WHO creates confusion with language on COVID-19 vaccines for children
Washington Examiner ^ | June 23, 2021

The World Health Organization overhauled a webpage on the COVID-19 vaccines that had recommended against children getting vaccinated following online confusion about the difference between its guidance and that of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

On a previous version of its website, the WHO stated that “children should not be vaccinated at the moment. There is not yet enough evidence on the use of vaccines against COVID-19 in children to make recommendations for children to be vaccinated against COVID-19.”

The recommendation, which had been online for months, drew notice earlier this week from U.S. vaccine skeptics. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who has previously said she personally doesn’t see a need to get vaccinated, tweeted, “The WHO says ‘children should not be vaccinated.’ ... Parents fight to protect your children.”

The WHO's guidance, which did not specify what was meant by "children," appeared to differ from that of the CDC, which recommends that those ages 12-17 receive the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. That decision has proven controversial with vaccine skeptics, who say that the health risks of the vaccine outweigh the benefits for young people. No vaccine has yet been authorized for children under the age of 12.

There’s no confusion. The WHO clearly stated that children should not be vaccinated.

Now they’ve gone and done a Fauci. Now they say “well maybe they shouldn’t be vaccinated we don’t know”.

The big vaxx push now is jabbing the children and guilt trip people to vaxx back to “normal” with absolutely condescending language.
