Important: Please avoid administering Pfizer or Moderna on our kids, teens & NSFs

UCL Research in Antibody Levels - For the Pfizer vaccine, antibody levels fell from an average of 7,506 units per millilitre (ml) at 21–41 days, to 3,320 units per ml at 70 or more days.

Do not be misled by the manipulation of information by this TS who wants everyone to think that Pfizer vaccines are useless. They are not and helps protect against serious outcomes.

Everyone knows that antibody levels fall over time, that is why there is a need for booster shots. Please read carefully the whole article to understand why.

Children’s immune response more effective against COVID-19​

https://news.yale.edu/2020/09/21/childrens-immune-response-more-effective-against-covid-19

Children and adults exhibit distinct immune system responses to infection by the virus that causes COVID-19, a finding that helps explain why COVID-19 outcomes tend to be much worse in adults, researchers from Yale and Albert Einstein College of Medicine report Sept. 18 in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Since the earliest days of the COVID-19 outbreak, scientists have observed that children infected with the virus tend to fare much better than adults. To determine why that is, Herold, along with his spouse, Betsy Herold, the co-senior author and a professor of pediatrics and microbiology-immunology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, decided to study blood and cell samples collected from patients of different ages who were admitted with COVID-19 symptoms to the Montefiore Medical Center in New York City.

Specifically, they looked for variations in the types of immune system responses in patients who experienced different health outcomes from the novel coronavirus. The subjects also included children and adolescents diagnosed with multi-system inflammatory syndrome or MIS-C, a rare complication of COVID-19 infection in young people that is associated with a variety of severe health complications.

They found that levels of two immune system molecules — interleukin 17A (IL-17A), which helps mobilize immune system response during early infection, and interferon gamma (INF-g), which combats viral replication — were strongly linked to the age of the patients. The younger the patient, the higher the levels of IL-17A and INF-g, the analysis showed.

These two molecules are part of the innate immune system, a more primitive, non-specific type of response activated early after infection, Kevan Herold noted. Conversely, the adults showed a more vigorous adaptive immune system response including higher neutralizing antibody levels, which record signatures of pathogens and target them for elimination.

They also found that children with rare cases of MIS-C also have high levels of IL-17A and INF-g, but seldom exhibit severe damage to lung tissue that characterizes severe adult cases. These children, however, share other immune response signatures linked to more severe adult cases. The source of the IL-17A and INF-gmolecules remain unknown, but its identification may shed light on cells that can be targeted to prevent severe effects from COVID-19.

Boosting certain types of immune responses may be beneficial to patients, the authors theorize.

“The suggestion is that kids have a more robust, earlier innate immune response to the virus, which may protect them from progressing to severe pulmonary disease,” Betsy Herold said.

NNTV - Number Needed to Vaccinate
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK63647/


Estimating an NNTV and risk-benefit model in children ages 5 to 11 using the limited data that are available


Everyone knows that Pfizer was not even trying to conduct a responsible clinical trial of their mRNA shot in kids ages 5 to 11. Pfizer could have submitted to the FDA a paper napkin with the words “Iz Gud!” written in crayon and the VRBPAC would have approved the shot. They are all in the cartel together and they are all looking forward to their massive payoff/payday.

But let’s not be like Pharma. Instead, let’s attempt to come up with a best guess estimate based on real world data. Over time, others will develop a much more sophisticated estimate (for example, Walach, Klement, & Aukema, 2021 estimated an NNTV for 3 different populations based on “days post dose”). But for our purposes here I think there is a much easier way to come up with a ballpark NNTV estimate for children ages 5 to 11.

Here’s the benefits model:

  • As of October 30, 2021, the CDC stated that 170 children ages 5 to 11 have died of COVID-19-related illness since the start of the pandemic. (That represents less than 0.1% of all coronavirus-related deaths nationwide even though children that age make up 8.7% of the U.S. population).
  • The Pfizer mRNA shot only “works” for about 6 months (it increases risk in the first month, provides moderate protection in months 2 through 4 and then effectiveness begins to wane, which is why all of the FDA modeling only used a 6 month time-frame). So any modeling would have to be based on vaccine effectiveness in connection with the 57 (170/3) children who might otherwise have died of COVID-related illness during a 6-month period.
  • At best, the Pfizer mRNA shot might be 80% effective against hospitalizations and death. That number comes directly from the FDA modeling (p. 32). I am bending over backwards to give Pfizer the benefit of considerable doubt because again, the Pfizer clinical trial showed NO reduction in hospitalizations or death in this age group. So injecting all 28,384,878 children ages 5 to 11 with two doses of Pfizer (which is what the Biden administration wants to do) would save, at most, 45 lives (0.8 effectiveness x 57 fatalities that otherwise would have occurred during that time period = 45).
  • So then the NNTV to prevent a single fatality in this age group is 630,775 (28,384,878 / 45). But it’s a two dose regimen so if one wants to calculate the NNTV per injection the number doubles to 1,261,550. It’s literally the worst NNTV in the history of vaccination.
If you inject that many children, you certainly will have lots and lots of serious side effects including disability and death. So let’s look at the risk side of the equation.

Here’s the risk model:
  • Because the Pfizer clinical trial has no useable data, I have to immuno-bridge from the nearest age group.
  • 31,761,099 people (so just about 10% more people than in the 5 to 11 age bracket) ages 12 to 24 have gotten at least one coronavirus shot.
  • The COVID-19 vaccine program has only existed for 10 months and younger people have only had access more recently (children 12 to 15 have had access for five months; since May 10) — so we’re looking at roughly the same observational time period as modeled above.
  • During that time, there are 128 reports of fatal side effects following coronavirus mRNA injections in people 12 to 24. (That’s through October 22, 2021. There is a reporting lag though so the actual number of reports that have been filed is surely higher).
  • Kirsch, Rose, and Crawford (2021) estimate that VAERS undercounts fatal reactions by a factor of 41 which would put the total fatal side effects in this age-range at 5,248. (Kirsch et al. represents a conservative estimate because others have put the underreporting factor at 100.)
  • With potentially deadly side effects including myo- and pericarditis disproportionately impacting youth it is reasonable to think that over time the rate of fatal side effects from mRNA shots in children ages 5 to 11 might be similar to those in ages 12 to 24.
So, to put it simply, the Biden administration plan would kill 5,248 children via Pfizer mRNA shots in order to save 45 children from dying of coronavirus.

For every one child saved by the shot, another 117 would be killed by the shot.

The Pfizer mRNA shot fails any honest risk-benefit analysis in children ages 5 to 11. https://tobyrogers.substack.com/p/what-is-the-number-needed-to-vaccinate

The real misinformation was done by the MTF and FOUR cucks doctors advising them by first saying mRNA provides immunity if two thirds of the people gets 2 jabs.
Then the narrative changes. It became 80%.
Then the narrative changes again, to, it only reduces serious illness.
And all the while saying no one will be coerced into taking it.
And then changed many times again to discrimination and threats.
Misinformation? Yeah, point it in the right direction idiot!

Children are now eligible for the Pfizer COVID Vaccine. Here’s what you need to know​

Virus Outbreak Kids Vaccine
David Goldman/AP PhotoJames Marshall, 5, pulls down his sleeve as his mother, Kristen, rear, looks on with her three-month-old daughter, Elizabeth, in a carriage after James received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5-11 at a state-run site in Cranston, R.I., Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021.
This week federal regulators approved the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11.
For months, COVID-19 cases in children have been on the rise. In August and September, cases climbed 400 percent. According to the state, there’s a one in four chance of being exposed to the virus by a child at home.
The number of children hospitalized also increased. Colorado is one of the worst COVID-19 hotspots in the country, with medical facilities nearing capacity. Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent the spread of coronavirus and getting children vaccinated is part of the solution to Colorado’s high transmission.
Dr. Samuel Dominguez is a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Children’s Hospital Colorado and an associate professor at University of Colorado School of Medicine. He talked to CPR about the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children.

Is the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine safe for children ages 5-11?

According to Dominguez, the short answer is yes. When determining the safety of a vaccine, drug makers do extensive studies and enroll people in trials to test how well the vaccine works and whether it has any side effects.
“We understand that people are nervous and it's OK to be nervous with anything new. There's always questions, and it's good to ask questions. It's good to be concerned,” Dominguez said. “Overall vaccines, in general, are the most studied and regulated of all medications that we use.”
In the case of the Pfizer vaccine, it’s already been administered to more than 192 million people in the U.S., which provides evidence for its safety in children. But Dominguez pointed out that kids are not just little adults, their reaction to diseases is different.
In a trial of more than 3,000 children ages 5 to 11, no serious side effects have been detected in the ongoing study. Adverse effects are monitored by local, state and federal agencies. Like in the case of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine pause, regulators are looking for any signs of a problem and will report those to the public.
“I think that should be reassuring to people,” Dominguez said. “We found those very quickly and were able to get that data and make changes appropriately.”

What about side effects, like myocarditis, in children from the vaccine?

Each year globally about 10 to 20 people out of every 100,000 develop myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart muscle. The rare condition was detected in some adolescents after receiving the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, but experts say COVID-19 is much more likely to cause lasting heart damage.
“Right now we're seeing lots of kids, unfortunately, being hospitalized and in our ICU with COVID,” Dominguez said. “Even though COVID overall is a much more mild disease in children, there are a subset of kids who can get sick enough to be in the hospital. And so in terms of the risk-benefit analysis, from what we know so far the benefits in my opinion, far outweigh the risks, in terms of thinking about vaccination.”
Since the start of the pandemic, tens of thousands of children nationally have been hospitalized with COVID, and 657 have died, according to data collected by the CDC.

The COVID vaccine will soon be available for 5 to 11 year-olds. Here’s what Colorado parents and kids say about it.



How effective is the vaccine for children?

Children showed comparable immune responses to people ages 16 to 25. The vaccine was found to be 90.7 percent effective in preventing COVID-19 in the 5 to 11 age group. Children, like adults, could still get breakthrough cases. If community transmission is high in your area, you should take necessary precautions to prevent an infection like wearing a face covering and avoiding crowded indoor spaces.

Does my kid get the same shot as an adult?

The Pfizer vaccine for children in this age category is formulated differently for children. It’s a smaller dose, but the child will still receive two doses a few weeks apart. They’re fully protected two weeks after the second dose.

Why is it important to get my children vaccinated against COVID-19?

Vaccination against COVID-19 is important for individuals and for the community. Children getting the vaccine makes them less susceptible to MIS-C or multisystem inflammatory syndrome, and long COVID.
“Kids right now, nationwide, are 25 percent of all cases and the more kids we can get vaccinated, the more likely we are to stop those chains of transmission, which really results in fewer infections overall in the whole population and fewer hospitalizations and fewer deaths,” Dominguez said. “It's us all doing our part to get us through this next phase of the pandemic.”

Where can my child get a COVID-19 vaccine?

Pharmacies, health clinics and county-run vaccination events are all offering COVID-19 vaccines for 5- to 11-year-olds. Check with your health care provider or county health department for more information.
Colorado officials want to vaccinate roughly 480,000 Colorado children ages 5 to 11 with the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by Jan. 31.
The pediatric vaccine campaign includes hundreds of clinic locations statewide, numerous partnerships, and a “robust equity effort so that every child, no matter their background, has access to this vaccine,” said Diana Herrero, Deputy Director of the Division of Disease Control and Public Health Response.

What if my child already had COVID-19, do they need to get vaccinated?

The immune response in vaccinated people is higher than in those who caught the virus. However, people who had COVID-19 and were vaccinated may have better immunity than those who were vaccinated but never sick with the virus. It’s recommended that children be vaccinated against COVID-19 even if they had the virus in the past.

Can children get the flu shot and the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time?

Yes, children can and should, according to Dominguez, get both the COVID-19 vaccine and the flu shot.
“We have just started to see the first few cases of influenza here in Colorado,” Dominguez said. “Not a lot of circulation yet, but we've had a few cases already, so it's here. Definitely get your flu shot.”

Will my school or district mandate the vaccine?

School districts across the state are determining their next steps now that the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for use in younger kids. So far, districts have not mandated the COVID-19 vaccine for students, but it’s possible they could.
In an interview with Colorado Matters in early November, Gov. Jared Polis didn't specify whether the state would push for school mandates.
"I don't know where it's going with regard to what different school districts will or won't require," he said. "From our perspective at the state, and the epidemiological perspective, if we can reach 50 to 60 percent, that will make a major impact in reducing the transmission of the virus."
The state mandates what vaccines school-aged children are required to get. Changes to those laws would go through a process at the state level. Colorado allows vaccine exemptions that make it easier than many other states to forgo vaccinations before attending school, which has contributed to the state's low childhood vaccination rate even before the pandemic.

Singapore to decide on COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11 this month​

https://www.straitstimes.com/singap...-19-vaccine-for-kids-aged-5-to-11-in-november

SINGAPORE - An expert committee will make a recommendation on whether to extend the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine to children aged five to 11 in the second half of November, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Monday (Nov 8). He added that Singapore's Expert Committee on Covid-19 Vaccination (EC19V) has studied the data and assessed that overall, it is beneficial for children aged five to 11 to get vaccinated, especially given the ongoing community transmission.

Associate Prof Mak said Pfizer is producing a formulation designed for children, using the same mRNA ingredient but with a different buffer solution, so that it can be stored under “more conventional cold chain requirements”. This will also make it easier to draw the required amount of vaccine from the vial.

However, as these paediatric vials are not yet commercially available, this will mean having to prioritise existing Pfizer doses for children, said Associate Professor Mak.
