Today I read that the FDA has authorized boosters for kids 5-11.
Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA's top vaccine regulator, noted Tuesday that parents can protect their children from "potentially severe consequences" of Covid by getting them vaccinated with the two-dose primary series.
Read that article, if you dare. The “potentially” and “should” and “probably” and this little gem were glaringly obvious to me:
Two doses were very good at protecting against mild disease from the delta variant “but not very good against omicron,” Offit said.
These should cause any right-thinking parent to pause.
How can you say it “protects from ‘potentially severe consequences’” and then in the same article say “but not very good against omicron”?
Anyway, this post is about asking questions.
Here are some questions that would be worth asking if you are considering dosing (or boosting) your little one.
If you already have given them the “recommended two-dose”, you might pause to ask about the need/frequency of the boosters.
If you haven’t given them any doses yet, you might pause and ask about the risk analysis for COVID-19 vs. “vaccine” and how that applies to your little one.
Ask your health-care provider. If they can’t easily answer, that should give you pause. If they make you feel guilty for asking these that should give you a big pause (as if being hesitant about a medical procedure for your child and wanting to be better informed makes you a bad parent?!).
These are just some off the top of my head. Feel free to suggest more/better questions in the comments.
What are the risks of ongoing injections of mRNA into my child? And when is it “enough”?
They say that the injections resulted in elevated antibodies, but do you have data that show that this necessarily means elevated protection against COVID-19? (high antibody levels in and of itself doesn’t mean sustained, ongoing protection)
The predominant strain of SARS-CoV-2 now is Omicron (with a variety of variants). You say this “vaccine” is good at protecting against Delta, but not against Omicron, so tell me again why I should let you inject this into my child?
What about side effects? What about adverse events? What sorts of things should be I concerned about with regards to these two?
What about liability? If my child has a bad adverse event (like myocarditis) am I just on my own or will there be any help/liability from you? or from the drug company? or from the government?
I understand that COVID-19 is highly age stratified: the older you are the higher the risk, thus the 5-11 should be among the LOWEST risk of catching COVID-19 and/or having a bad run with it. I further understand that the adverse event profiles seem to be age stratified as well, but in the reverse direction, with younger people having more adverse events. So explain to me again: why should I let you inject my low-risk child with a high(er) risk experimental biological agent?
What about treatment options instead? Even if my child should come down with a bad case of COVID-19, are there viable options for treating? (hint: yes there are)
What about helping my child to avoid COVID-19 altogether? What prophylaxis options are there to boost their immune system and increase their overall health? What do you recommend?
I don’t know where you sit, as a parent, on all of this, but the common ground between all of us as parents should be that we all want what is best for our children. Or to be more blunt: I want what is best for my kids, and I assume that you want want is best for your kids.
So take the time, figure out what you believe is the best for your kids. Be open minded. Be willing to think critically. Be willing to ask questions.
In short: I’m convinced that there is no reason to inject these “vaccines” in my kids even if they were safe and effective (I believe they are neither, on balance). Add to that the fact that my wife and I had and recovered from COVID-19 and both my kids almost certainly were exposed to it through us (or others) and therefore we all have natural immunity (robust, long-lasting).
If you are willing to read on, here are a number of articles from people I follow and have come to trust that helped guide me to my conclusions with regards to COVID-19 and my kids.

Or from Dr. Malone:
And other from him (just posted today):
And some more (I’m a wishy-washy Alex Berenson fan… sometimes I like what he writes, sometimes I don’t, but this was pretty good):

Or what about Steve Kirsch:
And this one:
And a good explanation of why the push for “vaccines” for kids:
And here’s an eye opener, just to keep things in their proper perspective:
And the case of Maddie de Garay is worth reading about, albeit a bit of a heart wrencher:
Some good food for thought:

I’m sure I could find TONS more (and I’ll be happy to add to this as others suggest), but that alone should be plenty of information for anyone to digest.
Stay informed. Fight for your kids.
