Moderna Hopes Its Covid Vaccine Will Be the Second to Be Authorised for Use in American Children

by Michael Curzon
10 June 2021 3:46 PM

Moderna has asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to extend the emergency use of its Covid vaccine to American children aged 12 and over. The FDA approved the use of the Pfizer Covid vaccine in children a month ago on Thursday, and earlier this month the U.K.’s medicines regulator did the same for British children. The MailOnline has more.

When the [Moderna] vaccine was originally authorised for use by the FDA in December 2020, it was only for those aged 18 and older. 

However, recent Phase Three clinical trial data showed no children who were given the immunisation fell ill with the virus within 14 days of their second dose, while four children given the placebo later tested positive.

According to Moderna, this is “consistent with a vaccine efficacy of 100%”.

It comes exactly four weeks after Pfizer received approval from the FDA to administer its vaccine to children between ages 12 and 15. 

As of Thursday, more than seven million U.S. children between ages 12 and 17 have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

Still, only about one in three parents said they would immunise their children right away.

Although children can contract Covid and pass the disease on to others, they tend to not get very ill and make up about 0.1% of deaths.

“We are pleased to announce that we have submitted for an emergency use authorization for our Covid vaccine with the FDA for use in adolescents in the United States,” said Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel in a statement. 

“We are encouraged that the Moderna Covid vaccine was highly effective at preventing Covid and SARS-CoV-2 infection in adolescents.”…

Moderna’s study included 3,732 adolescents from ages 12 to 17 enrolled at sites across the U.S….

Side effects were mild or moderate with the most common being pain at the site of injection, similar to adults in the clinical trial last year.

Other common symptoms were fatigue, headache, muscle pain and chills, but no serious side effects were reported.

It is notable that they didn’t supply any evidence on the ability of the vaccine to suppress transmission, given that that’s the only reason they have for vaccinating healthy children.

And who gives a toss about whether children transmit the virus now anyway? 80% of the population have antibodies against SARS-COV-2.

We must sincerely hope that antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) does not occur.
If it does, they’re going to need all the Coroner’s bags & victim storage & identification facilities which have been spotted in various public procurement databases.

Because there is no evidence that children are significant vectors.

Or written in a different (honest) way, NO children fell ill?

Exactly. And further to your question – how many of those who had the immunisation tested positive, or fell ill before 14 days had elapsed?

And even further..how many cycles were run on the PCR test for the vaccinated kids as opposed to the unvaccinated kids?

Re: Pfizer rollout for children:

On 17 May, HART member Dr Ros Jones sent a letter — signed by dozens of doctors and academics — to the MHRA to express their grave concerns. Two hours after the MHRA announced they had given temporary emergency use approval for the vaccine, they sent this reply to that letter. In it, they claim that no new adverse events were identified and they link to this recent New England Journal of Medicine paper. But it is only if you take the time to read the supplementary appendix that you discover that there were seven unspecified severe “events” and one life-threatening “event” reported in the vaccinated arm. Without clarification of these events, a proper analysis of safety cannot be made. Only 1,134 children were given the vaccine on this trial, far too small a number to be able to rule out uncommon but severe or life-threatening side effects – what else do we just not know yet?

CHILDREN ARE NOT AT RISK FROM CORONAVIRUS AND DO NOT NEED TO BE VACCINATED AGAINST IT.

Of the tiny number of children who died in 2020 having had a positive COVID test, ALL were already suffering from serious illness.

So vaccinated have to fall ill, unvaccinated only need to *test positive*. Do they think we aren’t wise to these weasel words by now?

“100% effectiveness”. Dream on – that figure would mean incredibly low absolute differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated. Work it out.

ARR????? Oh – surprise! Not quoted!

The corruption progresses.

Indeed, with vaccine clinical trials, it’s required (by the regulators) to show & discuss both the Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) & the Relative Risk Reduction (RRR).
Any vaccine for which only the RRR features is (a) deliberately misleading and (b) an advertisement for pharma.

As Dr Sucharit Bakhdi points out, when there’s an ARR of less than 1%, the appropriate vaccine action is none at all & use safe and effective treatments when needed.

Much though I respect Andy, and he may even turn out to be spot on, here’s the problem. It’s literally impossible to prove a negative.
We’ve even discussed this. I’ve pointed out that there is so much evidence of foul play that we don’t need to & cannot succeed in this line of enquiry.

What is your take on the “shedding” or transmission of spike proteins from vaccinated to unvaccinated people? It seems more scientists are thinking it might be possible. I originally thought it sounded like nonsense until it happened to me – twice. Second time I was bedbound with temperature and one of the worst headaches I have ever had. Now worried I have some residual effects.

I think it’s not real. The reason is to do with quantities.
Consider this as if it was, say, cyanide.
The source, if they are to give off enough cyanide to hurt someone else, will themselves be subjected to extraordinarily high quantities of cyanide that we’d know this – that sources who are able to injure others would always be among the sickest post vaccination people.
Replace cyanide with spike protein & the same applies.

So the chances of children being ill with covid? Neglible but they can have a sore arm, have flu like symptoms from a vaccine they don’t need?
It’s child abuse you fucking bastards.

The experiment to vaccinate children is horrific- there are several lobbying groups to try to get common sense. There are data showing damage to heart muscle etc in Children- of course this may be associated but these children are not at risk. Is Boris going to inject his offspring ?

All Covid19 vaccines are way too dangerous compared with the normally scheduled vaccines.
They should all be withdrawn.
No new Covid19 vaccine which is native spike protein based should be granted emergency use authorisation because the conditions required to make that legal do not obtain.
Specifically there are several safe & highly effective treatments.
Hydroxychloroquine, zinc, ivermectin, azithromycin, budesonide.
