The New York State Department of Health found that the effectiveness of Pfizer's vaccine against Covid infection plummeted from 68% to 12% for children ages 5 to 11 as the omicron variant surged.

The New York State Department of Health found that the effectiveness of Pfizer's vaccine against Covid infection plummeted from 68% to 12% for children ages 5 to 11 as the omicron variant surged from Dec. 13 through Jan 24. Protection against hospitalization in this age group dropped from 100% to 48% during the same period., the academic gold standard. Scientists have been publishing the results of their studies before review due to the urgency of the pandemic.

The researchers compared 11- and 12-year-olds, who receive different dosage levels but have similar physiology given that they're nearly the same age. The effectiveness of the vaccine against infection for 11-year-olds dropped to 11%, while the two higher dose shots gave 12-year-olds 67% protection during the week ending Jan. 30.

For children ages 12- to 17-years-old, vaccine effectiveness against infection dropped from 66% to 51% from December through the end of January. Protection against hospitalization dropped from 85% to 73% for teenagers during the same period.

In light of the option to quarantine, i'd say this must be considered close to murder.

Yet this jab keeps getting pushed to the general public. 🙄

Wouldn’t they have known this from studies before administering? Or is the general public now a Petri dish of test subjects?
