“Liars Poker” is described here:
Liar's Poker: Definition, Rules, Playing Strategies (investopedia.com)
“The rules of Liar's Poker are fairly similar to those of the card game "Cheat." Players hold randomly drawn dollar bills, with close attention to the serial numbers on their respective bills.
The objective of the game is to bluff opponents into believing that your bid does not exceed the combined sum of all of the serial numbers among the bills in play.”
In this case, several staff at the FDA make false claims about the incidence of adverse events of zero and dare those tasked with calling that zero bid false, to shout “LIAR!”
From the article:
“Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office, presented on COVID-19 vaccine safety to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices on Feb. 24.”
“No safety signals were detected for ischemic stroke for the primary series or monovalent boosters for Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in U.S. and global monitoring,” Shimabukuro said.”
Problem is:
From the original E£poch Times link: “The CDC identified ischemic stroke as a safety signal following Moderna and Pfizer vaccination after analyzing reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a different system, which the agency co-manages.”
Rather than then screaming “LIAR!” the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said nothing and also ignored other FDA staff to join the game of Liars Poker.
“The statement from Dr. Shimabukuro’s slides is correct. There have not been any safety signals detected at this time in the U.S. for ischemic stroke for the primary series or monovalent boosters,” Katherina Grusich, the spokesperson, told The Epoch Times in an email.”
Players of Liars Poker do not have “spokespersons”.
Nor do players have others in the game agree to a claim of numbers.
“Dr. Helen Keipp Talbot, a member of the advisory panel, also offered false information about the safety signal.
“Previous surveillance in … U.S. systems found no evidence of increased risk of ischemic stroke or TIA [transient ischemic attack] after the primary series or monovalent COVID-19 booster vaccination for either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna products,” Keipp Talbot, an associate professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University, said during the meeting.”
An associate professor at Vanderbilt University no less! What a player in the game of Liars Poker!
But wait! Here is another player agreeing with the claim for numbers of zero:
“Dr. Evelyn Twentyman, also a CDC official, said in the meeting that a review of the signal uncovered no signal in any other system for the bivalent boosters and “when data for the two mRNA vaccine types are combined.” She also said no ischemic stroke signal was found in other monitoring systems, including VAERS.”
These people are very bad players of Liars Poker – they do not understand the rules of the game or their role in regulatory affairs. Once again confirming that their decisions have no medical, scientific, moral, legal or ethical basis.
How these “people” can make decisions about anyone, let alone babies, tots and children, is an affront to human decency.
Onwards!

Cool thanks. Liars Poker = Blindmans Bluff = Russian Roulette = Zero Sum Game.
Pretty damn close to exactly how the "game" is being played out.
"I was only following orders." To be qualified by "I was only playing a game".
