Original Note:
False. Paul Offit never approved vaccines that recalled for causing organ failure in kids. RotaShield was approved in 1998 and later withdrawn. Offit was not involved in the development or approval of RotaShield. Instead he codeveloped RotaTeq, a different rotavirus vaccine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2094741 https://historyofvaccines.org/diseases/rotavirus
