Tenn. representative asks Gov. Bill Lee to halt COVID vaccine distribution for children
Tennessee Representative Jason Zachary has joined a coalition of GOP housemembers in asking Gov. Bill Lee to halt COVID-19 vaccine distribution, promotion or recommendation for children under five years of age.
The Food and Drug Administration authorized the first COVID shots for infants and preschoolers Friday. The FDA’s choice followed its advisory panel’s unanimous recommendation for the shots from Moderna and Pfizer. The only step left is a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use the vaccine in young children, which should come Saturday.
Rep. Zachary claimed in his letter that the FDA’s trial and recommendation raises questions that he thinks need to be answered before the shots are put into use. Namely, Zachary is concerned about how the FDA conducted trials, claiming that several vaccinated children did not see a lower risk for severe illness than those in the placebo group.
Zachary also stated that several other studies, including some by the vaccine manufactures themselves, did not prove a decrease in risk for vaccinated children.

The Freedom Forward TN video was posted online with photo images of the members of the Knoxville Board of Health who later reportedly stated that they felt threatened by the content of the video.[20][21]
