      Given the timing of the Pfizer 5–11 meeting, I suspect that they need more time to evaluate the data. That is, I don't know that they can hold it earlier. I agree that it's a high priority, but I don't know if it's possible.

      Yeah. But so many reports of unvaccinated kids bringing infection home. Seems like it would be good to get this going as early as possible before Halloween, too. I hope whatever necessary to speed things up is done.

          Agreed, and to the extent that it's a matter of process—"we only start meetings in alternate weeks"—it's easy to fix. But my understanding is that a ton of data is turned over, and the FDA independently analyzes all of it.

          We should have started a medical ethics and process review a year ago.

          That’s interesting. I had thought I’d seen data that said kids are a lot less infectious and weren’t a primary driver of spread. I guess that doesn’t contradict this but it feels like 50-65 year olds who took J&J as first available are quite vulnerable.
