If the FDA has proof that vaccines killed children, it needs to release that evidence immediately.
So, let's play make-believe and pretend that Prasad has rock solid proof the vaccine killed 10 kids.
He is now sitting on it, refusing to give doctors on the ground the information they need to inform their patients.
The opposite of radical transparency.
