CDC Votes on C-19 Vaccines in the Childhood Immunization Schedule

Why the C-19 vaccine should not be added to the immunization schedule

As the CDC prepares to vote on whether to include the Covid-19 vaccine in the childhood immunization schedule, it is important that we take into account a number of critical issues:

1. There’s no scientific or medical imperative to recommend this vaccine en masse

2. There are no long term safety studies for the vaccine

3. It places an enormous burden on states to adopt it

4. It will destroy public trust, earned over the last 50 years, in the existing vaccine schedule

5. The vaccine was just approved for inclusion in the “"Vaccines for Kids" program thus ensuring accessibility for any children that want or need it

Most of you already know that children are not particularly at risk for severe illness from Covid-19, so there is very limited benefit in terms of protection.

Also, vaccine makers recently revealed that vaccines do not prevent the spread of transmission so there is also no societal benefit from vaccinating children.

Finally, these vaccines have not been studied long term and serious side effects like myocarditis have already been documented.

So there is clearly no rush for this vaccine to be incorporated into any childhood vaccine schedule.

This is clear to anybody that is paying the slightest bit of attention.

@CDCgov Covid-19 vaccines should not even be in the discussion for updated childhood immunization schedule There’s no rational scientific or medical basis There are no long term studies Wtf is this nonsense?

But the CDC will then try to convince you that it’s not a big deal because inclusion in the schedule does not mean that it is mandated…that can only occur at the state level!

In this one tweet, the CDC tries to absolve itself of any possible responsibility for the vaccine being mandated.

Thursday, CDC's independent advisory committee (ACIP) will vote on an updated childhood immunization schedule. States establish vaccine requirements for school children, not ACIP or CDC. More: bit.ly/3eH64xI.

The CDC is about to add the Covid vaccine to the childhood immunization schedule, which would make the vax mandatory for kids to attend school. https://t.co/Ga0EJZIVbI

But that’s incredibly misleading.

As we saw during the Covid-19 pandemic, CDC “guidance” was frequently used to justify mandates. Then there’s also the risk of liability if you don’t follow the CDC “guidelines”.

Jenin Younes @Leftylockdowns1

@CDCgov actually, your "Guidance" was used to justify employer mandates nationwide, which I know well because I litigated many vaccine mandate cases. Courts said that if it is CDC "Guidance," it's rational, hence employers can mandate. They'll undoubtedly say the same about schools

The CDC and states can then engage in a game of responsibility ping-pong where either sides lays the blame on the other, but the outcome is still the same: mandates.

@CDCgov

There is no doubt that some states will move quickly to mandate C-19 vaccines for all children because in many areas the pandemic has become a political issue, more than a health crisis.

It’s why the CDC plays such an important role.

The CDC has the responsibility to offer the best possible scientific and medical guidance because no state has the same staff, experts or resources to legitimately claim to know better.

But possibly the greatest damage will be caused by what this decision does to public trust about the current immunization schedule.

Today's vote on the inclusion of the UNTESTED C-19 VACCINE into the CDC's Childhood Immunization Schedule is a MILESTONE IN PUBLIC HEALTH It drives state policy If adopted, it permanently and irrevocably ERODES 50 YEARS OF EARNED PUBLIC TRUST IN TRADITIONAL CHILDHOOD VACCINES

The CDC has spent over 50 years building confidence in the traditional schedule (e.g.: measle, mumps, rubella, polio…etc). With confidence in public health already in tatters after the controversial pandemic measures, adding the C-19 vaccine to the traditional schedule would severly erode public trust in these vaccines.

Most people already know or believe that the vaccine doesn’t make sense for children, so if it is included then what does this say about the other vaccines? How can those also be trusted? It will open up a pandora’s box of vaccine skepticism.

And let’s not conflate being included in the vaccine schedule with having access to the vaccine. The C-19 vaccine was just included in the CDC’s “Vaccines for Kids” program (not to be confused with schedule) thus ensuring that it is available free of charge to any child that wants or needs it.

BREAKING: CDC votes unanimously to add COVID-19 vaccine to the 'Vaccines for Kids' program breaking911.com/breaking-cdc-v…

I’ve lost faith in the CDC and public health which is why I don’t expect them to do the right thing and will probably add it to the childhood vaccine schedule…but who knows?

Update: it passed 15-0

Fuck those corrupt assholes.
