"If you show me those studies"... As if those studies haven't been available for years already as he's been spewing anti-vax BS. It's clear he's not capable of understanding a research paper in the first place.

I mean, if you are candidate for the direction of the main disease control institute of the richest country in the world, a few years after a pandemic that sparked massive discussions over vaccines in the public opinion... You should know everything about vaccines pretty fucking well, to even be remotely fit for the postion. At least you should know damn well the results of the long-term safety studies done in over 40 years proving that vaccinations are the safest drugs we have and the massive positive impact they have on public healthcare.

If you need to "be shown those studies" it either means you can't read, or you can't google or you didn't do your homework before. Stuff I would expect from Bachelor's students, let alone the damn CDC president.

Funny story: I came across a study recently showing that getting covid while pregnant increases the chances of the baby being born with a neurodevelopmental disorder (autism or ADHD). Vaccines can protect against getting covid. So vaccines actually prevent autism.

Yeah, I've seen no-vaxxers twisting similar studies (possibly the same?) to say that the spike protein "contained in the vaccine" causes that, therefore vaccinating the mother causes autism in the child.

There is really no limit to what they can purposefully misunderstand.

I got vaccinated in early 2021. Got pregnant shortly afterwards, and got Covid during a spike in 2021, when I was like 20 weeks pregnant. It was horrible, but I never had to be hospitalized. My son was later diagnosed autistic as a toddler. It wasn’t the vaccine, it may have been Covid related, but almost certainly it was genetics. Why that’s not being mentioned more, I do not know. Bobby needs to STFU.

That would make sense i actually have Autism and ADHD and when I got covid it made my ADHD symptoms significantly worse practically overnight like idk what kind of brain damage I got or what but I was basically incapacitated for a year and a half between that and hacking up a lung constantly, and I got covid again which made it slightly worse again it’s absolutely fucked.

The vaccine is limited on preventing you from contracting covid. Its main purpose is to reduce the severity of the illness so people stop dying from it. Either way my 5 year old is smarter than these people.

But they don’t stop infection, or transmission. But ok keep getting them. Your body your choice.
