Why the children?
Dear Editor:
I really don’t understand why the FDA gave emergency approval for the experimental vaccination of our children (12 years and older) on May 10, 2021. The CDC reports that COVID infection in the young (even those under the age of 65) has a 99.9 percent recovery rate. The Pfizer study of children 12-15 years old (85.9 percent White, 11.7 percent Hispanic and 0.4 percent Native American) reported two percent of the 1,129-placebo group got COVID and none of the vaccinated group (only 660 were followed for two months). Up to 78.9 percent of those vaccinated had adverse reactions.
FDA’s fact sheet for COVID-19 vaccination providers has mandatory requirements to "report all vaccine administration errors, all serious adverse events, cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome [MIS] in adults and children and hospitalized or fatal cases of COVID-19 following vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.”
Warnings are “appropriate medical treatment used to manage immediate allergic reactions must be immediately available”, “fainting may occur…procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting”, and the” vaccine may not protect all vaccine recipients”.
Information to provide to vaccine recipients/caregivers: the vaccine “is not an FDA approved vaccine”, “The significant known and potential risks and benefits of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and the extent to which such risks and benefits are unknown.”
Also, v-safe info sheets should be provided to recipients/caretakers to identify potential side effects.
Also, CDC announced an emergency meeting on June 18, 2021, to discuss higher than expected reports of heart inflammation following doses of Covid vaccines (226/475 cases in patients 30 and younger).
