The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Dr. Anthony Fauci continue to push for all healthy children to receive four doses of the COVID vaccine, despite the lack of clinical outcome data to support this recommendation.
If public health officials get their way, every healthy 12-year-old girl in America will receive 70 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine over the course of her average life, with the risk of damaging the heart (myocarditis) with each injection.
Instead of following the science, US officials continue to propagate the old myths that vaccines prevent transmission and that myocarditis is more common after COVID than after the vaccine – not true.
Myocarditis occurs 4 to 28 times more frequently after vaccination in a cohort of young men. JAMA cardiology study found.
In a study by the University of Baselasymptomatic heart damage occurred in 2.8% of people after a COVID booster, as measured by a troponin test.
You may have missed this research because now we know that Big Tech censored any “content ranging from vaccines”, even medical research.
It is unethical to put children at risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis when almost all children have already had COVID.
Children have circulating antibodies that neutralize the virus, but these are antibodies that the government does not recognize.
The director of the CDC can’t even tell us if everyone a healthy child ever died of COVID (refused to provide details when asked during a congressional hearing).
In a German population studyNO healthy children aged 5 to 17 died from COVID (all deaths were children with comorbidities).
U.S. public health officials not only spread misinformation, they are also international exceptions.
The World Health Organization last week came so close to saying that healthy children should NO receive a COVID vaccine, considering the shot a low priority for healthy young people.
The WHO is also concerned that the absolutism by which the COVID vaccine is pushed to healthy young people is damaging credibility and resulting in lower regular vaccination rates for children.
Most Americans may be shocked to learn that the Moderna COVID vaccine has been banned or restricted in parts of Europe for people under 30.
Denmark and Sweden have officially recommended against vaccination of healthy children against COVID.
Other countries have also been cautious about recommending it given the risk of myocarditis – but not in America.
Unfortunately, I keep hearing from parents of schools and universities across the country (including my own) kicking out healthy students or blocking them from enrolling if they don’t have a COVID booster vaccine.
Cornell just announced that it is waiving the booster requirement, but still mandating a core batch of vaccines for freshmen arriving next year.
Ironic because universities are supposed to have smart people.
Sure, post-vaccination myocarditis is usually mild.
But that’s not reassuring if you’re an ICU patient.
IN New England Journal of Medicine analysis Of the 136 people hospitalized with vaccine-induced myocarditis, two were critically ill and one 22-year-old died.
The CDC, instead of making public its investigations into children dying immediately after the COVID vaccine, is busy colluding with Big Tech to shut down the scientific debate and censor real patient stories.
In particular, it labels medical viewpoints as misinformation when they differ from its own Ministry of Truth.
Indeed, the biggest proponent of disinformation during the pandemic has been the US federal government.
Public health officials deceived themselves last month by claiming that Novak Djokovic cannot travel to Florida to play outdoor tennis because he is not vaccinated.
This position of the Biden administration embodies everything wrong with public health policy today:
- Ignoring natural immunity.
- Downplaying vaccine-induced myocarditis in young men.
- Ignoring data on how very low the risk of the virus is for healthy young people.
- Rejecting data that vaccines do not prevent transmission.
- Creating vaccine hesitation by arrogantly insisting on vaccination mandates.
- Destroying public health trust by being so out of touch with reality.
- Crying wolf, renewing the state of emergency indefinitely.
When COVID became an epidemic in northern Italy before spreading to the United States, Americans argued that we would have handled the virus better because of American exceptionalism.
Well, our public health leaders have indeed proven how exceptional they can be in ignoring myocarditis, ignoring natural immunity, and demanding that all healthy children receive infinite doses of the COVID vaccine without supporting data.
