This had made the vax cult very unhinged
Florida vaccine plan for children denounced as ‘irresponsible and reckless’
Health experts have widely denounced Florida’s decision to recommend against Covid-19 vaccinations for children, describing it as “irresponsible”, “reckless” and “dangerous”.
In a pronouncement which stunned experts on Monday, Florida’s controversial surgeon general Dr Joseph Ladapo said the state would be the first to “recommend against” Covid-19 vaccination for “healthy children”.
The move followed two recent Covid-19 surges in which pediatric hospitalization was believed to be higher because of low vaccination rates among children. (snip)
Ladapo made the announcement on Monday at the end of a roundtable discussion hosted by Republican governor Ron DeSantis, saying: “The Florida department of health is going to be the first state to officially recommend against the Covid-19 vaccines for healthy children.”
The state has not yet released a formal policy to describe exactly who would be included in the designation “healthy children”.
The move goes against accepted advice from federal health authorities and a large majority of independent experts, who recommend vaccines as a powerful tool to protect children from the worst outcomes of Covid-19.
There are plenty of pundits losing their minds over this. Do they care about the science while saying “where’s the science”?
New Data Kills Case for Universal Covid Vax for Kids
A recent study of the efficacy of Covid vaccines for children in New York state provides a striking reminder of how rarely children and adolescents are hospitalised when they get Covid. The study tracked vaccinated and unvaccinated children in New York state last December and January to measure the efficacy of the Covid vaccine against infection and hospitalisation. The study did not track childhood deaths from Covid, presumably because there were so few that no meaningful comparison could be made between these groups.
During those months, a massive wave of Omicron Covid swept through New York state, despite longstanding restrictions and measures like mandated masking for children and vaccine-based segregation. During the peak in the first week of January, the study tracked over 40,000 New York state kids aged 5-11 who tested positive for the virus, with a total of 83 admitted to hospital. The numbers that week were similar for kids aged 12-17 — over 40,000 who tested positive and 141 admitted to the hospital. To provide context, there are about 3 million children in those age groups living in NY state.
What about the efficacy of the vaccine for children in preventing infection or hospitalisation? The results were dispiriting. For older kids, vaccine efficacy against being infected dropped from 76% in the first two weeks after full inoculation to 46% a month later. For the younger kids, it dropped from 65% in the first two weeks to negative efficacy: -41% a month later. In other words, the vaccinated young kids were actually more likely to be infected than unvaccinated kids a month and a half after vaccination. Against hospitalisation, the vaccines held up better over time, but since the number of hospitalisations in this age group was so small even without the vaccine, the vaccine prevented few cases.
So, healthy kids being vaccinated really didn’t help, much like with masking. Strange that no one else in the media is publishing this study. It’s like they don’t want people to know that it seems to be a bad idea to give kids the COVID vaccines at this time.
The study that Mr Teach referenced concluded: vaccination of children 5-11 years was protective against severe disease and is recommended
Note in the study the definition IRR (incidence rate ratio).
IRR is the ratio of two populations, e.g., unvaccinated vs vaccinated.
Vaccine effectiveness (VE) is calculated as 1 – (1/IRR)
So, for example, if the IRR of unvaccinated vs vaccinated for a population is 10, VE = 1-(1/10) or 0.9 or 90%.
Mr Teach highlighted this from opinion piece (not the actual study): the vaccinated young kids were actually more likely to be infected than unvaccinated kids a month and a half after vaccination
Dr Bhattacharya (pro-Covid spread) and Mr Teach (anti-vax) both misinterpret a statistically insignificant difference as highlightable!!! See, vaccines an ineffective!! They even cause Covid!!” Yet, they both ignore all the data in the paper showing that in every other group the vaccinations reduced cases and hospitalizations.
Totall Rubbish. Children can get the virus and be immune just like taking a vaccine. IF you are a responsible parent and your child has comorbidities at such a young age then by all means follow the advice of your doctor. But as a general rule I would venture to say that 95 percent of children who catch Covid have nothing more than a cold.
I have a grandson right now who has the FLU. He is way more sick then he was when he got covid. He has Asthma and my daughter would have vaccinated him but at the time they were not doing 11 year olds. Now her doctor says since he had covid the need for a vaccination is pointless.
Again Covid is about control. Preparing the sheeple for the inevitable new world order in which communism runs the world and we own nothing, have nothing and will like it.
Big Brother Is WATCHING and the thought police will be coming for you soon.
Doctor FM types: Totall (sic) Rubbish. Children can get the virus and be immune just like taking a vaccine.
Total rubbish. There is not enough known about Covid infections and the sequelae. This week a study was reported out of the UK describing differences in brain scans in Covid patients taken before and after infection. The brain effects were seen in the Covid infected whether hospitalized or not. So even mild cases show brain anatomic pathologies.
All was fine until Dr FM conspiracizes: Again Covid is about control.
It’s to condition people for accepting the NWO and communism!!!
Conservatives are obsessed with ‘control’ because it’s their own wet dream.
Jeff,
I think everyone who comes to this blog feels that you have zero knowledge of medicating children with an experimental concept in vaccines. The abuse of children and their parents by teachers unions and our demented foolish president must stop. The government response to this virus definitely demonstrates an aggressive approach to medical care that is not justified and greatly increased the mortality and morbidity. This was the first shot at socialized medical care with the expected poor result.
As you have tried to show yourself as a medical professional, which you are not. Your uniformed comments could be taken as dogma and thus influence someone who is mentally impaired and result in harm. Are you willing to take responsibility and prepared for a civil action from your advice.
The davebot9000 once again threatens a lawsuit! LOL.
Doctor FM is advising parents to not have their children vaccinated but the davebot9000 is programmed to threaten a lawsuit against someone for citing a study.
Rubbish Dowd.
Getting the virus is a bad thing. I don’t dispute that. But the Vaccine is like 25 percent effective in preventing it. The chances of kids getting covid are 3 in 4. Literally, everyone is going to get covid despite vaccinations is the general consensus by everyone around the world.
In children, without Co-Morbidities, it is pointless to vaccinate them unless you are BIG PHARMA.
Then by all means freakin jab the babies too and then perhaps they can figure out a way to jab the fetus as well.
The Down syndrome Dowd points out errantly: Conservatives are obsessed with ‘control’ because it’s their own wet dream.
In fact, Conservatives are obsessed with Freedom to do as they please within the limits of reasonableness.
The left on the other hand is obsessed with FEAR. They are afraid of everything.
Did you see the latest report that showed patients who took Ivermectin only vs Remdesivir only showed Ivermectin patients were 70 percent less likely to die? Peer-reviewed. 60k plus Remdesivir patients vs 1050 Ivermectin patients.
We see you accidently forgot to link the peer-reviewed article on ivermectin vs remdesivir (a John Campbell YouTube video doesn’t count).
Thanks.
Yes, cons want to do as they please.
Go to John Campbells YouTube channel and you can get the study link.
John Campbell is one of yours Dowd. He is a lefty in the UK. He is all for doing exactly what the government tells him to do. He is as left as they come.
The difference is he HAS to use STUDIES on YouTube and simply cannot use his opinion or HE WILL BE BANNED. That is why at the beginning of every YouTube he pulls up the study and shows it on his Channel so that YOUTUBE cannot say IT IS HIS OPINION.
So that being said. Sorry DOWD. So many CHINKS in your CHINK armor. How much does Communist CHINA pay you to spread disinformation on the internet. It must be alot because you are here 18 hours a day 7 days a week.
YouTube science? No thanks. I’m old fashioned that way. You young whippersnappers with your new-fangled social media stuff is too complicated for an old man like me. I can read a journal article more quickly than I can listen to a YouTube opinion piece about the article.
You expended more effort hiding the link than it would take to supply it. What are you hiding?
Why can’t you provide the link to the ‘peer-reviewed’ journal article? Suspicious…
Sorry FM. So many POOTS in your POOTIN armor. How much does murderous RUSSIA pay you to spread disinformation on the internet? It must be a lot because you are here 18 hours a day 7 days a week.
BTW, it takes far less time to refute winger talking points than you estimate.
“Much of what wingers believe is just untrue.” Use that as your daily affirmation and let the healing begin.
Examples:
The US President sets global oil prices.
Russia is defending themselves against Ukrainian, NATO and USA agression.
Putin is a better president than President Biden.
Covid was developed in a Chinese bioweapons lab supported by Dr Fauci.
Covid vaccines don’t work.
Covid vaccines have killed more Americans than Covid.
Covid has killed fewer than 60,000 Americans – it’s like a mild flu season.
The Democratic Party is led by a global, communist, cannibalistic pedophile ring.
The Earth is NOT warming.
Global warming is a communist conspiracy to wreck economies
The communist teacher’s union is teaching white children to hate themselves.
White people are superior to all other peoples.
Most advances made by Black Americans result from affirmative action.
Men are superior to women.
Heteros are superior to homos.
Christianity is superior to other religions, especially Islam.
Conservatism is superior to liberalism.
There is an international big pharma conspiracy to suppress effective but inexpensive treatments for the fake Covid pandemic.
The Jan 6 storming of the US Capitol Building was justified b government oppression.
