A colleague in a European country, with whom I communicate frequently, has given me a worrisome report on what they are finding in relation to various Covid formulations and data from boosters now, and asked me why our country has so little interest in aggressive data analysis. I have no idea ? Perhaps the oldest "root".... money, profit ? But, definitely am looking for more news, and possibly not what we want to hear.

The CDC issues a transparent notice that it is carefully doing post marketing surveillance using multiple data sources, in this case the signal coming from a health care system with 12 million patients. They further report that they then checked for a similar signal across their other systems which include the VA, the manufacturer, and medicare data which did not confirm the concern, and that they checked with international health care agencies where such a concern has also not been seen.
But then you come here and complain that the US agencies are not looking into potential problems and their numbers are too small and you know somebody who might know something. Why don't you please get back to your colleague and ask him for the published data from a journal or a governmental agency or a news report of exactly what worrisome stuff he is privy to that is being kept secret from all of us Americans by our health care agencies who are being controlled by money.
Apparently Pfizer didn't have enough dollar power to suppress this report but you are sure that somehow they are controlling all the levers. /s
Please post here as soon as you have the report from your friend. I understand that tin foil is available at your local supermarket.
If you believe that there is not vigorous discussion and analysis in the medical literature you might want to read the latest issue of NEJM and come back and tell us about Dr. Offit's piece on the benefit of the bivalent booster.
Just a moment...
Be sure to inform yourself of Dr. Offit's job and his opinion on the value of vaccination.
