Those statements are not true. Thank you. We what was the secretary's temperament as you pushed back? He was very. He's very upset with me. Secretary Kennedy told the Finance Committee that he did not ask you to pre-approve, but that you are biased against the new ACIP and he just asked you to keep an open mind. Did he cite any data or science as relates to the potential ACIP recommendations to persuade you to support them? He did not have any data or science to point to. (01:00–01:11)
