Taiwan suspends 2nd dose Pfizer Covid vaccine for 12-17 ages amid myocarditis cases

Taiwan’s health minister Chen Shih-chung has said that they are suspending administering second doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT) Covid vaccine to children in the 12-17 age group amid concerns that it may increase the risk of myocarditis.

He said that a panel of experts will review the data on cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the outer lining of the heart) and will decide on the further course of action in two weeks, according to local Taiwanese media.

“Taiwan's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had decided to hold off on administering second doses to the 12-17 age group and will meet in two weeks to make a final decision on the matter,” he was quoted as saying.

During these two weeks, experts on the committee will collect and review data on cases of myocarditis and pericarditis in other countries and Taiwan, Chen said.

According to Central Epidemic Command Center spokesperson Chuang Jen-hsiang, 1.1 million people aged between 12-17 have received their first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in Taiwan.

Out of those, 17 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis have been reported. Fourteen of the patients were male and three were female, Chuang said.

Some countries have adjusted their policies regarding administering COVID-19 vaccines to adolescents. For instance, Hong Kong has changed from two doses of BNT to only a single dose for those aged 12-17. The U.K. has done something similar, recommending only one shot for children between 12 and 18 years of age, according to news outlet CNA.

Good. Are they issuing arrest warrants for the criminals who recommended these injections?

Not Safe, Not Effective

The vaxxine has to kill 117 kids to keep 1 from dying of Covid. And that 1 could be protected with an outlawed cheap therapeutic.

Child sacrifice to appease the angry covid-19 gods. That’s basically where we’re at in 2021.

The long term study is underway right now. It’s using the entire U.S. population as its statistical base.

I think this is the 1st suspension of Pfizer?

Several European countries suspended Moderna, but not Pfizer?

Yet another nation suspending it because of safety concerns, but nope, here inmthe us, one of the most advanced nations on earth, we aren’t moral,enough apparently, to suspend it.

The problem is that those dying from the vaccines will be covered up as dying from something else. Just like,they covered up the true lower numbers of dead FROM covid by claiming that everyone who died WITH ckvid died of the virus I order to inflate the numbers for the purpose of fear manipulation.

One nation, Italy I think it was, dras5ically,drastically, their death total numbers because they were counting, like the US does, everyone who died WITH covid as having been a victim of covid. They reduced their revised numbers by like almost 90%. Instead of say 100,000 dying FROM covid like,they had said, it as now 10,000 people who actually died FROM covid

We are in the age of lies right now. The us won t be as honest as Italy was (I think it was Italy) and revise their numbers downward where they should be, nor apparently will our nation, run by the ,eft and swamp, stop demanding vaccinations by kids (who have only a 0.0002% chance of dying)

Look at these world population numbers over time:

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/

If we are going to save the planet a whole bunch of folks are gonna have to die.

Yeah—that is _exactly_ what the elites are thinking.

Do they want to cure disease so the world population explodes even higher?

Zero chance.
