Fresh off the presses over at JAMA. Take a guess what the conclusion was? Here is how scientific studies should be presented moving forward. Instead of starting with an abstract, objective, methods and the conclusion, the Authors COI’s and the funding should be the first thing you see. Let’s have a dry run shall we? Here are the Conflict Of Interest Disclosures for this study: •Dr Caban-Martinez reported receiving grants from the Florida Firefighter Cancer Initiative and the Florida Department of Health. •Dr Chu reported receiving personal fees from AbbVie, Vindico, Ellume, Medscape, Merck, Clinical Care Options, Cataylst Medical Education, Vir, Pfizer, and Prime Education. •Dr Englund reported receiving personal fees from AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Merck, Meissa Vaccines, Moderna, Sanofi Pasteur, Pfizer, Ark Biopharma, GSK (formerly GlaxoSmithKline), and Shinogi. •Dr Hegmann reported being the editor of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine practice guidelines. •Ms Jeddy reported being an employee of Abt Associates. •Dr Lauring reported receiving personal fees from Roche and Sanofi and receiving grants from the Flu Lab and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund. •Dr Martin reported receiving grants from Merck. •Dr Monto reported receiving personal fees from Roche. •Dr Newes-Adeyi reported being an employee of Abt Associates. •Dr Olsho reported being an employee of Abt Associates and a study participant in CASCADIA. •Dr Phillips reported receiving personal fees from Novavax. •Ms Rai reported being an employee of Abt Associates. •Dr Vaughan reported being an employee of Abt Associates. •Dr Yoon reported receiving personal fees from Novavax. •Dr Gaglani reported serving as co-chair of the infectious diseases and immunization committee and the respiratory syncytial virus taskforce lead for the Texas Pediatric Society and the Texas Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. I counted at least 12 Pharmaceutical Companies, a couple major medical associations and the Wellcome Trust at first glance. So who funded this obvious industry funded. Here is the Funding/Support: This study was supported by the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under contracts 75D30121C12297 (Kaiser Foundation Hospitals), 75D30122C13149 (University of Michigan), 75D30120C08150 (Abt Associates Inc), and 75D30122C14188 (University of Arizona) and by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (contract 75N93021C00015). The Role of the Funder/Sponsor Section: The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but not the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, collaborated with partner sites to design and conduct the study; managed, analyzed, and interpreted the data; prepared, reviewed, and approved the manuscript; and had a role in the decision to submit the manuscript for publication. Wouldn’t it have been nice to know this before wasting 10 minutes reading their garbage propaganda study? They bank on the fact that 99% of readers will never even bother to look. This study pulled out all the stops and got the entire band together in order to convince you to inject your children with mRNA. The funder of the study, the CDC who also happens to be the agency that explicitly recommends the mRNA vaccines and markets them to the public, concluded that the mRNA vaccines boosters protect kids. I’m shocked and would have never have guessed that. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2814536?guestAccessKey=dfe5b81a-a413-4499-9b65-6077d457632f&utm_source=silverchair&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=article_alert-jama&utm_content=etoc&utm_term=020624&utm_adv=…

Oh and here is one other interesting tidbit I found. The lead author is Dr. Leora R. Feldstein a 2017 graduate of the Epidemic Intelligence Service i.e. an EIS Officer, think Kate Winslet from Contagion but not really. She now works at the CDC as an Epidemiologist in the Division of Viral Diseases, Respiratory Viruses Branch. She declared no COI’s, in fact I can’t find her ever declaring a COI in all the articles she has co-authored in her career. I guess if you work for the government you can’t possibly have them, even if your employer is funding the study on a product they helped bring to market and assist in marketing 🤷🏼‍♂️
