Pfizer pulls FDA request for Covid vaccine for kids under 5

Pfizer-BioNTech is postponing its rolling application to the Food and Drug Administration to expand the use of its two-dose Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 6 months to 4 years.

The move means that vaccines for this age group will not be available in the coming weeks, a setback for parents eager to vaccinate their young children.

Pfizer said on Friday that it will wait for its data on a three-dose series of the vaccine, because it believes three doses "may provide a higher level of protection in this age group." Data on the third dose is expected in early April, the company said.

Pfizer said in December that two doses didn’t generate a strong enough immune response in its trial of children ages 2 to 4. For young children, Pfizer’s vaccine has a dosage of 3 micrograms. For children ages 5 to 11, the dosage is higher, at 10 micrograms.

Still, the company asked the FDA this month to authorize these first two doses, with a plan to submit additional data in the coming weeks on a third dose. The full vaccination series would be three doses.

The FDA was expected to publish an analysis of the Pfizer data Friday, ahead of an advisory committee meeting next week. The FDA said Friday the meeting has been postponed.

Two people familiar with the FDA’s plans said there had already been a lot of pushback on the agency from outside experts who had concerns that Pfizer’s data wasn’t sufficient. The experts felt, one of the people said, that their concerns were “falling on deaf ears” within the agency.

What kind of a parent wants to inject their kids with experimental substances?

This desire to pump poison into the children is literally demonic. These people are possessed and allowing pure evil to work in their lives and inflict horrors upon humanity.

Why, it almost makes it sound like the FDA is compromised by the drug companies it’s supposed to regulate.

They must have gotten an idea that the approval was not a slam dunk, so they pulled it for now, will work on the voting members of the FDA, and when they think they’ve got the votes, go back for the approval.

Sadly most

When the Vax was 1st made available to 5-12 year olds, I was notified by my son's school that they were having a free vax clinic in the school gym in a week and if I wanted my kids vaxxed I had to go to the school's website and sign him up.

I of course didn't and will not sign my kid up,

but sadly so many parents eagerly & immediately ran to their computers and signed up to get their kids jabbed that within two hours I was notified again by the school that they were overwhelmed and didn't have enough shots and nobody else could sign up.

Crazy
