The Flimsy Evidence Behind the CDC’s Push to Vaccinate Children

The Trump vaccines appear to have a large average benefit, but the rush to vaccinate children is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of increasing ethical lapses in medicine.
Over in England, 5 times as many children committed suicided (probably from lockdowns!) as died (allegedly) from COVID.
Vaccinating a million children leading to unknown side effects on the developing bodies of young children to save one (1) life is absurd beyond any semblance of decency. Only a idiot or a medical expert) could think such violence is warranted. And it requires gross incompetence at basic math to argue for such a Orwellian regiment.
The Flimsy Evidence Behind the CDC’s Push to Vaccinate Children
by Marty Makary, July 19 2021. Emphasis added.
The agency overcounts Covid hospitalizations and deaths and won’t consider if one shot is sufficient.
A tremendous number of government and private policies affecting kids are based on one number: 335. That is how many children under 18 have died with a Covid diagnosis code in their record, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Yet the CDC, which has 21,000 employees, hasn’t researched each death to find out whether Covid caused it or if it involved a pre-existing medical condition.
Without these data, the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices decided in May that the benefits of two-dose vaccination outweigh the risks for all kids 12 to 15. I’ve written hundreds of peer-reviewed medical studies, and I can think of no journal editor who would accept the claim that 335 deaths resulted from a virus without data to indicate if the virus was incidental or causal, and without an analysis of relevant risk factors such as obesity.
...Meanwhile, we’ve already seen inflated Covid death numbers in the U.S. revised downward. Last month Alameda County, Calif., reduced its Covid death toll by 25% after state public-health officials insisted that deaths be attributed to Covid only if the virus was a direct or contributing factor.
...CDC Director Rochelle Walensky claimed that vaccinating a million adolescent kids would prevent 200 hospitalizations and one death over four months. But the agency’s Covid adolescent hospitalization report, like its death count, doesn’t distinguish on the website whether a child is hospitalized for Covid or with Covid. The subsequent Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report of that analysis revealed that 45.7% “were hospitalized for reasons that might not have been primarily related” to Covid-19.
An asymptomatic child who tests positive after being injured in a bicycle accident would be counted as a “Covid hospitalization.”
The CDC may also be undercapturing data on vaccine complications. The CDC’s risk-benefit analysis for vaccinating all children used rates of complications extrapolated from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System database, known as Vaers, which contains raw, self-reported data that is unverified and likely underreports adverse events.
Not only has the CDC refused to examine the possibility of a one-dose regimen for minors; Harvard epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff told me he was kicked off the advisory committee working group on Covid-vaccine safety after he expressed a dissenting opinion.
...Most striking, the CDC has never systematically collected and reported the No. 1 leading indicator of the pandemic—daily new hospitalizations for Covid sickness. Instead, the CDC offers the lagging indicator of hospitalization for anyone who tests positive for Covid.
...
WIND: sad of course, but a tiny number of deaths of children from COVID! Many of which probably were not from COVID. Smells fishy in terms of deciding public policy.
So we see a tremendous amount of bad science (anti-science) is being used around COVID, with dissenting views suppressed. Propaganda and opinions form the mainstay of public policy (masks, lockdowns, jab 'em all). It is grotesque from any moral or intellectual point of view. What a clusterf*ck.
And I’d like to know how many children get Long Haul COVID.
We deserve real data, and then adult judgment as in the best traditions of medicine (rare these days!), not the hysterical fearmongering we see with the leader of the CDC and similar government figures.
