Summary

“Incompetence,” says Dr. Vinay Prasad, responding to reports of today’s vote by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) that will decide if COVID-19 vaccines should be added to their childhood vaccine schedule – a list that is often required to attend public school. “It will be a catastrophic error if they add it,” Dr. Prasad continued on Twitter. “They will do more in a single day to erode routine vaccination than 25 years of a devoted, irrational movement.” Dr. Vinay Prasad, MD MPH is a practicing hematologist-oncologist and Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California San Francisco. He studies cancer drugs, health policy, clinical trials and better decision making. Clinically, Dr. Prasad cares for patients with a wide range of benign hematologic and malignant conditions.

0:24.8	Plenary Sessions, and he just evaluated medical literature there, and I always admired the way he could
