We must demand proper safety studies before widespread child immunization

BY SIMONE J. SMITH

“Given all that we have learned about the dangers and ineffectiveness of COVID shots over the last two years, it is horrifying to see the CDC now recommend this as a routine shot to children. Although it is unsurprising given the agency capture, it is nonetheless tragic.” Children’s Health Defense (CHD) President and General Counsel Mary Holland

On October 20^th, 2022, CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted unanimously to add COVID-19 vaccines to the recommended pediatric immunization schedule. While most health care providers follow ACIP guidance when making vaccine recommendations for their patients, adding vaccines to the CDC’s pediatric immunization schedule does not constitute a vaccine mandate. They say that state governments are still in control of determining school immunization requirements for their jurisdictions.

Earlier this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced updated recommendations to the immunization schedules, including the addition of COVID-19 shots and boosters for children ages 6 months–18 years.

The CDC’s addition of COVID-19 shots to the childhood and adolescent immunization schedules may give states the power to make the shots mandatory for school attendance. However, many states have laws on the books that prohibit COVID vaccine mandates for children. It is not known how this new CDC rule will affect children in those states.

What must be taken into consideration is that vaccine makers are not liable for injuries or deaths associated with Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) vaccines but can be held liable for injuries caused by a fully licensed vaccine — unless that vaccine is added to the CDC’s childhood vaccination schedule.

What does this mean? It means that once a vaccine is added to the childhood immunization schedule, its manufacturers (Pfizer and Moderna) are no longer liable for any vaccine injuries and for ANY wrongdoing whatsoever.

A country with a functioning regulator and honest press (not North America obviously), would take a serious look at drug companies who would put forth a proposal so nonsensical as “Infant Covid Vaccine.” Instead, CDC approved this, and the media reports this approval readily.

Let’s take for example what is happening in Europe. Moderna is banned for young people in many countries in Europe. The reason is well known, and it is because of an even greater rate of adverse events from the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

In a research article titled, “Public should be told that vaccines may have long term adverse effects,” the author John Barthelow Classen notes that at a conference held in Bethesda, Maryland, in May 1998 the reviewed data on immunizations starting after the age of two months and its association with an increased risk of diabetes. The analysis was further supported by a similar rise in diabetes after immunization with the H influenzae Type B vaccine in the United States and United Kingdom. Furthermore, the increased risk of diabetes in the vaccinated group exceeded the expected decreased risk of complications of H influenzae meningitis.

Research into immunization has been based on the theory that the benefits of immunization far outweigh the risks from delayed adverse events and so long-term safety studies do not need to be performed. This is troubling due to the fact that many of the adverse effects would not be seen until years later.

You know me, I love asking questions, and the question I have right now is, shouldn’t the FDA at least stop for a minute and think about what they are doing, approving a vaccine that is banned in Europe?

“The childhood schedule is already unscientific and unjustifiable,” said Children’s Health Defense (CHD) President and General Counsel Mary Holland. “Adding this shot may well be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Parents are likely to resist, finally calling the entire childhood vaccine schedule into question. That day has been long in coming, but it is now here. I believe we are now watching the beginning of the end of the reign of Big Pharma over the nation’s children.”

We believe that the public should be fully informed that vaccines, though effective in preventing infections, may have long term adverse effects. As an educated community we must demand proper safety studies before widespread immunization. The outcome; the development of safer vaccine technology.
