Can you clearly state what the policy is? Because this is confusing. Yeah, we believe the recommendation should be with a patient and their doctor. So we're going to get away from these blanket recommendations in healthy young Americans because we don't want to see, well, on the COVID vaccine schedule, we don't want to see kids kicked out of school because a 12-year-old girl is not getting her fifth COVID booster shot. We don't see the data there to support a young, healthy child getting a repeat, infinite, annual COVID vaccine. There's a theory that we should sort of blindly approve the new COVID boosters in young, healthy kids every year in perpetuity. And a young girl born today should get 80 COVID mRNA shots or other COVID shots in her average lifespan. We're saying that's a theory and we'd like to check in and get some randomized controlled data. It's been about four years since the original randomized trials. So we'd like an evidence-based approach. Dr. Prasad and I published this in the New England Journal of Medicine last week. And we're basically saying we'd like to bring some confidence back to the public around this repeat booster strategy theory because... Your statement was not about repeat boosters. It says the vaccine is not recommended for pregnant women. The vaccine is not recommended for healthy children. That's different than annual boosters. Yeah. At this point, we're dealing... You know, it is a booster strategy. People would be getting the updated shot. So whether or not a young, healthy... Well, what about kids who haven't gotten a shot? So we'd like to see the data. We'd love to see that data doesn't exist. It's a practical level for a parent at home hearing you. Yeah. It's trying to make sense here. We're saying take it back to your doctor. If their child has not been vaccinated, are you recommending that their first encounter with COVID be an actual infection? We're not going to push the COVID shot in young, healthy kids without any clinical trial data supporting it. That is a decision between a parent and their doctor. And just so you... I don't know if you know these statistics, but for 88% of American kids, their parents have said no to the COVID shot last season. So America... The vast majority of Americans are saying no. Maybe they want to see some clinical data as well. Maybe they have concerns about the safety. I don't want to crowdsource my health guidance. I want a clear thing, right? You don't go with popularity. You go with, as you're saying, data. And when we look at that data.
