am going to argue not only that doctors should not advise parents to give their kids the booster, and not only that the FDA should not have approved it, and the CDC not recommended it: I am going to argue the strongest thesis of all: It is malpractice for a doctor to recommend the booster to children. Consider the case.
