CDC’s Faustian Pact with Big Pharma
Using egregious misinformation and flagrantly biased data analysis, ACIP expected to add mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to children’s schedule of vaccines (and recommend bivalent booster for children): scientific integrity and safety be damned
CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) met today, unanimously voting to add mRNA COVID-19 vaccination to VRC program. Review of the ACIP presentation slides indicates CDC is likely to add COVID-19 vaccines to children’s schedule of recommended vaccinations. ACIP also recommended the bivalent booster for children 5–17 years old. Unabashedly using selective data analysis and biased, unsubstantiated interpretations, CDC and ACIP openly declare an agenda toward universal vaccination, scientific integrity and safety be damned. This was a foregone conclusion (i.e., highly expected and anticipated outcome). Nevertheless, it defies all rational critical thinking and medical ethics that children who are at such low risk for severe COVID-19 complications would be expected to be vaccinated against SARS-CoV2.
RISK OF COVID-19 TO CHILDREN
I have previously reviewed risk to children from severe COVID-19 in greater detail here. Briefly, three graphs summarize and underscore all there is to know about the very low risk children face with respect to severe COVID-19 complications.

CONCLUSIONS
ACIP met today, reviewing data on pediatric COVID-19 disease burden as well as mRNA COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficacy. The perfunctory discussion was embarrassingly superficial, lacking any in-depth critical analysis, let alone challenge to the data presented. Much of the data was preliminary, none of it was peer reviewed, and some was presented on faith (clinical data on bivalent boosters has yet to be published for review). Like the three monkeys (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil), Public Health Officials seem to have made a Faustian pact with Big Pharma, peddling their medical products without regard to scientific integrity and public safety. CDC has become nothing more than a degenerate, government arm for Big Pharma. There never was an emergency in pediatric population. While other countries are pulling back from previous recommendations of COVID-19 vaccination in healthy children and young adults, US unabashedly uses pseudoscience to further increase the risk of serious vaccine injuries to children.
Nothing short of legal accountability for these crimes against humanity will stop this runaway train of dogma and authoritarian control operating under the pretense of SCIENCE™.
