Canada Authorises Use of Pfizer Covid Vaccine for Children

by Michael Curzon
5 May 2021 10:37 PM

Canada has become the first country to authorise the use of the Pfizer Covid vaccine on children aged 12 to 15. Many other countries are likely to follow suit. BBC News has the story.

[Canada’s] Health Ministry made the decision based on data from phase three clinical trials on children that age. 

“The department determined that this vaccine is safe and effective when used in this younger age group,” an adviser at the Ministry said. Pfizer says its jab works well in the age group.

Canada has already authorised the use of the Pfizer vaccine in people over 16. 

The state of Alberta, which has the highest rate of the virus in the country, said it would offer vaccines to those over 12 from Monday.

Canada has recorded more than 1.2 million coronavirus cases and roughly 20% of those have been in people under the age of 19. 

The country’s vaccine rollout has been relatively slow, caused by delivery delays. About 34% of people in the country have received at least one dose of the vaccine while the figure in the US stands at 44%, according to Our World in Data…

As part of the vaccine’s approval, Pfizer will have to continue providing information to Canada’s Health Ministry on the safety, efficacy and quality of the vaccine in those aged 12 to 15. 

In March, Pfizer said initial results from trials of its vaccine in this age group showed 100% efficacy and a strong immune response.

U.S. regulators are expected to authorise the use of the Pfizer vaccine in the same age group in the coming days, and in the U.K. the NHS is preparing to vaccinate schoolchildren from September, shortly before those aged over 50 will be offered a third Covid vaccine dose.

The BBC News report is worth reading in full.

There is nothing “piddly “ about experimenting on immature immune systems by invoking an unknown antibody response for a disease that will not harm them. I do not recognise your generalisation of Canada as having ubiquitous common sense. If you can demonstrate any other medicine or vaccine which has ever been licensed for children in a similar manner you would have some credence. This is a gross moral and ethically incorrect experiment on the young to make their elders feel better .

Germany has just provided funding of 3.8 billion € for the purchase of booster and variant Covid gene therapies for 2022 and 2023. There is no plan or chance that the plandemic ends, without us forcing them out. Extrapolation of jab deaths sofar x doses purchased now suggests 11.000 ‘vaccine’ deaths in Germany alone. Before the medium and long term side effects related ones, or the vascular ones due to the spike protein factories in the jabbed. DEUTSCHES ÄRZTEBLATT: Gesundheitsministerium bekommt weitere 3,8 Milliarden für Beschaffung von Coronaimpfstoff – Auszug: „Es geht dabei um Impfstoff für die Jahre 2022 und 2023, also vor allem für Auffrischungsimpfungen und Impfungen gegen mutierte Coronaviren. Das geht aus einem Schreiben des Finanzministeriums an den Haushaltsausschuss des Bundestags hervor. (…) Demnach zeichnen sich Vertragsabschlüsse der Europäischen Kommission ab, ‘um eine ausreichende Versorgung mit adäquaten Impfstoffen gegen COVID-19 auch für die kommenden Jahre sicherzustellen‘. (…) Außerdem stehe ein Vertrag kurz vor dem Abschluss, bei dem es auch um angepasste Impfstoffe für Kinder gehe. Deutschland müsse jetzt Zahlungsverpflichtungen eingehen, damit entsprechend viel Impfstoff bestellt werde.“ (Anmerkung Paul Schreyer: Damit ist die Katze ist aus dem Sack: Die Impfungen sollen fortan regelmäßig erfolgen. „Neue Normalität“ für immer –… Read more »

Great, I’ve got a little pension, locked up in canada worth £7 a day, which covers my bar tab, but I can’t get at it since Canada is closed. I can’t open a bank account, nobody answers the phones, I can’t get transfer funds. so my money stays locked up, I’m pissed off at Canada. They need to get a grip on this thing there, like we have, I want my 2 pints a day!!!
I could fly to Canada to sort it out in a year or two, meanwhile, I’m pissed off at Canada.

Healthy children in Canada probably have a 1-in-2-million probability of dying from COVID … and still parents will line up to make sure their kids are “protected” from this terrifying health risk.

Vaccines for kids, booster jabs without any evidence that they achieve anything, cheap treatments such as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine blocked. Yes Covid is a serious disease for certain groups, but it’s looking more and more like big pharma carries a lot of the blame for blowing the whole thing out of proportion, maybe more blame than authoritarian/incompetent governments or people pushing the great reset.

In the UK in 2020, a little more than 1 in 700,000 children in this age group died of covid-19. These had pre-existing conditions. For those without pre-existing conditions, it was less than 1 in 3,000,000.
The current UK death rate for the jab is about 1 in 42,000. This jab is therefore between 17 and 70 times as risky as that which it protects from! Furthermore, their immune system will be compromised and less able to deal with new pathogens in the future.
Jabbing these kids is criminally insane!

Did you know almost 4,000 children have been vaccinated for COVID-19 in the States?
And that:

9 died within 28 days (0.2%)?
7 almost died?
3 were permanently disabled?
71 had to see a doctor or were admitted to hospital or had their stay prolonged?

9 out of 4000? Seriously? So more than 2 per 1000 died? So in a big school, expect 2 kids to die and one be permanently disabled, and in a smaller school of a few hundred expect one to die?

Add in the 3 disabled and 7 nearly died, that’s 5 per big school. Do you feel lucky, punk?

Appalling.

Nice to see the comments are considerably more “sceptical” than the considerably “unsceptical” author on the “so-called sceptical” website.

If there’s one crime out of all of this nonsense that’s worth getting angry about, it’s medical experimentation on children who bear no risk and do not have the capacity to consent for themselves.

Sadly scientists have failed to recognise that in their rush to publish regardless of the quality of their data they are harming society. When innocent children are having their future lives potentially harmed by a vaccine for a disease which will not harm them ethics and morality has been dismissed. Shame on all those who feel that children should be used as a comfort blanket for their elders.

Scientists might have rushed to publish but the blame lies squarely with governments the world over who are coercing their populations to have the current jabs on offer and future “top-ups” to deal with scariants or whatever public health emergency is drummed up. The blame lies with the governments. They are the pushers.

Sorry, Curzon is incorrigible. My only explanation is that TY wants a contrarian voice on the page to show that there is “balance” in the reporting. Note: contrarian here is used to mean contrary to the principles of the site. The byline of Lockdown Sceptics is: Stay Sceptical. Control the Hysteria. Save Lives. Curzon is not sceptical (of vaccines). The articles he promotes elevate hysteria and could cost lives–it is unconscionable to inject children with an experimental substance for a disease that does not affect them. This is so outrageous that even MSM should be asking this question of why children?. So I guess Curzon is just going to keep doing Curzon when it comes to vaccines…..

Strong immune response – meaning the poor children experienced adverse effects from a totally unnecessary assault on their medical freedom by use of questionable injections?

What is the world coming to, abusing children like this? To abuse those children in order to ‘protect the old and / or vulnerable’ and in doing so, may irreparably affect their own health and life. Unforgivable.

This must be about the vaccine passport. There’s no other reason for it. They need everyone to be vaccinated so that everyone has a ‘passport’. Children and young people are key to this ambition since they will be the ones who will be mostly affected by future passport control.

Did I really write that? How things have changed in the last 12 months.

I think it’s high time we stopped calling this injection a vaccine. If you’ve not watched the video of five doctors discussing this thing, you can see it here:

Set aside an hour and twenty minutes (though jump past the first 5 minutes of the annoying woman at the start who keeps letting her phone ring while talking).

And the UK column transcript of the interview with the NHS whistle blower who was working on the jab rollout – that person kept calling it a jab for the very precise reason that the injection did not meet the criteria to be called a vaccine. That same person said it was genocide.

… and the answers to all the Mayo crap about absolute v. relative RR (above) is also answered – with the important point that the risk increase from the vaccine can also be calculated – with a very sobering set of figures for vaccine worshippers – whichever way you look at it. The relative risk of blood clotting symptoms of no-vaccine versus vaccine are pretty shocking in relative terms – if that’s your chosen measure.

“Canada has recorded more than 1.2 million coronavirus cases and roughly 20% of those have been in people under the age of 19”
The underlying message is that kids are at threat – get them vaccinated! But they could have tested in any winter season and got the same (or better or worse) results.
The only reason for vaccinating kids (or anyone) is if there’s a threat of serious illness or death. There is not.The policy continues to be abhorrent and parents should be defending their kids by NOT getting the vaccine.
