With mainstream media outlets, seemingly, ignoring severe conflicts of interests between FDA Panel members with financial ties to vaccine manufacturers, Pfizer, it's no surprise that parents across the world will be soon telling their 5-11 year-old children to roll their sleeves up to be injected with a vaccine that, if government figures are to be believed, the majority of adults have already taken.
We can go one step further and quote the President of the United States, Joe Biden - president's don't lie, right, they never have, they never will.
“You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.” Biden added, "This is a simple, basic proposition: If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in an ICU unit, and you’re not going to die."
These two statements by Biden will serve to put the US public at ease. Thanks' Joe. Nothing like reassurances from a world leader.
You'd have to be from the Planet Zog not to challenge Biden's claims, either that or be totally brainwashed by the leaning-left political media.
I shake my head at times, not at Biden, not even at CNN, my head shakes in disbelief at members of the general public whom have been so taken in by this absurd narrative.
Biden is wrong when he says ,“You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.” Biden is also wrong when he claims, "This is a simple, basic proposition: If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in an ICU unit, and you’re not going to die."
Nonetheless, many of his voters will stand by these claims because, well, they elected him and he's much better than the other guy who was President.
I've seen nothing to suggest that he is, just a load of support on various social media outlets in the shape of various memes.
Biden has doubled-down and dangled a huge 'come gobble me carrot' in front of the FDA. Telling them, and the rest of the world, that the Administration has procured enough vaccine to support vaccination for the country’s 28 million children ages 5-11 years old, this before the FDA panel of 'experts' gave it the thumbs up. More about this decision below.
When something is wrong, say it's wrong. Biden isn't personally going to visit your home and condemn you for your lack of support. Trump isn't going to phone you up in the middle of the night and tell you, "I told you so."
This political allegiance baffles me. Just because you give someone your vote does not mean that you can never publicly chastise them for making such absurd claims as Biden has made regarding a virus and injections.
More people (that voted for him) need to call him out. They need to drop this false sense of loyalty they hold, they need to stop deflecting this misinformation by changing the subject to Biden's predecessor.
I don't care what you think about the opposition - it's history, let it go and focus on the bullshit staring you in the face. You're not being disloyal if you do this, you're part of the problem, however, if you don't.
Fast forward...
Last Friday (Oct 29) the FDA authorized the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 to include children 5 through 11 years of age, despite protestations from an advisory committee composed of independent experts to ensure deliberations about authorisation or licensure are transparent for the public.
The 8 hour meeting between interested parties can be viewed here.
Remarkably, we had one either side of the fence, a party representing reasons for and reasons against. Those in the reasons for camp, namely the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, have financial ties and/or relationships with Pfizer.
These include a former vice president of Pfizer Vaccines, a recent Pfizer consultant, a recent Pfizer research grant recipient, a member who runs a center that gives out Pfizer vaccines, the chair of a Pfizer data group, a member who was proudly photographed taking a Pfizer vaccine, and numerous people who are already on the record supporting Coronavirus vaccines for children.
It's also important to note that the former FDA Commissioner ,Scott Gottlieb, is on Pfizer’s board of directors.
It was pretty obvious how they would vote in favour, imagine if they didn't, Pfizer would have asked some serious questions about their loyalty.
Any such 'deliberation' between consumer safety advocates and FDA panels is therefore, surely, compromised by such a conflict of interests.
Those safety advocates faced an uphill battle from the get go given Biden had already told the heavily influenced Pfizer/FDA Panel that his Administration had already procured enough vaccine to support vaccination for the country’s 28 million children ages 5-11 years old.
This incestuous relationship between regulators and drug/juice manufacturers is clearly there to be seen yet it's only independent journalists and safety advocates that seem to be highlighting this. For this, they are labelled 'anti-vax' or other anti-narrative slurs.
Panel members with clear financial ties to manufacturers. Hey, no problem, no bias to see, right?
One of the most insidious mutterings I've heard in a long time came from Infectious disease specialist, and current editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr Eric Rubin, who said, “We’re never going to learn about how safe the vaccine is unless we start giving it. And that’s just the way it goes."
Meantime, millions of parents will be telling their 5-11 year-olds to roll up their sleeves in one of the biggest child experiments the world has ever seen.
This is absurd and its only a small proportion of people speaking out about it.
Even if you've had the juice, this cannot sit right with you.
Coming full circle
As Biden supporters stand by idly and don't condemn his misinformation, we now have two other sides of the fence. Those who have been juiced and those who haven't. The juiced, in the main, won't see the conflict of interests as an issue, they won't see the fact there is no long-term safety data for 5-11 year-olds as an issue either. The won't see any problems with the FDA and, indeed the CDC, not having access to Pfizer's clinical trial case report forms (Raw data). Even if they did take issue with any of the above it would be highly unlikely that a majority would say what an utter disgrace this was. Thinking it is and uttering to oneself that kids need and should be protected from financial bias isn't good enough, it won't take you to those pearly gates as 'good people', quite the opposite if you believe in Heaven that is.
Weighing up benefits and risks should be about benefits and risks to the intended recipients and not about the benefit and risks of making a financially driven decision, which is clearly what has happened here. It's political, it's money-driven, it's utterly repugnant.
Finally, if none of the above stirs any kind of response other than a shrug of the shoulders, one should study the following slide. Correlation will never equal causation if we have data collecting agencies who don't follow up any adverse reaction reports.
