Pfizer announced their experiments on children 6 months and older were unsuccessful in 2- to 5-year-olds as they didn’t produce an immune response, leading to a recommendation for a third shot and delaying the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the youngest citizens.
Although the experiments produced a strong response in children 6 months to 24 months and 5 to 12 years, the company announced they were evaluating increasing these doses as well.
The study is listed as a phase 1, 2 and 3 model, evaluating the safety, dose and efficacy simultaneously, a strategy seldom, if ever, used. Data collection and analysis will be completed in one year on a population with little risk of the illness.
‘Some young children had serious fevers after receiving a medium-sized dose of Pfizer’s mRNA Covid vaccine, a Pfizer clinical trial found.
Fevers in kids 2-5 who received 10 micrograms of mRNA were both more common and more severe than those in other children tested with the vaccine, the company found. The side effect occurred after both the first and second vaccine dose.
The company revealed the problems to investors and analysts in mid-December as it disclosed its struggles to produce a Covid vaccine for younger children.
Pfizer ultimately did not move forward with a 10-microgram two-dose regimen for children aged 2 to 5. Instead it is testing a much smaller dose – 3 micrograms – which it had originally intended for kids under 2. That dose did not cause the same problems in early trials.
Pfizer’s larger clinical trial in children under 5 is ongoing. Regulators have not yet authorized Covid vaccines – at any dose – for kids that age.
But they have okayed the vaccine for children from 5 to 12 – at the same 10-microgram level that caused fevers in the clinical trial of younger kids.
The vaccine dosing is not adjusted by weight. All five-year-olds receive the full 10-microgram dose, even if they are no bigger than a typical three or four-year-old.
Pfizer has not published any safety or efficacy data for its vaccine in children under 5 in a peer-reviewed journal, but it did provide a glimpse of the results to investors and analysts on Dec. 17. The data are contained in a single slide in the 79-page presentation.
The red bars represent severe fevers, which clinical trials typically define as higher than 103 degrees.
The complete slide is here, showing that roughly 1 in 5 of younger children had fevers after each 10-microgram dose – more than any other children or young adults at any dosage level.
But Pfizer’s hopes for its 3-microgram dose in younger children also appear to be fading.
In the standard two-dose regimen, that dose has proven so ineffective in children 2-5 that the company has now modified its clinical trial to add a third 3 microgram dose.
In adolescents and adults, the Pfizer vaccine dose contains 30 micrograms of mRNA in each shot – three times the dose for kids 5-12 and 10 times the amount that Pfizer is now testing on younger kids. (One million micrograms equal one gram, so the vaccine contains only a tiny amount of material, but it is incredibly biologically potent.)
The company’s struggles with dosing kids under five are part of a bigger issue around vaccinating children.
Pfizer is walking a tightrope as it tries to convince reluctant parents to vaccinate their kids for an illness that is barely a cold for most healthy children.
Despite relentless advertising campaigns and scare stories about children being hospitalized for Covid (stories that frequently reveal about halfway down that the kids were hospitalized for other problems and had incidental Covid diagnoses), only about 1 in 5 American kids 5-12 has received a Covid vaccine.
‘Since the beginning of the plandemic, the world was told that getting “vaccinated” with an Operation Warp Speed injection would “cure” the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). Nearly two years have passed, however, and the exact opposite is proving to be true.
A new letter from researcher Günter Kampf that was published in The Lancetblows some major holes in the mainstream injection narrative, one of the biggest being that Fauci Flu shots are not stopping the spread as claimed.
In fact, there appears to be greater spread of illness and death among those who took the shots in obedience to government guidelines compared to those who left their immune systems alone to fight disease naturally.
According to Kampf, the epidemiological relevance of the fully vaccinated “is increasing,” based on the latest data. At best, the jabs are providing no protection whatsoever. At worst, they are making the people who take them more prone to a negative health outcome.
“In the UK, it was described that secondary attack rates among household contacts exposed to fully vaccinated index cases was similar to household contacts exposed to unvaccinated index cases (25% for vaccinated vs 23% for unvaccinated),” Kampf writes.
“[Twelve] of 31 infections in fully vaccinated household contacts (39%) arose from fully vaccinated epidemiologically linked index cases. Peak viral load did not differ by vaccination status or variant type.”
In Germany, he adds, the rate of symptomatic covid among the vaccinated is increasing. Back in July, it was around 16.9 percent among patients 60 years of age and older. As of October 27, that figure skyrocketed to 58.9 percent, “providing clear evidence of the increasing relevance of the fully vaccinated as a possible source of transmission.”’https://pandemic.news/2021-12-21-lancet-paper-destroys-false-narrative-covid-vaccines.html
‘Forty-eight people who were onboard the Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas cruise ship tested positive for COVID-19, the illnesses caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, although Royal Caribbean requires everyone aged 12 and older to show proof of vaccinationin order to board their ships.
The cruise operator said Sunday that each person who tested positive for the virus immediately went into quarantine. Another six people who had tested positive disembarked the ship when it docked in Florida and were taken home, the company said.
Passengers who tested positive for COVID-19 had mild symptoms or were asymptomatic, Royal Caribbean spokeswoman Lyan Sierra-Carro confirmed to local media.
“We were notified by the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) that a guest on board our (December) 4th cruise tested positive and it was identified as Omicron,” Sierra-Caro added in a statement to outlets. “They (the CDC) asked us to notify guests on the sailing, the one that ended today, and the current one.”
It’s not clear if there were any children under the age of 12 onboard the ship. The Epoch Times has contacted Royal Caribbean for comment.
According to a statement published on Royal Caribbean’s website, guests who are aged 12 and older have to show proof they’ve been vaccinated for COVID-19 in order to embark on the cruise.
“All Royal Caribbean guests age 12 and older must present proof of COVID-19 vaccination, with the final dose of their vaccine administered at least 14 days before sailing. Kids age 5 to 11 who have been vaccinated may present proof of full vaccination and follow the protocols for vaccinated guests,” says Royal Caribbean.
It added: “Each guest’s regimen must include at least two doses of vaccine unless the guest received the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. This guidance is per the U.S. CDC, and no exceptions will be made, even if the guest’s resident country has authorized a single-shot regimen for a two dose vaccine.”
In a statement, the CDC confirmed it is aware of the Royal Caribbean (RCI) outbreak and is “working with RCI to gather more information about the cases and possible exposures, and RCI will be collecting specimens from the current voyage for genetic sequencing.”
Sierra-Caro said that future cruise trips have not been impacted by the outbreak.
Earlier in December, COVID-19 cases were reported on a Norwegian Cruise Lines ship, according to the Lousiana Department of Health. The Norwegian Breakaway cruise ship had left New Orleans on Nov. 28, making stops in Mexico, Honduras, and Belize.
In the week ending Nov. 12, the U.K. reported 2,047 more deaths than occurred during the same period between 2015 and 2019 — heart disease and strokes appear to be behind many of the excess deaths.
In the last 13 weeks alone, about 107,700 seniors died above the normal rate, despite a 98.7% injection rate.
In Vermont, where the majority are also injected, excess deaths are the highest they’ve been since before the pandemic.
An investigation using official data from NHS and the U.K.’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) found that deaths among teenagers increased 47% since they started getting COVID-19 shots.
Deaths from COVID-19 also went up among 15- to 19-year-olds after the shots were rolled out for this age group.
‘The Vietnamese province of Thanh Hoa suspended a batch of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID vaccine after more than 120 teens were hospitalized after being vaccinated.
According to the province’s Center for Disease Control (CDC), the teens were hospitalized for symptoms ranging from nausea and high fevers to breathing difficulties — with 17 children exhibiting severe reactions.
Vu Van Chinh, director of the Ha Trung District General Hospital, said side effects following vaccination are normal but are more likely to happen in children than adults.
Luong Ngoc Truong, director of the CDC, said although the province stopped using the current vaccine batch, “We still have other batches, also Pfizer vaccines, so we will continue vaccinating the children.”
The suspended batch was put into storage and could be used later for other groups like adults, Truong added.
