GovJVentura What has happened to you Jesse?

GovJVentura Jesse you exposed these people in 2009

What about Maddie de Garay?

Where children who already caught and recovered from Covid specifically included and categorized in this trial?

if they dont drop dead within 2 hours of taking it, it is a success, let see how safe it is in 5 years time when it has been topped up with 10 booster shots

Keep your vaccines to yourself freaks

Pfizer says their vaccines are safe for children, what a big big surprise 😏🤡

pfizer is well known for lying about how safe their products are. In fact, most of their products don't do anything whatsoever, besides screwing up people's natural immunity. They're nothing but a dead cost to society...

Oh this is just fucked.

Is your governor trying to kill your babies and grandbabies? Yeah, mine too! Stand fast Mamas and Papas, here comes something to save the innocents from being slaughtered by the murderous bioterrorists, coming soon to a small child near you!

Says Pfizer .

The people in this thread should have their kids taken from from them!

If it’s so good, why not be liable if anything goes wrong?

May He have mercy on your soul.

Over my unvaccinated dead body 😏

'No escape from the mass mind rape Play it again jack and then rewind the tape And then play it again and again and again Until ya mind is locked in Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya They say jump and ya say how high'

So Pfizer have tested 5 year olds against infertility side effects!!

How many 5 to 11 year olds have died from covid worldwide.. The immune system is there for a reason

Not worried about no long term data

Do not use it on small kids. Let's have at least one year study on children

do not give this vaccine to your children.....check the gov. whistleblower about the hidden side effects unreported!

Time for the vaccination cards on the black market

That's weird. How can they be 'safe and effective' for children if they're not 'safe and effective' for adults?

There is no reason to give kids the shot. They aren't at risk of covid except in very special cases

That’s quite an encouraging news, our kids remain unprotected and vulnerable to COVID for far too long

Early results? What about long term results? These are children who will rarely contract or get ill from Covid. Why can’t you wait for the long term results rather than results from the first 100 or so jabs?

The fact about viruses & herd immunity is that both do not care about your personal emotions, feelings, and opinions.

pfizer says? cool, cool

bull crap there is NO long term testing and the parents that force this on their kids should be ashamed

Pfizer, if it's safe then why don't you take full responsibility for any harm that your so called vaccine causes! Not going to happen is it?

Pfizer are a bunch of liars..

I am not Reid I would give this vaccine to a child.

If the corporation responsible for the largest criminal penalty in history says it’s safe, then it must be true.

Not according to the FDA

“It’s hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.” -Thomas Sowell

No, just no! Kids that age are perfectly safe without this unsafe vaccine! What is this madness!

Lies? Pfizer has paid $4 Billion for criminal & civil convictions since 2000. Kids cannot consent yet may have adverse reactions lasting a lifetime. Besides is there even a virus

HotepJesus bruh! All the support is coming from bot accounts. Faking support.

Good, stick it the billionaires kids who are making money from this plandemic vaccine.

I want to start a new party! The OPP- Other People's Party! Made up of Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Poor People, People Of Color, with the American's best interest at heart not the wealthy & corporate America! Void of dark $ & funded by The People no Corporate dark $!

What if you can't, what about ppl like me who can't work, because they can't get the vaccine due to their health!? People like me who have tried to find a job to fit their new lifestyle due to the virus? Just leave em behind to rot! Right POTUS GOP GovStitt SpeakerPelosi

Why is nobody talking about the millions left behind to rot for corporate America? The financial devastation caused by letting the pandemic unemployment benefits expire? CNN maddow MSNBC POTUS VP chrislhayes ChrisCuomo or doe's no one give a damn about us!?

don’t care

Cool, now we're going to poison children.

Stop promoting vax! Liberal Choice MyBodyMyChoice including kid's! Not enough study about what after 5 year's! This vax Fashion has to stop.

CHINKOVAC COME OUTSIDE WE WANT TO TALK

Absolutely incredible. Can’t wait to see what they about under 5 🥰

Is there somewhere we can read the papers that were peer reviewed on these trials?

“Safe and effective” is the phrase of 2021

Stop lying…anyone who looks at the data knows the cohorts are too small.

Bull shit

ProjectVeritas

Great news.

Pfizer wants to make money 💰

More kids would prefer to take Vaxart 💊 than get a 💉Let’s fundthepill

THE ONLY VACCINE I WILL ACCEPT IS NOVAVAX. ONLY NOVAVAX. GIVE ME NOVAVAX. ONLY NOVAVAX

How soon can I vaccinate my 2 month old baby boy! I’m so excited , can’t wait for him to get the Pfizer! Wait that’s pretty bigoted of me to say he’s a boy. It’s not up to me to decide if he’s a boy or not. That’s his or hers choice. TransWomenAreWomen Pfizervaccine

2. ,...FAR BIGGER concern: WHAT PROPORTION of these kids will ACTUALLY TAKE vaccines given SO MANY are STILL OBSESSING OVER...,(September 20, 2021; 7:30 EDT) vaccineDEATHS

1. GOOD news: now approved for FIVE-year-olds..., (September 20, 2021; 7:30 EDT) PFIZERVACCINE PFIZER

This 👇🏼☠️💀🤢👿. Pfizer’s criminal history and fined for over 4 BILLION dollars for marketing and selling harmful drugs.

Thank god for homeschool!

why are they hiding the Trial Size? that is the Truth of any study. If only 20,000 compared to 2 million, the sideeffects, adverse affects are all almost nonexistant. A STUDY group of Less than 20K is small enough to make sure it will Pass./just like the original 34K for adults

Pfizer says….. Pfizer fact checked themselves?

Yayy a for profit Corp giving the green light. You parents must be relieved! But you don’t bat an eye when feeding your kids daily fast foods. Real killers are juvenile diseases like diabetes and hypertension.

THEY PLAN TO CUT OFF THE FOOD SUPPLY SOON

Early results are so reliable. Just look at Chantix!

What about the 30 teens dead already? They lie about it killing adults, teens and now they will lie about the babies. So many coincidences. Murderers.

kids that young dont need a vaccine, their immune system should be healthy and strong. dont mess with it.

How do they get people to consent to their children being the guinea pigs for this?

you people can't see goal posts moving over and over?

Stop LYING!!!!

If you put this crap into your child this early, you’re a bad parent. Fully vaccinated woman, right here.

If true, this could impact all JAB stocks..MRNA,etc

Parents: Com'on!....We finna take a ride

My kids will have it as soon as it’s available

So here is my question. If corona killed 45% of unvaccinated Israelis that contracted it last month who were the other 55% that died from corona? Israel is one of the top vaccinated nations in the world BTW.

Very efficient & Extra safe.

Is that safe and effective like centrix was safe and effective? Accutane? Thalidomide? Cipro? THAT kind of safe and effective

I say this as a fully vaxxed adult, I am wary of this after reading that a panel of medical experts in Hong Kong determined that microcardia was so significant amongst youths 12 to 17 that only one dose is recommended instead of two.

No matter what their goal is mass murder - nothing more , nothing less!

Too bad kids dying of CoVid is not a pandemic or endemic.

$$$$

Man they really trying to get their chemical in everyone over a virus that over 98% of infected people recovered from and most didn’t even need to go to the hospital 🤔

I see this as a fully vaxxed adult, I am wary of this after reading that a panel of medical experts in Hong Kong determined that microcardia was so significant amongst youths 12 to 17 that only one dose is recommended instead of two.

Great news!!

👏👏👏

Why would children need a vaccine when the mortality rate is below one one-thousandth of one percent? Half of what the flu is for children. FactsMatter

Today in child abuse :

I used to worry about stepping on dirty needles when I walked around a city. Now I just pick them up and inject myself in hopes that it’s some of that sweet gene therapy!!

Why do people require 3 doses? if Pfizer is only a gene Donald Trump is a thief

Only anti-vax terrorists refuse to get vaccinated sadly. They are purposely spreading covid to kill/sicken people, that is domestic terrorism imo. Vaccines need to be mandated and the people who refuse to get them shouldn't be part of society, as they are causing 1 in 500 deaths

Can’t wait!!! My 6 year old wants this and we can’t wait to have her be protected…..hope this happens quick

Comment section brought to you by one of major pharmaceutical companies

Who the crap is letting them test on their kids?

This is great news! Please vaccinate everyone. Love others. Love the children We can do it together❤️🙏

i remember vividly getting vaccinated at the age of 6. I don't know why, but it's a very vivid memory.

I hope my young grandkids stay well long enough to get it. One already had Covid, apparently from exposure at school.

When “Pfizer says” something is safe…

Well it isn't peer reviewed so we just taking Big Pharma at their word, cool.

Early results Children have less than 1% chance of dying from COVID so why risk the unknown long-term effects? Stop pushing this to make money! Just STOP!

Loool you think my child is sticking that in his arms you are absolutely wrong. Go away

No data to support mass vaccinating kids. Here’s the cdc data in kids and covid.

Wonder what studies they've conducted on long term impacts to fertility.

What is the purpose of vaccinating these kids when the vaccine does not stop them from catching It and having to quarantine and wear masks anyway there is a .002% chance of hospitalization so this is just Subjecting children to untested vaccine long-term effects FDA CDC

A new study out of Israel says that natural immunity is far superior than the vaxxed immunity.. it is estimated that there are about a hundred million who have already been been infected with the virus in America. why do we need it if we are young and healthy and have had covid

She had the first dose of the Pfizer vaccination on April 24 2021. Shortly after her vaccination she ended up in a wheelchair

She received her first Pfizer Covid Vaccination on March 18th, 2021 without prior exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Examination showed distal weakness, sensory loss, hyporeflexia, Romberg EMG autoimmune chronic demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.

Trials. Use our children for trials! 1400+ dead from your trials in U.S. you will be held accountable..there is no escaping judgement day. God have mercy on your souls

This vaccine barely works on adults.

'Safe and effective' 😂

My kid is 16 and I wouldn't trust Pfizer with his life.

Get that shit out of here. Those vacs are going no where near my kids. Experimenting on kids is sick.

Does anyone know the total deaths from this?

as long as theyre not under 4 yrs old. you should of seen those kids side effects in Africa where they do testing. maybe one day we will see testing done on kids from Malibu and Beverly Hills...right here in America? ...maybe? no way!!!

I think kids should still be safe. I'm mad that they have to go to school in person. That should have been left to those in middle school and up since they are older and can be vaccinated.

This is on the U.S. NIH website about Pfizer's past crimes published in 2010: 'Pfizer has been a “habitual offender,' persistently engaging in illegal and corrupt marketing practices, BRIBING PHYSICIANS and SUPPRESSING ADVERSE TRIAL RESULTS.'

Kids aren't getting sick. And the vaccinated are still spreading covid. Get a vaccine that works

Yall are Nuts

The main question is: Who were the guinea pigs? KIDS? C'mon sorcerers Pfizer! How could those GREEDY pharmas get any credible tests of their jabs if they didn't try them on KIDS?😠😠😠😱😱😨😨😨😨😰

I vaccinated all the kids in my neighborhood (the actual vaccine, not what you Karen's are thinking) Charged them 5 bucks and business was good 💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉 ProtectOurChildren

Based on testing less than 3,000 kids? Seems legit.

Hell nah

Pfizer also said people needed boosters soooooo

DISGUSTING...WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

Early results showed this was safe too. Let’s wait for more research to be done on short & long term effects before injecting our children

When you're too foolish to protect yourself, your kids and those around you, you're ready to be a proud member of the Republican party.

omg yes!!! I can't wait to inject my fetus with this shot!!!! WE NEED MORE SHOTS TO KEEP US SAFE!! I TRUST DA SCIENCE AND SHIT!!! Im gonna inject my husbands sperm too with the miracle shot!!

'Safe' and unnecessary.

ChrystalChipria if you haven't seen this yet

No.

Epidemiologist have long known that along with anti-vaxxers, unvaccinated kids are the primary reasons for the 4th wave, and why we still haven’t reached herd immunity! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Insanity

Come anywhere near my kids with a needle And I will exercise my 2nd amendment rights!!

This is child abuse

Sacrifice the children so that seniors can go to the bar.

childabuse justsayNO

Like we couldn't have just given it to kids and found out the quick way?

Pfizer says it's safe an effective but they won't take responsibility for it if they're wrong.

No thanks

Ahh bullshit everywhere, making all these claims before there is adequate information to study. Stop lying to citizens for profit and give all true information at once down the road when there is enough data to study. Untill then, I'd say wear masks and stay away

It is disturbing to me that any parent would offer their children up like they were cattle to be experimented on.

Inject them now

What the side effects ? Don't see that 🤔

migdaliamon interesting 🤔

This such a great news!

Yes, very looking fwd to take my 9 n 11 yrs old for Covid-19 vaccination. My 21 n 18 already fully vaccinated while my 16 is awaiting for the 2nd dose. I, myself, hv been fully vaccinated since June. ☺️ 💜

This is huge

If you want to give your kid the jab, fine, go ahead. But I have seen no scientific reason to give my kids the vaccine.

That is awesome now

Good news for those who want their kids to live👌

FAKE NEWS. The FDA doctor panel almost unanimously voted that these vacccines concern them for younger adult and children's health because of life threatening side effects. That concern doesn't just go away over the weekend because of a few kids getting stabbed...

Is it effective like the shit they injected people in Israel Don't make me laugh and stop peddling this poison in a vial. How could anybody be such an idiot and still believe in efficacy of this experimental shit 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Does phizer own Epipen

Unless your name is Maddie de Garay.... FDA - you need to do better.

LONG TERM STUDIES NEED TO BE DONE, BEFORE THESE CHILDREN ARE FORCED TO TAKE THIS! I WOULD PULL MY KID FROM SCHOOL.. WOULD NOT BE PUTTING AN EXPERIMENT INTO MY CHILDREN! ESPECIALLY POLICALLY DRIVEN. TOO MANY INTITIES INVOLVED WITH FORCING THIS. WHERE'S HIPPA?

COVID is safe for children ages 5 to 11.

The Pfizer company with some of the highest penalities for bribery, false information coverups of negative results? that Pfizer?

It's just so weird, were day 592 and now the only people scared are the vaccinated. How ironic

What were the trials done with? How long were the trials done for? These vaccines are not working in adults. If they worked, there wouldn't still be so many getting the virus. People are dying even with vaccine. Aren't people being told to take it so they don't get sick & die?

Opinion

Nope! Lol

Of course, it fits the narrative. It's criminal to give this to kids that have a zero percent dying from this virus.

I love how the media props up only the pfizer vaccine as safe. What about the other two vaccines millions of americans went out and got?

Not today satan

How could they possibly know the long-term effects of how this might affect a child's fertility? We already know it affects women's menstrual cycles.

Funny thing about this.... They tested it as it came out for the public and announced that it wasn't safe for kids only adults..... Now, they are saying that it is safe. 🤔

LIES! show us the DATA!!!!

LOL. Pharma companies have just become government sponsored, legalized drug pushers. They put guys like Pablo Escobar and Mexican drug cartels to shame.

I wish for their sakes it was Moderna, but something is better than nothing...

Great please release it 😊

You crazy people go ahead and vax your kids for a disease from which they are at zero risk (unless they're obese from all the junk food you fed them).

There have been 0 USA children that have died from COVID without having an underlying medical condition. Children Pneumonia deaths are more than double the COVID children deaths. More children have also been shot in Chicago this year than COVID children deaths. Priorities

Father here, call me when you have late results.

Bbbbbuuuuuuullllllllllllll sh*t

Children DO NOT NEED THE VACCINE. This is insane!!!! Look at the data!!! Report the data!!! Stop lining corrupt Pfizer pockets.

Killers. Murderers. Leave the kids alone!

Ummm

It's really safe for the plan.

vaccinate the kids before they build a natural immunity

You are really going to inject your kids with something that has not been tested?

hahahaha

So now we're going to vaccinate kids that have VERY low risk from covid in order to protect older, at-risk people who won't get the vaccine? Wtf?

Is anybody else questioning why Pfizer has said their vaccine works for children BEFORE even submitting such data to the FDA? I would also like to know how it is safe for a 40lb 5-year-old girl to get the same dose as a 130lb 11-year-old boy.

GovJVentura Soooooo safe and effektive

Jaxon will be 5 November 25th. What a nice gift 😊

1-4 year olds possibly next year?

PROTECT THE CHILDREN!!!! 😂

If it doesn’t prevent spread and the disease is less severe than the flu for most kids, then why take the risk? My kid has COVID and it lasted one day.

' COVID vaccine is safe and effective for children ages 5 to 11.' I already knew that.

GovJVentura

Lies

Tonnes of autism coming through guys. Get out of the way. 👣

FDA just voted against Booster shots because of inlarged hearts from the original 'experimental vaccine'

Trying to figure out how all these kids are still alive without being vaccinated? Doesn't make sense

Pfizer did same thing w/ incomplete data for uniform boosters. Trying to hype its product to create public pressure for FDA approval. NPR: report the pr end of the Pfizer gambit. Help FDA stay above publicity pressure.

This is great news for schools.

Nope!

The stupid on this thread is amazing. No shot fine then when you get it don’t go to the hospital. Problem solved.

Moderna has proven more effective for adults so far but Pfizer says that IT'S vaccine is safe and effective for children. . . just another reason I don't pay that much attention to mainstream news media anymore.

🧢

Hooray, please get it rolled out by October, so we have enough time to get children vaxxed b/4 Thanksgiving and holiday breaks.

get those kids vaccinated asap so school can be more normal again

Do you hear that? That’s the sound of the GQP buying more stock in Pfizer.

Already vaccinating kids 5 and more in Slovakia.🤔

Wonderful news, I’ll get my kids vaccinated as soon as they’re approved.
