WHO, CDC Now Differ in Vaccine Guidance for Kids: Who's More Credible?

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now at odds with the World Health Organization over COVID-19 vaccines.

According to an updated guidance posted last week on the WHO website, healthy children and teens don’t likely need to get the jabs—a recommendation based off a new revised roadmap for COVID vaccinations.

Groups are now categorized as low, medium, and high based on who has the “greatest risk of death and severe disease.” Other factors such as “vaccine performance, cost-effectiveness, programmatic factors and community acceptance,” are also considered. Healthy children between 6 months and 17 years old are now considered low.


The low priority group includes healthy children and adolescents aged 6 months to 17 years. Primary and booster doses are safe and effective in children and adolescents. However, considering the low burden of disease, SAGE urges countries considering vaccination of this age group to base their decisions on contextual factors, such as the disease burden, cost effectiveness, and other health or programmatic priorities and opportunity costs.

The public health impact of vaccinating healthy children and adolescents is comparatively much lower than the established benefits of traditional essential vaccines for children – such as the rotavirus, measles, and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines – and of COVID-19 vaccines for high and medium priority groups. Children with immunocompromising conditions and comorbidities do face a higher risk of severe COVID-19, so are included in the high and medium priority groups respectively. (WHO)


Last month, the CDC added the COVID-19 vaccines to the child and adolescent immunization schedule, recommending that children between 6 months and 18 years old receive two primary series doses and then a booster for some older children.

I would trust a witchdoctor over these. Folklore is preferable.

aw geez, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me... WHO and CDC are institutionalized beyond credibility.

trust your own body, then find a doctor that believes in your ability to trust your own body.

“Who’s More Credible?”
“Well, they ought to be — they’re in charge of the whole world.”
“Who is?”
“That’s right.”
“Look! I was someone credible!”
“Of course you do.”
“So, I’m asking you, who is more credible?”
“They sure are.”

Apparently the WHO's Pfizer checks haven't cleared yet...

Like Courtney Love and Madonna recommendations differing on how to gangbang a NBA team. We all know better than to listen to either one despite the media promotion.

Neither

Both of those organizations have minimized themselves with their actions the past four years. Both of them have shown to be manipulated by political correctness and are easily bribed for political and financial benefit of everyone except the public to whom they are supposed to protect. My recommendation is to defund both of them or limit the CDC to infectious disease monitoring alone.
