FDA makes it very difficult to identify the temporary members who voted at its recent VRBPAC meeting on 5-11 year old COVID vaccines. I want to make it easier for others to correctly identify their conflicts of interest

Below are the permanent members of the committee–but most were not at the meeting, which was stuffed with 11 temporary members whose votes were assured, plus 7 or 8 of the permanent members.

I have put a line through those who did not attend, and added the temporary members who replaced them at the bottom of the page.
