A public health expert scorned Sen. Tommy Tuberville's analysis of vaccine mandates as illogical and unscientific.
The Alabama Republican met with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is Donald Trump's nominee for health secretary, and came away saying that they agreed that children are required to get too many vaccines instead of just three, as both septuagenarians had gotten as children in the 1950s, and Dr. Paul Offit faulted his reasoning during an appearance on CNN.
"That's called survivor bias," said Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital, Philadelphia. "I mean, the notion is that, you know, we were fine, so therefore everybody else is fine. This thing about transparency [in research] is very upsetting to me, because you can see all the data that everybody else sees. It's all open to the public. I mean, when we, the FDA vaccine advisory committee, reviewed, for example, the Covid vaccines in December of 2020, we reviewed about 800 pages of data. That was all on FDA's website for anybody to look at."

"I don't know what Tommy Tuberville is talking about," Offit added, "but one thing that Tommy Tuberville said that should be a key to exactly what RFK Jr. is going to do is he said, 'I just talked to RFK Jr., and we talked about how, do we really need all these vaccines. That tells you everything about what RFK Jr. is about to do. He is about to do everything he can to destroy the vaccine program in this country, and I think it is a dangerous time to be a child in the United States of America."
CNN's Kate Bolduan was alarmed by his last statement.
"It makes me so sad to hear you say that," she said. "Your entire career is based on trying to protect children of America, and that, and again, it sounds like listen to what RFK is saying. He's telling you what he's going to do, seems to be the it seems to be part of the message here is as he goes and returns now to the Hill for more meetings with more senators."
