It also reduces the likelihood that children will have to miss school and other activities that are important for their development, says Robert Frenck at CincyChildrens If you’d like to know more, read our full article here:

Covid-19 vaccines for children under 5 may be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration next month and become available in the US soon after. The first covid-19 vaccines for people aged 16 and older were approved by authorities in the UK and US in early December 2020, and within days, . This all took place less than a year after the virus was identified – the fastest vaccine development in history.App + Web

Muzzled and jabbed with for no reason. Absolutely disgusting.

Who the hell would be insane enough to give a risky vaccine to a tiny child with essentially zero risk for Covid complications?

There’s no more pandemic and children do not need this. 🙄

Why? They’re not at serious risk and the vaccine doesn’t appear to have any significant benefit.

It’s taking so long because there are still people who cares about children and think it’s morally wrong to subject them experimental gene modification

Disgusting, absolutely horrific

Important health-related articles like this shouldn't be behind a paywall. Otherwise where do you think ppl will get their info from on this sort of thing? Remember, 100% of disinformation online is free. Valuable info that combats that unfortunately isn't--that needs to change

How much did Pfizer pay you to run this article?

It's disgusting seeing children being potentially harmed with virtually no benefit to them for big pharma profit.

Stay away from my son, big pharma satanists

So many covid vaccine push articles. Do you disclose paid articles coz these all looks like they have been paid off by Big Phama.

Simple really, most of them don’t need it

It's not the conventional ethical case, as the young child gets no real and direct benefit themselves. If they are living with a highly vulnerable immunocompromised parent, then it's clearly in the infant's interest that their parent should not die.

but why? protection from vaccine is very low, and children seem to handle the virus more than great. why the hell is this neccesity? i had 2 jabs, will not receive any more as it is proven that it cannot do anything even in highly vaccinated populations, this is complete nonsense

Are you sponsored by Bill Gates or WHO, considering that you advocate covid vaccines more than them combined?

Great propaganda!

Simple, the risks outweigh the benefits for any child. Arm floaties and snorkels on every kid would save more kids.. Its just a money/power grab with no real benefits.

Stop poisoning our children!!!!!

The virus simply does not present a credible risk for the very young. That can't be said for the vaccines. You might as well mandate hard hats be warn from birth to protect from stray meteorites. Get a grip!

Not needed for God's sake

Because they don’t need them!

CincyChildrens Getting my 4 year old vaccinated is our families final hurdle. After they are vaccinated I’m done masking where not required. I with they would hurry the fuck up.

CincyChildrens Don't give us your crap, 'It also reduces the likelihood that children will have to miss school and other activities that are important for their development'

CincyChildrens Its absolutely unneccesary. Doesnt stop them catching or spreading it and the mortality rate of covid for this demographic is absolutely miniscule.

CincyChildrens That useless mask will not stop airborne viruses. Covid hysteria hampers children's development more than anything else.

CincyChildrens Don't take it. Don't do it to your kids.

CincyChildrens 💩💩💩

CincyChildrens Now do masks for thousands of hours and their development, social and mental

CincyChildrens Lies. Criminals. No need to read your pseudo article Children don’t need this experimental vax shameonyou novaccineforchildren Hopefully, parents know better protectyourchildrenfromcovidvax

CincyChildrens COVID19 omicron _ Perhaps because it's slowly dawning on people that it's nearly all the old/obese and immune suppressed people who are at risk, and healthy children are almost immune from covid. Stop scaremongering!

CincyChildrens How does the vaccine help? Does the vaccine stop them catching or spreading it? Also how does a vaccine designed for covid classic help protect against new variants ?

CincyChildrens Shove it

CincyChildrens So you're not scientists you're state media mouthpieces. Two strikes. Do you do any science?

CincyChildrens The way things have gone I don’t trust the FDA or Fauci.

Scientists explain why getting infected with omicron doesn't protect you from other COVID variantsPrior to this study, scientists believed that earlier strains of the virus would create enough natural immunity for weeks and even months if you were unvaccinated. That's not entirely the case with omicron. Be afraid! VERY afraid!!!! Sponsor by P****R...

Why COVID outbreaks are still a mystery in NYC schoolsFor many worried about COVID-19 in New York City schools, the last few weeks may feel like déjà vu. Omicron subvariants are rapidly spreading through classrooms, yet some parents and teachers say limited action is being taken to contain the surge. Because Eric Adams has a policy of letting Covid19 rip through educators and students -- and their families. And there's been no consequence to this deadly negligence. 'Out sick' can mean many things. But more often than not these days, every teacher knows what that means. And yet, they receive delayed (if at all) communication about a new case. I think most parents have gotten smart and don’t want to risk another shutdown so it’s best to keep results to yourself.
