Mini Boosters

at

This afternoon.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorised a booster dose for young children ages 5 to 11 years old.

Via FDA:

Today, we amended the emergency use authorisation (EUA) for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, authorizing the use of a single booster dose for administration to individuals 5 through 11 years of age at least five months after completion of a primary series with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

“While it has largely been the case that COVID-19 tends to be less severe in children than adults, the omicron wave has seen more kids getting sick with the disease and being hospitalized, and children may also experience longer term effects, even following initially mild disease,” said FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, M.D.

“Vaccination continues to be the most effective way to prevent COVID-19 and its severe consequences, and it is safe.”

    If you’ve had Covid and it didn’t kill you why would you get vaccinated?…. against Covid… which didn’t kill you???

        Cian Government messaging is ‘suggesting you do’ and it’s ‘suggesting’ your kids do too. There was a time… weeks, months ago when you were limited from moving freely about with respect to your vaccination status.
        I’ll say it again:
        If you’ve had Covid and it didn’t kill you why would you get vaccinated?…. against Covid… which didn’t kill you???
        And I’ll add,
        Why has public health advice about Covid not changed to incorporate this simple caveat? It may well be a deadly virus but it’s not deadly to those that have had it.

    authorizing the use of a single booster dose for administration to individuals 5 through 11 years of age

    Note the word play- a single booster. At what point during this whole fraud was there more than one booster ever authorised at the same time?

    Any parent who allows this should be charged with child abuse- as should those administering it.

        “Yes- the risks of CoVid-19 to children aged between 5 and 11 are extremely low. Nearly as low as injecting them with an experiential gene therapy with no medium of long term safety data- but not quite.”

        NEARLY as low?

        Nice to see you are still recording my comments btw- even though that was six weeks ago. Things have moved on since then.

      “During the period of Omicron predominance (December 19, 2021–February 28, 2022), COVID-19–associated hospitalization rates in children aged 5–11 years were approximately twice as high among unvaccinated as among vaccinated children. Non-Hispanic Black children represented the largest group of unvaccinated children. Thirty percent of hospitalized children had no underlying medical conditions, and 19% were admitted to an intensive care unit. Children with diabetes and obesity were more likely to experience severe COVID-19.”
