The economic excuse seems like a fig leaf over the true motivation to deny the vaccine to children, which is baseless fear of side effects.

There have been many cancer drugs that have been approved because they are safe and a (little bit) effective, but completely cost ineffective, and I always remember the FDA saying that they can't make decisions based on costs, that's up to other people. That the FDA didn't even use the supposed safety concerns also pints to the scientific weakness of those concerns. All the scientists are being forced out of the FDA and they are not being consulted by leadership on scientific decisions, and even in that situation the fake science safety concerns were not cited in the decision.
