CDC Signs Off on Boosters for 5 to 11-Year-Olds

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention signed off on boosters for 5- to 11-year-olds following the independent vaccine advisers recommendation for an additional dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine following a primary series.

The CDC's vaccine advisers voted 11-1, with 1 abstention Thursday to support recommending a booster dose, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized earlier this week.

The recommendation they voted on was: "A single Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine booster dose is recommended for persons ages 5-11 years at least 5 months after the primary series, under the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization."

The actuaries for the insurance companies have been very silent. They have had data from the first quarter since April.

I've read articles on how the spike protein settles in the ovaries of women.

Wonder what the stats are on stillbirths compared to before the vaxx.

It would also be interesting to know what the stats are on both newly diagnosed and recurring ovarian cancer during 2021.

Actuaries usually are quiet. But CFO’s and CEO’s of insurance companies have to give reports to shareholders, unlike actuaries, who give their data to the head actuary to report to the CEO.

Some parents do get life insurance policies for their kids, don’t they? —To pay for burial and medical costs.

Right now, 7,774 people ages 0-19 in Delaware County, Ohio have had the first booster, the vast majority 12-19. I suppose a handful of immune compromised kids under 12 were able to get it.

Look for this number to increase by 3K in the next month as the child abusers in that county get their little kids jabbed again.

Delaware County is the richest county in Ohio.

To give you an idea of what it is like there: Over a year ago, I took a gun class at very nice, dare I say, upscale gun store/range. The instructor said we could take off our masks at the beginning of the classroom part of the course because it was a private club like setting, or some such legalese (mandates were technically in effect then).

All of the males except one, who was about 12 and with his mom, took off their masks. Only one female did so.

Comparing the first nine full months of the pandemic -- i.e., April through December of 2020 -- to the same months in 2021 for the 0-17 age cohort, we see this:

There were 27,294 "all cause" deaths in the 0-17 cohort in April-December 2021, compared to 25,606 in April-December 2020. This is an increase of some 7%.

As for deaths involving COVID in the 0-17 age cohort, there 493 COVID deaths in April-December 2021, compared to 192 in April-December 2020, an increase of 157%. Notably, for the months April through July 2021, COVID deaths had been up in the 0-17 cohort by some 15%. Thereafter, we see this:

August 2021 - up 447%

September 2021 - up 721%

October 2021 - up 321%

November 2021 - up 85%

December 2021 - up 100%

compared to those same months the year before (during which time, of course, no one in that age group had been vaccinated for SARS-COV-2).

More recently, there were 153 COVID deaths in January 2022 in the 0-17 cohort, compared to 71 in January 2021. In February 2022, there were 71 COVID deaths, compared to 24 in February 2021. Complete nationwide data after that time has yet to be fully compiled, given the lag in reporting, from state to state.

Given the foregoing, where is the evidence that vaxxing those in the 0-17 age group is a good idea? COVID deaths -- deaths, not just infections or hospitalizations, but deaths -- have actually increased in that age group since the vaccines were introduced. So has "all cause" mortality. That's simply what the data show.
