Former President Donald Trump used a New York Post opinion piece to address the Biden administration Friday evening to allow a break in the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine, accusing them of allowing that. ” bureaucrats who had an incredible aversion to risk would run the program. “
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had announced a pause in vaccine use Tuesday morning, citing six cases of women experiencing cerebral venous thrombosis. in combination with thrombocytopenia, cerebral blood clot.
On Friday night, the former president sent an e-mail repeating verbatim the arguments made by the editorial board of the New York Post, namely that the cases were rare enough not to hinder the deployment of the vaccine, qualifying the “pure madness” movement.
“The federal pause on the J&J shooting makes no sense,” the statement said.
“Why does the White House in Biden let bureaucrats with an incredible risk aversion run the program? Only six people out of the nearly seven million who have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine reported blood clots,” it says in the statement.
“The condition is more common in the general population and all vaccines (in fact, all medicines) carry some risk, including Moderna and Pfizer stings.
“With COVID cases on the rise across the country, it’s crazy to delay millions of vaccinations and feed fears among vax-resistant people. In fact, this moronic movement is a gift to the anti-vax movement: scientific bureaucrats they feed this disturbed pseudo-science. “
Although it was initially assumed that the pause in the use of the J&J shot would last a few days, the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the CDC decided Wednesday that the pause should remain in effect until the group meets within seven to ten days.
The Biden administration has defended the break, arguing it is the right precaution to protect Americans.
“Science is moving at the speed of science and they want to review more data. We believe they are the gold standard, the [Food and Drug Administration] The FDA is the world’s gold standard, ”White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday.
“In reality, their comprehensive and transparent approach should give the American public additional confidence in the role they play and in the approach the United States takes to approve vaccines on the market.”
