I don’t really think it played a role in the latest recommendations.

Of course it had no impact. (I talked and wrote about it before Yglesias did; my blog piece isn't paywalled and, no, it had no impact; neither mine nor Matt's. The age prioritization topic was very much already on the agenda; Germany and UK just came out with recs; WHO had recs).

I mean, I think these are important topics and deserve public scrutiny and discussion broadly, but it wasn't a few blog posts the day before the ACIP meeting that had any impact, and Helen is right. That said, now states will be doing their own thing so the topic needs attention.

You don't think public exposure and scrutiny affected their decision-making process at all? According to
@halvorz the the public debate was alluded to at the meeting, and@Neoavatara says they were monitoring it.5 replies 0 retweets 14 likes -

I listened to the whole thing. The people in the committee are not last-minute to this at all. Also, the updated prioritization must have been set days ago. A Twitter kerfuffle isn't it. That said, again, I think this is a question of public concern as public buy-in is crucial.

No one who is a newbie at following ACIP can remotely imagine how much preparation the members do, and how much they solicit and consider outside views from an incredibly wide range of stakeholders. If these were your first ACIP meetings, you got a good intro to how it works.

Yes, impressive. The questions were excellent. Real debate, too. But there’s clearly a lot left to work out. The guidance is still very high level. And then 1c awaits.
