Top Doctors Refuse to Give Their Own kids a Third Shot as Studies Find Chances of Vaccinated Boys Between 12 and 17 Being Hospitalized Are 0.3 Out of 100,000

Two of the nation's top doctors said they refuse to give their own kids a COVID booster shot as vaccinated teenage boys have a low risk of hospitalization, but the likelihood of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart, is higher.

Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious-disease specialist at the University of California, and Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a member of the FDA's vaccine advisory committee, told journalist David Zweig in a piece published on Bari Weiss's Substack, Common Sense, that the benefits of a booster for teen males are outweighed by the possible side effects.

One of the most common serious side effects for a teen from a COVID booster jab was myocarditis, a rare heart inflammation case that occurs in males at almost nine-times the rate than females, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The CDC has recorded two such cases among a group of 20,000 and the prevalence is about 10 out of 100,000 in boosted teenagers. In comparison, vaccinated teen boys only had a 0.3 out of 100,000 chance of being hospitalized with COVID, according to the agency's COVID briefings and Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices report in early January.

Both Gandhi and Offit, who have advocated for the vaccine and gotten themselves and their children vaccinated, claimed the CDC was premature in advising teens to get a COVID booster shot on January 5, with Gandhi saying, 'I am not giving my 12 and 14-year-old boys boosters.'

Offit said he advised his 20-year-old son to avoid the third dose and said the booster would not be worth the risk for 'the average healthy 17-year-old boy.'

The doctors' statements come as other health officials claimed the CDC had made its booster recommendation without proper

Isn’t 0.3 out of 100,000 just 0.0003%?

Now, let’s compare that with the chances of a child being hospitalized when he gets Covid...

My own calculations (again):

COVID-19 CFR 1-14-21

Therefore based upon statistics on those aged 0-49 who were tested as being infected with Covid-19 and judged as having died due to it, then the CFR is 0.14% while for 0-64 .it is 0.18%. In contrast, for those ages 75 and up the CFR rises to over 26%. For a comparison, the odds of dying in a motor vehicle accident are calculated to be 1 in 107 (0.93%) and your chances of getting into a motor vehicle accident are one in 366 (0.27%) for every 1,000 miles driven. And thus despite headlines of exceptions, for the young (and fit and healthy) the odds of dying from Covid-19 are very minimal.

That is, unless you are “quarantined” in the womb. since as the CDC reports, "in 2019, the abortion ratio was 195 abortions per 1,000 live births,” which means that the “pregnancy fatality rate” (PFR) is19.5% (excluding spontaneous miscarriages among known pregnancies which are estimated to average approx. 15%). Thus to impose long-term severe restrictions and requirements in the interest of saving lives (yet which restrictions have their own deleterious effects) due to an infectious somewhat preventable disease, while actually fostering the death of the most vulnerable who are safely “quarantined” in the womb of their mother — as well as doing comparatively little to combat the leading Covid-19 comorbidities — is irrationally inconsistent.

That is what they are saying . “as Studies Find Chances of Vaccinated Boys Between 12 and 17 Being Hospitalized Are 0.3 Out of 100,000” FROM COVID not the vax.

Very poorly written headline. What really surprises me is they let their kids get vaxed in the first place.

Wouldn’t it be easier to say “3 out of a million” instead of “0.3 out of 100,000” ?

You slipped up with the decimal point.

0.3 out of 100,000 is 0.003%.

This is the same figure quoted in the minute-long serenade to VAXXING always broadcast right before the evening news here in Germany.

Notice: They say the danger is "only" 0.003% (for pericarditis). They DON'T say that that is hundreds of times higher than the natural rate!

They also mention ONLY pericarditis - not myocarditis, blood clots, neurological conditions, etc.

Lying with statistics!

FTA: “Public Health Ontario concluded that there was there was a 34.8 out of 100,000 chance of a teen boy to experience adverse effects following their second COVID jab.”

That is many times higher than the risk of a teen boy experiencing any long term effects from COVID.

I've observed this for more than a year now. Don't believe what doctors and others in the politically-compromised "medical industry" say ... watch what they do.

Medical advice can no longer be taken at face value (e.g., "wear a mask and you will be protected from the Fauci Flu and will protect others"); actions is what matters.

It was in the Daily Mail article that was posted at the top of this thread. The article cited a study in Ontario.
