Your Children As Guinea Pigs

On Tuesday The Conservative Treehouse posted an article about the move to approve Covid vaccines for children.

The article reports:

The FDA panel has voted 17 to 0 to approve the Pfizer vaccine for 5 to 11-year-olds.  One of the FDA Panelists, Dr. Ruben, outlined his support by saying We’re never gonna learn about how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it. That’s the way it goes.” 

Another panelist noted that 700 young people under the age of 18 have died ‘with‘ COVID, or COVID related symptoms in the past two years.  With the full support of the FDA panel, the large scale rollout of the vaccine in young children will now head to the CDC for final approvals. 

The statement We’re never gonna learn about how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it. That’s the way it goes.”  concerns me a great deal. It seems to me that children should not be the medium that the vaccine is tested on to determine if it is safe–it should have been tested to prove it is safe before it is used on children.

The article includes the following chart which illustrates why children do not actually need to be vaccinated:

Why is there such a rush to vaccinate children, when they are at very little risk of serious complications from the coronavirus?
