Based on a study of 140 children, Pfizer is set to ask the FDA to allow a 3rd ‘Covid’ jab for healthy 5-to-11-year olds.
Pfizer and BioNTech said they plan to apply for Emergency Use Authorization of a covid booster dose for 5- to 11-year-olds based on results of a small study that has not been published or analyzed by independent experts.

They also plan to request authorization from the European Medicines Agency and other regulatory agencies around the world as soon as possible.
The Defender reports: Pfizer said in a press release the third dose of its vaccine produced significant protection against the Omicron variant in children 5 to 11 in a small Phase 2/3 clinical trial.
The study was based on data from only 140 children 5 through 11 years old who received a booster dose six months after the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID vaccine as part of the primary series.
A closer look at 30 children showed a 36-fold increase in virus-fighting antibodies — levels high enough to fight the Omicron variant, ABC News reported.
Pfizer claimed the third dose was “well tolerated with no new safety signals observed.”
Although Pfizer said more than 10,000 children under the age of 12 have participated in clinical trials investigating Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, only 140 were selected for the study forming the basis for the company’s EUA request.
Commenting on the news, Dr. Brian Hooker said, “The clinical trial used to support the notion of a COVID-19 booster for 5- to 11-year-olds is entirely inadequate to make any such recommendation.”
Hooker, chief science advisor at Children’s Health Defense (CHD), added:
“This small-scale, limited-time trial contains only 140 patients, which is not sufficiently sized to assess vaccine adverse events at all, especially rarer injuries such as the devastating medical maladies sustained by Maddie de Garay — an adolescent injured in the original Pfizer clinical trial.”
Hooker said he was also concerned there are “no data on the prevention of COVID-19 infection, only neutralizing antibody titers, which are not necessarily predictive of transmission and severity of the disease.”
Dr. Liz Mumper, a pediatrician, said, “Once again, Pfizer does science by press release.” Mumper said the rise in antibody titers is just one small piece of the story of kids and COVID.
“The more important issue is that, on the basis of careful risk-versus-benefit analysis, healthy children do not need a COVID vaccine,” Mumper said, because many kids already had COVID and developed robust and durable antibodies.
CHD President Mary Holland accused Pfizer of reaching “a new low” by seeking authorization of booster shots for children based on an “unpublished, non-peer-reviewed study of 140 children.”
Holland said:
“Following the science on COVID vaccination shows that the risks outweigh the benefits for COVID shots for kids, let alone boosters. One suspects this is simply a misguided ploy to use up Pfizer’s vaccine inventory before its expiration.”
Pfizer tested its booster dose while Omicron was the dominant variant this winter. In recent weeks, BA.2 has become the dominant COVID variant. It has not been determined whether a third dose provides any protection against the new variant.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2021 authorized the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine for children 5 through 11 and recently authorized a booster dose for teens 12 through 15 and older and also immunocompromised children 5 and older.
According to a study published late last month in The New England Journal of Medicine, Pfizer’s vaccine showed “reduced effectiveness” against the Omicron variant among children 12 and older.

Before anyone here was jabbed we had 4 or 5 cases a day Now after a year of sticking people with aborted babies and spike proteins and graphene oxide today we had almost 8000 cases Just today .They just want the money .And that’s a decline because it’s a public holiday and people are busy doing things so not getting tested .
Death penalty for any nurse or doctor that gives this injection to a child.
Something should also be done about ignorant/gullible parents and grandparents who bring their children to the evil dr.s and nurses who administer the death-jab. I’m no longer on speaking terms with a MSM deluded aunt who did this to my second cousins.
Those poor young souls betrayed by their parents will forever have serious health issues, a compromised immune system and be under the control grid of the pharmaceutical empires.
