A study of vaccinated parents & unvaccinated kids estimated having a single parent vaccinated w/ the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine associated w/ as much as 26.0% decreased risk of infection for children; with 2 vaccinated parents, risk decreased as much as 71.7%

The secondary attack rate from an infected parent to susceptible children in the household by parent vaccination status. The unit of observation for this analysis consisted of households in which a parent was infected with SARS-CoV-2. The exposure was the vaccination status of the index parent. The outcome was infection of at least one child in the household at days 3-8 following diagnosis of the index parent.

shows a schematic representation of the mechanism by which the direct protection of the parent and the reduction in the secondary attack rate comprise the indirect protection observed for the children.An illustration showing the indirect effect of parental vaccination on children’s risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and two of its composite parts: The direct effect of vaccination on the parents and the risk of transmission from an infected parent to his or her children .

In the sensitivity analysis using bacterial diarrhea as a negative control outcome, the association was -14% for one vaccinated parent and -16% for two vaccinated parents . In this study, we estimated the indirect protective effect of vaccinating parents with the BNT162B2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine on their children’s risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in households without prior infection. This estimation was performed both for the primary vaccine series during a period in which Alpha variant was dominant and for the vaccine booster dose during a period in which the Delta variant was dominant.

Previous findings have also shown a substantial indirect effect for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. A study focusing on unvaccinated spouses of healthcare workers found the indirect effect to be 43% ten weeks after receipt of the first vaccine dose (

Фальшивые исследования.

This is called nudging.

Accept you forgot the 0% concern for kids being affected.

Not with Omicron. You can’t isolate toddlers and kids.

These are lies. In fact that is the contribution the other way around.

I call BS!

90% decrease means the father has a vaccinated girlfriend

Fallace. Che senso ha studiare i risultati tra gennaio e marzo 2021 e luglio settembre 2021?

No one cares anymore.

Ummm... any parent knows flat out that everything kids get comes from school, not from home. And then they give it to their parents, who get 3x as sick as their kids. 😐

71.7% of 0.001 may as well just be 0.001, so really youre making zero benefit sound like its doing something?

So children's risk increased from before either parent was mRNA injected, when their chance of infection was only .00001. This is even more scary news, because it means the mRNA injections themselves are contagious bioweapons.

Awesome💪💪💪

Thank you

Billius27 It’s been way too long to get some good news for parents of kids under 5. This makes my heart so happy.

jmdogne Pouvez-vous confirmer ou infirmer que l’immunité naturelle est plus forte que l’immunité vaccinale? Comme le déclare le Pr. Caumes .

OR JUST GIVE THEM VACCINES immunizeunder5s

Really? And the kid only breeds the same air that their parents all the time? If the kids go to school they are done and the parents too.

Obviously figures of 'decreased risk of infection' with Omicron are quite different... 🤔

jmdogne Propagante, propagande quand tu nous tiens...

coasterpm Keep them home or with trusted vaccinated helpers and it will drop further. This is not rocket science. But the anti vaxx thinking is plain voodoo (not to insult true followers of Vodou).

RomainMartinIO Interesting! I see just the opposite picture. Younger kids are now getting more sick than the earlier stage of the pandemic. If vaccine cannot prevent transmission how these kids are protected?

Interview asked by RSN to authors? Done! Thank you for posting this! scicomm

STOP blaming children. Grow the fuck up. The parents didn't go to work? The bar? A restaurant? The salon? The grocery store? The insanity of blaming children is insane.

Nearly everyone I know that has been infected with Omicron (and was vaccinated) caught it FROM their kids, not the other way around.

Everyone I know who has been infected with Omicron in the last month has been fully vaccinated! This variant seems to be more contagious than a cold, quickly infects a whole household and symptoms resemble a 'very bad cold/flu'.

drsiyabmd DrKatEpi - I think this is great data!

It works within the household,and between households. Vaccination is a *social* act. Yet the ethical tension os social act vs. personal act continues.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky: “Our vaccines are working exceptionally well. They continue to work well for Delta with regard to sever illness and death. … but what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.”

Depends on the KIND of parents.

ENirenberg This is why my daycares and preschools in highly vaccinated areas were relatively safe before omicron. Hope we can get back to that

ENirenberg Major limitation is that these results were before Omicron came to the scene.

Vaccination before or after SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to robust humoral response and antibodies that effectively neutralize variantsVaccination either before or after SARSCoV2 infection may both confer stronger immune responses than vaccination alone, according to a new SciImmunology analysis of serum from 104 vaccinated people. SciImmunology This comparison doesn't make sense. The 'vaccine only' group had only two exposures, whereas the other two groups had three exposures. This increases the neutralization antibody responses. SciImmunology Ok SciImmunology Total BS. These injections never passed safety testing and have killed close to 500K Americans, and will kill millions over the long haul.
