Shots in little arms: COVID-19 vaccine testing turns to kids

In this Wednesday, March 24, 2021 image from video provided by Duke Health, Alejandra Gerardo, 9, looks up to her mom, Dr. Susanna Naggie, as she gets the first of two Pfizer COVID-19 vaccinations during a clinical trial for children at Duke Health in Durham, N.C. In the U.S. and abroad, researchers are beginning to test younger and younger kids, to make sure the shots are safe and work for each age.

Associated Press Created: March 26, 2021 10:20 AM The 9-year-old twins didn’t flinch as each received test doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine -- and then a sparkly bandage to cover the spot.

“Sparkles make everything better,” declared Marisol Gerardo as she hopped off an exam table at Duke University to make way for her sister Alejandra.

Researchers in the U.S. and abroad are beginning to test younger and younger kids to make sure COVID-19 vaccines are safe and work for each age. The first shots are going to adults who are most at risk from the coronavirus, but ending the pandemic will require vaccinating children too.

“Kids should get the shot,” Marisol told The Associated Press this week after the sisters participated in Pfizer’s new study of children under age 12. “So that everything might be a bit more normal.” She's looking forward to when she can have sleepovers with friends again.

Pull your kids and grandchildren out of public schools if you don’t want the system to have access to them. Their lives could be at stake.

Reports slowly but surely startting to go public,this morning on Fox at least about investigations into the origin of COVID.
It was not natural,it was from Gain Of Function research experiments in a Chinese lab where it leaked.
What needs to follow before American children are subject to this mess Started by Anthony Fauci,yes it was Fauci and Peter Daszak who funded the research at the Wuhan Lab after they were shut down in the U.S.
The Research was deemed to dangerous,if it leaked into the public it would cause a pandemic.
Guess what happened,folks that Lying Fauci needs to be exposed

Same as I wrote in Post 15.

Why even think of it? One son did not get chicken pox. I exposed him to everyone i could until he finally got it.

He was also the only child on the block who got shingles at age 19.

I will always believe that my diligence resulted in the destruction of his natural immunity.

Suppose the vaccine kicks his own immune system aside, making the child dependent on the vaccine in the future.

Big Phama would call that not a “bug”, but a “feature”.

Per CDC, as of March 27, 2021, the case fatality rate (CFR) in the US (fatalies where COVID19 was listed as a comorbidity on the death certificate divided by total cases) was 1.77%.

The CFR for people from birth through 4 years of age was 0.02% (102 fatalities).

The CFR for people ages 5-17 was 0.01% (227 fatalities).

As a group, the CFR for people under 18 is about 1-in-8200, akin to the chance of dying for all ages from an accidental firearm discharge.

These people can't do long division, or perform basic risk management.

FWIW, the CFR for people 18-29 is 0.038%, which is comparable to the chance for all ages of dying from choking on food.

None/Zero/Nada of our family members under 55 has nor will take these vaccines.

One 20 something relative, just finished a 10 pm to 10 am shift as an ICU nurse with a lot of Covid patients in that ICU unit. She and her peers, both RNs and MDs are not taking any vaccines at this time.

If they are healthy, there are zero health reasons to get vaccinated.

All of our family members, older than 70 have taken the vaccines and are still alive.

However, that does not mean everyone in the world should be vaccinated nor forced to be vaccinated.

Young healthy people under the age of 65, do not need to be vaccinated. Let nature “vaccinate” them!

#1 Don’t allow your young gene pool to be vaccinated.

#2 Don’t allow your young gene pool to go to public schools, where vaccination might be the least of their problems.

Must be the New Math...don’t they even check their work? Believe the science!

I’m glad these people aren’t in charge of balancing my checkbooks (yes, I still balance my checkbooks...both of them.)

Parents need to tell the Government at all levels to keep their paws off of their children.

They showed kids getting the vaccine on the St Louis 6pm news and the Karen moms were beaming with pride as they offered up their kids for experimentation. Things are truly getting surreal at this point.

Why? Because is sells more vaccines. Pharm is about revenue. From political side, yah have to keep the proles worried and convinced that Guv’mt is the savior. Fatality rate for youg’uns is about as close to zero as is possible to measure. Less than flu. REal flu, not this misnamed stuff. And, this will be pushed via same “science” as gender change crappola.

imo, this is NUTS.

I don’t like growing children getting a new vaccine, especially when they don’t get that sick, IF they get COVID.

Awww. Look, it’s safe. If Duke does it, everyone should line up the kiddies.

Duke can be trusted.

Duke would never indoctrinate a grad student.

Ask me. I know...........
