Big Pharma's Push for COVID Shots in Children - The Desert Review

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Despite the fact that young people are the least affected by the COVID-19 virus and that shots come with serious adverse effects and deaths, federal public health officials and pharmaceutical companies race to vaccinate children.

Moderna announced yesterday that it submitted a request to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency use authorization (EUA) for its two-dose COVID-19 injection for children ages six months to under six years old. On Tuesday, Pfizer and BioNTech applied to the FDA for EUA for a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot for children 5 through 11 years of age.

When it comes to COVID, public health officials have consistently downplayed and ignored natural immunity among children. Yet 81 research studies confirm that natural immunity to COVID is equal or superior to any "vaccine immunity."

However, the same Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that ignores children's natural immunity against COVID, states the opposite when it comes to chickenpox. On the CDC website, "Chickenpox Vaccination: What Everyone Should Know," the agency states: "You do not need to get the chickenpox vaccine if you have evidence of immunity against the disease."

The same goes for the CDC's guidance for the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR). The CDC clearly states no MMR vaccine is needed if "you have laboratory confirmation of past infection or had blood tests that show you are immune to measles, mumps, and rubella."

Dr. Eric Rubin, one of the FDA advisory committee members and lead editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, stated, "We're never gonna learn about how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it…The data show that the vaccine works and it's pretty safe … we're worried about a side effect [myocarditis] that we can't measure yet." 

Scientific studies show that children are at very low risk of spreading the COVID infection to other children, to adults as seen in household transmission studies, or becoming very ill or dying.  According to a 2020 Yale University report, scientists have observed that children fare much better than adults and have very diverse and different immune system responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and have far less illness or mortality from COVID. Studies by Ankit B. Patel and Dr. Supinda Bunyavanich show the virus has limited expression and presence in the upper respiratory area in young children. This partly explains why children are less likely to be infected in the first place, or spread it to other children or adults, or even get severely ill. Research published in August 2021 by J. Loske also revealed that "the airway immune cells in children are primed for virus sensing resulting in a stronger early innate antiviral response to SARS-CoV-2 infection than in adults."

Research shows that there is no benefit to children receiving a COVID shot, and in fact, can cause potential harm, adverse effects and death. In fact, according to Pfizer's own study trial data, the chance of death in children from the shot is 107 times higher than death due to COVID.

In addition, the Office for National Statistics revealed that children are up to 52 times more likely to die following the COVID-19 injection than children who have not received it. In December 2021, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published a dataset containing details on "deaths by vaccination status in England" per 100,000 people between January 1, 2021 and Oct 31, 2021. The data revealed that vaccinated children aged 10-14 were statistically 10 times more likely to die than unvaccinated children, and vaccinated teenagers aged 15-19 were statistically two times more likely to die than unvaccinated teenagers.

However, the ONS data also shows during that time period, teenagers aged 15-19 who had two COVID shots were statistically three times more likely to die than teenagers who were not vaccinated. Children aged 10-14 who were double vaccinated were statistically 52 times more likely to die than unvaccinated children.
