Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I want to think it’s a good thing, but, you know that the politics of the Vaccine Tyrants will soon come into play
Pfizer says its Covid vaccine is safe and effective for children ages 5 to 11
Pfizer-BioNTech said on Monday that the companies’ two-dose Covid-19 vaccine was safe and showed a “robust” antibody response in children ages 5 to 11.
Based on data collected in a trial that included more than 2,000 children, Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech, said in a press release that the vaccine was “safe, well-tolerated, and showed robust neutralizing antibody responses” for this age group. No Covid vaccines have yet been authorized or approved for use in children under 12.
According to Pfizer-BioNTech, the children in the trial were given two smaller doses of the vaccine than those given to people 12 and older. The companies said that it produced antibody responses, and side effects, in children that were comparable to those seen in a study of people 16 to 25 who received the full dose of the vaccine.

Pfizer-BioNTech said they will now submit their data from the trial to the FDA for emergency use authorization. They are also testing the vaccine in children under five and expect results from that trial by the end of the year.
So, they’re using children as guinea pigs? Anyway, it would certainly be a good thing for kids 5 to 11 to be able to get a vaccine to protect them from the worst effects of Wuhan Flu, since it seems that some of the variants are effecting them more. But, the number of cases involving that age group is still very low, and the vast majority of cases are mild, often less than a typical cold or flu case.
But, perhaps if they are able to get the vaccine then one of the main Reasons for requiring all school kids grade K-12 to wear a mask is to protect those under 12, since kids 12 and up are eligible for the vaccine. It’s a rather dubious assertion, which seems more about forcing compliance to Government than protecting kids, especially as no allowance is made for those who are already vaccinated, and, the younger the child, the more they need to see faces to learn social cues.
And, of course, even if the 5 to 12’s get the vaccine, you know the mask fetishists will still push for everyone to wear a mask (I’ll admit, wearing a mask mostly doesn’t bother me, because I can hide many facial expressions. It’s really only the ear straps, which can cause headaches. As anyone who wears glasses knows, the back of the ears are very sensitive. I’m also going to wear it as loose as possible, meaning it is basically working less than the 10% a cloth mask works). Masking is less about safety than Compliance. Virtually no other 1st World nation requires schoolkids to wear a mask in school. Nor make young children wear one anywhere.
The question now is, how soon till the COVID tyrants (who refuse to blame China) start demanding vaccine mandates for those 5 to 12? Because you know they will. Start requiring their vaccine papers to go to school, restaurants, stores, movies, etc? They just don’t seem to understand that they are causing more resistance than compliance.
