The FDA approves boosters for minors – without testing boosters on minors ... Age group testing? Zero.
https://technofog.substack.com ^ | December 14, 2021 | Staff

Late last week, on December 9, the FDA approved the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, “authorizing the use of a single booster dose for administration to individuals 16 and 17 years of age.” The booster is to be given at least 6 months after vaccination.

Before we get to the data the FDA cited in the booster for kids aged 16-17, let’s go through the facts:

COVID-19 is not a threat to teenagers aged 16-17. On October 25, we warned that the FDA was about to approve an experimental COVID-19 vaccine for children. It seemed unnecessary to give the EUA Pfizer vaccine to minors, as CDC data showed that for children aged 5-11 years-old, there have been 1.8 million COVID-19 cases and only 138 deaths. Even the CDC concedes that “children are less likely to develop severe illness or die from COVID-19.”

The Pfizer vaccine is particularly dangerous for young men aged 16-17. As we observed back in October, teenage boys are especially at risk for heart problems – like myocarditis – after getting the Pfizer vaccine:

“Boys between 16 and 19 years of age had the highest incidence of myocarditis after the second dose . . . The risk of heart problems in boys of that age was about nine times higher than in unvaccinated boys of the same age.” New York Times.

The risk of myocarditis for boys 16 – 19 years old is higher after the Pfizer second dose. What happens after the third dose??

That’s a good question.

One would rightly assume that the third dose might present more danger of heart problems than the second dose. But FDA doesn’t have the answer to this question. And why doesn’t it have the answer?

Because the FDA didn’t look.

Because the FDA conducted ZERO tests in this age bracket before approving the latest Pfizer booster for this age bracket.

Instead, the FDA relied on prior (old) booster data from a study of “200 participants, 18 through 55 years of age.” Choosing to ignore the long-term data for the efficacy of the Pfizer booster shot, the FDA instead reviewed the old data showing “the antibody response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus one month after a booster dose of the vaccine.”

That’s it. That’s the rigorous studies that now meet FDA standards. Given the self-imposed and purposeful limitations the FDA has placed on its own own information, it has the audacity to conclude:

“The benefits of a single booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or Comirnaty outweigh the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis in individuals 16 and 17 years of age to provide continued protection against COVID-19 and the associated serious consequences that can occur including hospitalization and death.”

This is the FDA making a cost/benefit calculation without knowing the costs or benefits. It doesn’t know the real risks because it didn’t study the potential for adverse reactions in kids aged 16 - 17 years. It doesn’t know the real benefits because it chose a shitty study that was limited to one month efficacy data.

This robust FDA cost/benefit calculation might sound familiar to our loyal readers. That would be because the Government did the same thing when recommending the COVID-19 vaccines for “people who are pregnant.”

This is criminal ... that the American people are letting this happen.

Lack of a spine and a willingness to sacrifice for what's right has led us to our downfall and subsequent loss of freedoms. Scream all you want at the politicians, but if you aren't pointing fingers at the person in the mirror, nothing gets solved.

It’s kind of cute that there are still some folks out there who think these drugs should, you know, be tested before use.

Mandatory participation in medical experiments? The 21st century is just so cool.

You know, if there hadn’t been so much hate and bile-spewing over this, I’m willing to bet that a lot more people would have queued up for the shot. They (fake news media) could have tricked me into it, perhaps, if I was getting pressured, say, at work or home and there was little to no negative publicity about the shots. I’d be like, “Well, haha, okay. I’ve had shots before and, even though they made me really sick, they didn’t kill me! Hook me up!”

But the evidence kinda points toward A) the epidemic being real so, haha, maybe even if I’m healthy and have weathered illness before and then gotten on with life, I still might die from SARS-CoV2 and B) there is SO MUCH negative publicity about the shots, which a lot of scared people have nevertheless gotten, and then gotten again and again (it’s hard for me to imagine being that cowardly, by the way), that it is upsetting people further into thinking that if they got the shot, even if they’re not feeling sick, they might have serious health problems in the future coupled with if they have been vaccinated they still might get sick anyway! or get sick from the shot! (that’s the beauty of this whole thing, isn’t it? *smiles*) .... Um, where was I....? *looks at notes*

Anyway, clearly this was meant to divide people and make everyone fight. It has little to nothing to do with disease or epidemics. Everyone who is over the age of 12 has had the flu at some point. Almost everyone in the world has had a vaccination against something.

And now, as though by magic, everyone has been made not just to fear, but war over, both these things.

The FDA has become a political joke.

They have procedures developed over decades of lessons learned the hard way - through lives lost, disabilities, etc. Just like the saying aviation checklists are written in blood, so are the FDAs procedures regarding new drugs.

When it comes to covid vaccines though, they have ignored or short-cut virtually every procedure they have. They are trading on that trust built up over decades of good performance. When the other shoe drops, and I believe it will with the mRNA treatments, the backlash is going to destroy the FDA's and CDC's reputation for years. Hopefully Fauci and a few others will go to prison.

The government is not your friend.

The government will never be your friend.

You are on your own.
