Woodcock, Marks at FDA forced Krause out to justify approvals for Biden vaccine mandates

 In revealing testimony in front of the House judiciary committee, Philip Krause, former Deputy Director of FDA vaccine products, testified that he was relieved of duty on COVID19 vaccines because the Biden administration wanted to rush FDA approval so they could push forth their fall 2021 vaccine mandates. Here is the key section

Krause explains the direct connection between forcing him out and the mandates.

Remember, the Biden vaccine mandates were issued only AFTER the CDC and administration knew the vaccine COULD NOT halt transmission. As such, the mandates were unethical— you can’t mandate a personal medical intervention for something that does not benefit 3rd parties, and furthermore, even if it did benefit 3rd parties, the benefits to third parties have to far outweigh loss of autonomy.

*Note: some people claim that a transient reduction in symptomatic covid19 is a benefit to third parties. This claim is laughable given just how weak the protection is, and just how short lived. In the universe of human interactions— it would make no difference to forcibly vaccinate a tiny fraction of people in one nation*

Given the vaccines were under EUA, the administration was eager to ram through full FDA approval so they could begin the mandates. When senior regulators Gruber and Krause suggested a slow, deliberative process, they were demoted.

Krause’s testimony shows the Biden administration engaged in inappropriate political tampering with the the FDA, and the FDA leaders— Woodcock and Marks— folded to political pressure. Marks in general has being doing a bad job at FDA, recently authorizing a sarepta product despite a failed P3 study and negative decision from the primary reviewers.

Finally, watch this video clip where Philip Krause explains the lofty rate of myocarditis in young men, confirming the Israeli estimate, consistent with my paper on the topic. In it, he also says he didn’t get a booster (good choice). And that natural immunity is more protective than the vaccine. The only mistake he makes is that there is no evidence that vaccinating a person who had COVID provides a further reduction in severe disease in someone who had COVID. That claim has never been validated in RCT.

Overall Philip Krause testimony revealed that the Biden administration did what Trump never did— tamper with the FDA to force vaccination on many people who didn’t need it (young/ those with prior COVID). It’s sad to realize that the Biden administration is full of many anti-science leaders, such as Murthy, Jha, and Walensky, several of whom pioneered this failed strategy.

As a result of the mandates, trust in public health is shredded and vaccine rates in children continue to fall.
