WASHINGTON — Pfizer’s CEO says “it’s a question of days, not weeks” before the company and German partner BioNTech submit data to U.S. regulators for federal authorization of a COVID-19 vaccine for children age 5 to 11.

That would be an important step toward starting vaccinations for those youngsters, especially with kids now back in school and the delta variant resulting in a big jump in pediatric infections.
Pfizer said last week that its vaccine works for that age group and that it tested a much lower dose of the vaccine that’s already available for anyone 12 and older. The company said that after children age 5 to 11 got their second dose during testing, they developed coronavirus-fighting antibody levels just as strong as teenagers and young adults getting the regular-strength shots
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Sunday that if the Food and Drug Administration approves the company’s application, “we will be ready with our manufacturing to provide this new formulation of the vaccine.”
And when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic, he told ABC’s “This Week” that within a year, “I think we will be able to come back to normal life. I don’t think that this means that variants will not be continuing coming. And I don’t think that this means that we should be able to live our lives … without having vaccinations, basically.”
Bourla also said “we will have vaccines that … will last at least a year’’ and that “the most likely scenario, it is annual revaccinations.”
Caveat emptor. The FDA is more an invested arm of Pharma than it is an objective regulator of the government and the people.
Mandating for kids is where I draw the line
Don’t they dare mandate this for our kids. And we will keep our schools open on defiance of any silly rules
Excellent news! Now we just need to address the spiritual issues responsible for Hashem introducing this virus at this time, and we can move past this.
One more time:
Vote +1 if you care about kids.
Vote -1 if you’re a conspiracy theorist.
“Its a matter of days, not weeks [before we get to rake in a couple of more billions, on the expense of uneducated sheep that will run vaccinate their children because of political mandates, unions, and bs…]”
Unreal how stupid people really are.
Below from The American Academy of Pediatrics:
Mortality (45 states, NYC, PR and GU reported)*
Among states reporting, children were 0.00%-0.25% of all COVID-19 deaths, and 7 states reported zero child deaths.
In states reporting, 0.00%-0.03 of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in death.

Parents will not simply have their young children inoculated based on the say so of big pharmaceuticals.
