The only reason a political appointee who reports to RFK, Jr. would block a significant vaccine study is for political reasons.
.
The study, which had been slated for publication in March in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, found that the covid-19 vaccine reduced the risk of emergency department visits and hospitalizations among healthy adults by about half last winter. The findings were consistent with what researchers have found in past years, that the vaccine can help reduce the risk of severe illness in adults even after accounting for immunity from prior vaccination or infection.
.
The vast majority of those who died from Covid were unvaccinated. Being a conspiracy theorist is literally fatal.
.
“Science was never the issue,” said Michelle Barron, one of the study’s authors and senior medical director of infection prevention and control for UCHealth, a nonprofit health system in Colorado. “Certainly it was within [the CDC’s] purview to keep it out, for whatever reason, but it was clearly not for scientific reasons that the study was withheld from publication in the MMWR.”

.
Barron said she believed the study was not published because the findings did not support Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s agenda that wants to limit the use of covid vaccine specifically.
Kennedy, the founder of a prominent anti-vaccine group, has been an outspoken critic of covid shots, once referring to them as the “deadliest vaccine ever made.”
The people who did this study have vast scientific knowledge. This study was published in a peer-reviewed medical journal, which is no easy feat.
RFK, Jr. has no medical background whatsoever. This is a guy who is so mentally unstable, he once cut off the penis of a roadkill racoon in front of his children and took it home with him.
Kennedy has a lot of bizarre beliefs and behaviors. He believes tens of thousands of airline pilots, weathermen, airline mechanics, and sooper sekrit government agencies are behind the contrails ("chemtrails") we all see when airplanes fly overhead. RFK, Jr actually bleevs this crap has merit.
RFK, Jr. is not a man capable of critical thinking.
The people who listen to Kennedy's crackpottery are committing a textbook Argument from Authority logical fallacy.
And now he is feeding the antivax lunacy which is costing lives.

CDC’s chief blocked a covid vaccine study. Now it’s in a top medical journal.
