Oliver Harris, 9 months, cries after receiving a vaccine against the coronavirus disease at Northwell Health's Cohen Children's Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York, U.S., June 22, 2022. REUTERS/Shannon StapletonThe Food and Drug Administration on Thursday authorized updated Covid shots that target the omicron variant for children as young as 6 months old.

Children 6 months through 5 years old who received Moderna's original vaccines are now eligible for an omicron booster two months after finishing their primary series. Kids ages 6 months through 4 years old who have not yet started Pfizer's three-dose primary series are eligible to receive an omicron shot as their third dose.

But kids in the same age group who have already completed Pfizer's three-dose primary series cannot get the omicron shot as a booster at this time.

Yeah, poison your kids.

You are gross. Shame on you.

Wtf is this picture and headline?

Sickening

Disgraceful to approve a vaccine for children when there is no long term study on what the shot or disease will do to their development.

Please don't 🤦🏻‍♀️

If you’re willing to do this after all we have seen experienced and learned after three years then have at it i guess. It’s insane to give that to a baby

I wonder which irresponsible parent will give their own child this drug.

mRNA VACCINES....CRIME AT THE ADDRESS OF HUMANITY. STOP CRIMINAL VACCINATION!

CRIMINALS, KILLED CHILDREN

Don't do jt

Aren’t they still under emergency use authorization? I don’t think it’s an “emergency” for that age group at this point.

Don't do it. Child abuse.

Dislike button needed

Who in their right mind would give this shit to infants?

Absolutely not….
