During her Senate hearing, former CDC Director Susan Monarez faced questioning from Senator Rand Paul about COVID-19 vaccines for children. Paul challenged the evidence supporting vaccine benefits in preventing transmission, hospitalization, or death in children under 18. Monarez confirmed limited data exists, explaining that recommendations for infants were based on antibody response rather than hospitalizations or deaths. She also noted risks like myocarditis in young children and stressed that vaccine policy must rely on science, not politics.
