NIH-Funded Study Doesn't Offer Great News for Vaccinated Children

So the vax gives kids 8 weeks of higher immunity; 4 weeks of waning immunity; and at 12 weeks it turns negative.

I bet their answer will be, boost every 12 weeks.

NIH-Funded Study Doesn't Offer Great News for Vaccinated Children

A new study conducted by public health researchers at the University of North Carolina and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services uncovered new information on the efficacy of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine in young people age 5 to 11.



The research, funded in part by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, found that against the omicron variant of COVID-19, children in the study group ended up seeing negative — yes, negative — effectiveness some 20 weeks after being vaccinated after peaking between 60 and 70 percent effectiveness.


The large cohort study tracked a 6-month window of time during which omicron was the dominant strain to see what protection was given by the Pfizer vaccine and by previous COVID infection — also known as acquired immunity — against COVID infection or COVID-related hospitalization and/or death.


As notes accompanying the study's publication in the New England Journal of Medicine explain, researchers looked at 887,193 children in the 5 to 11 age group among which 273,157 received at least one dose of Pfizer's COVID vaccine and 193,346 became infected with COVID. Of the positive cases, 309 were known to be hospitalized and 7 were known to have died, according to the study's authors.


Among the conclusions researchers drew from their study, the Pfizer vaccine was less effective against omicron than it was the earlier delta variant while a combination of acquired immunity from previous COVID infection combined with vaccine-induced immunity offered the best protection:

So vaccinate and boost your young child for what reason now?

President finally admitted what those of us with common sense knew for well over a year now, that Covid is done. I don't understand this continued push to vaccinate the one group of people 5-40 that were never at risk to begin with.

To teach them to subordinate themselves to the experts.

Well, no. That's not what the study said.

That's what a group of antivaxxer kooks claimed it said, which would be a totally different thing.

Anyways, antivaxxers making crap up really isn't news.

Kook.

[Bigdog]

Kook.

More like dumbass!

Just provided my answer though as to why kids who do not need to risk taking a non working vaccine are forced to. Because of scared little simp adults, like the one above, that fear they will catch it from them!

90% of the kids or more have already had COVID. They have the natural anti-bodies. They are not injecting them with a vaccine. They are drawing out a payment.


The vaccine designed for early variations is not even useful anymore.

I was shocked watching the Walmart Pharmacy commercial that has some 5 year old saying I got my shot to protect the baby......


Emotional Insanity pure and simple!

Then care to explain what it said somewhere in your name calling rant?

Of course not!




If you actually bothered to participate in civil debate would would suspect your account was hijacked!

I agree that commercial is disturbing, promoting the use of this non working vaccine in children under 5 who are literally at 0 threat regarding this now head cold is absolute insanity!
