Latest Covid Vaccines For Children
COVID
There Are No Licensed COVID Vaccines for Kids Under 12 — But CDC Wants Babies to Get 3 Pfizer Shots by Age 9 Months
According to the latest CDC guidance, 9-month-old babies must receive multiple doses of an unlicensed mRNA COVID-19 vaccine to be considered “up to date” with their COVID-19 vaccination.
September 3, 2024
Nine-month-old babies must receive multiple doses of an unlicensed mRNA COVID-19 vaccine to be considered “up to date” with their COVID-19 vaccination, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC’s updated guidance, issued Aug. 30, states that children — as young as 6 months old — should get either two doses of the 2024-2025 Moderna vaccine or three doses of the 2024-2025 Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
If getting the new Pfizer shot, the baby is supposed to receive the first dose at 6 months, the second dose three weeks later and the third dose at least eight weeks after the second dose — meaning, that by 9 months old, babies are supposed to have received three Pfizer shots.
If getting the latest Moderna shot, the CDC recommends babies get the first dose at age 6 months and the second dose a month later.
The latest Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 shots for children under 12 are unlicensed in the U.S. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted only emergency use authorization (EUA) for the vaccines.
Children’s Health Defense (CHD) CEO Mary Holland told The Defender, “The earlier COVID shots have been proven unsafe and ineffective. Now we’re asked to believe that newer versions are miraculously safe and effective?”
“This is an insult to people’s intelligence,” she said, “I pray that parents will have the good sense to say no to these dangerous and unnecessary shots for babies.”
As of July 28, 37,814 deaths following COVID-19 vaccination had been reported to VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, run by the FDA and CDC.
Of those, 187 reports were for children and teens under 18. Nearly 13,000 reports listed the age as “unknown.”
VAERS analyst and expert Albert Benavides recently told The Defender he believes VAERS is “throttling” and underreporting deaths of all ages following COVID-19 vaccination.
Meanwhile, the CDC continues to tell the public that COVID-19 vaccines are “safe and effective.”
CDC ‘absolutely misleading’ public on safety of EUA vaccines
Holland said the CDC is “absolutely misleading” the public by asserting that COVID-19 EUA vaccines are safe and effective because EUA vaccines are not held to the same safety or efficacy standards as licensed vaccines.
“By law,” she explained, “EUA products ‘may be effective,’ and they have not undergone the safety testing required to permit licensing.”
“This is one more horrific example of the CDC putting profits before people and acting as an unethical arm of Big Pharma’s marketing operation,” Holland added.
CHD Chief Scientific Officer Brian Hooker agreed. “It is criminal that these untested vaccines are being recommended to infants and children, especially given the fraudulent tactics to market them to an unsuspecting public,” Hooker told The Defender.
There’s no licensed COVID vaccine for kids under 12
There are still no licensed COVID-19 vaccines available for children under 12, Hooker said — so all COVID-19 vaccines given to young kids are EUA products.
The FDA’s website on EUA for medical products states that EUA vaccines only have to meet the standard of “may be effective” as long as if, “based on the totality of the scientific evidence, it is reasonable to believe that the product may be effective for the specified use.”
“The ‘may be effective’ standard for EUAs provides for a lower level of evidence than the ‘effectiveness’ standard that FDA uses for product approvals,” the website states.
Before a vaccine can be fully licensed, the vaccine maker typically is required to conduct numerous clinical trials to demonstrate that the product is safe. However, the safety requirements for EUA are more flexible.
According to the FDA:
“The amount and type(s) of safety information that FDA recommends be submitted as part of a request for an EUA will differ depending upon a number of factors, including whether the product is approved for another indication and, in the case of an unapproved product, the product’s stage of development.”
Despite this, the first statement on the CDC’s “6 Things to Know about COVID-19 Vaccination for Children” says, “COVID-19 vaccination for children is safe.”
Risks outweigh benefits for kids
Hooker said the CDC’s actions are especially problematic as, historically, the meaning of “safe” has been interpreted by regulatory authorities as meaning that the benefits of a drug outweigh its risks.
“With the risk to children of dying from a COVID-19 infection being statistically zero, it is unclear if there is any benefit,” he said.
Meanwhile, the CDC still claims that “while adverse reactions are rare, the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the known risks of COVID-19 and possible severe complications.”
Pfizer fact sheet more forthcoming about risks
For licensed vaccines, the CDC typically provides an official vaccine information statement (VIS) that describes the vaccine’s risks and potential benefits.
According to the CDC website, “Federal law requires that healthcare staff provide a VIS to a patient, parent, or legal representative before each dose of certain vaccines.”
However, for EUA COVID-19 vaccines, the CDC directs people to “fact sheets” — produced by the vaccine manufacturer, not the CDC, and authorized by the FDA — which detail the product’s risks and benefits.
There is no federal law requiring healthcare providers to share these fact sheets with patients, or parents of minors, before a COVID-19 vaccination.
“Pfizer’s own ‘fact sheet’ for its latest COVID-19 vaccine appears to give a more accurate picture [of the vaccine’s risks] than the CDC’s own websites,” Hooker said. “Shouldn’t the CDC be more a watchdog than Pfizer?”
For example, Pfizer’s fact sheet states, “A product authorized for emergency use has not undergone the same type of review by FDA as an FDA-approved product.”
The Pfizer fact sheet also acknowledges that its vaccine “may not protect everyone” and that reported side effects associated with the Pfizer vaccines include myocarditis and pericarditis.
Hooker pointed out that research has shown that vaccine-induced myocarditis, inflammation of the heart, and pericarditis, inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart, can be fatal.
He urged parents to “read between the lines” when assessing the CDC’s COVID-19 vaccination recommendation for babies and children.
“Most of all,” he added, “use common sense to decide if the CDC’s and the FDA’s logic is sound.”

Obedience In Thought And Word!
Obedience In Thought And Word!
2 Corinthians 10:3-6
"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war
according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but
Mighty in GOD for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every
high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of GOD, bringing every
thought into captivity to the obedience of CHRIST, and being ready to punish
all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled."
"If you have been bringing every thought into captivity
to the obedience of CHRIST, it will be one of the greatest assets to Faith when
the time of trial comes, because your Faith and The SPIRIT of GOD will work
together."

A Word For America From JESUS - Amos 4
A Word For America From JESUS Christ!
Amos 4 Interpreted
Hear this Word you bureaucrats from Washington, who are on
Capital Hill, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to Congress: “Biring,
so we may drink.”
My LORD JESUS has sworn by His Holiness: “Behold, days are
coming upon you when I Will drag you away by hook and the last of you by crook.
You will go out through breaches – each woman straight ahead,
and you will be cast to the trash pile.” It is a declaration of JESUS Christ!
“Come to The New York and transgress, in D.C. multiply
transgression. Every morning bring your sacrifices and your tithes every three
days.
Offer up immorality as a thank offering, call out about
freewill offerings – boast about it! For so you love to do America.” It is the
declaration of my LORD JESUS Christ.
“So also, I Myself have given you lack of food in all your
cities and lack of nourishment in all your places – Yet You Have Not Returned To
Me,” declares JESUS Christ.
“Also I Myself have withheld from you the rain – when three
months remain to the harvest, I caused it to rain on one city, while on another
city I sent no rain; one piece of ground would get rain, while the portion not
rained on would wither.
So two or three cities go staggering to one city to drink
water but would not be satisfied – Yet You Have Not Returned To Me,” declares
JESUS Christ.
“I struck you with blight and mildew. Your many gardens and
vineyards, your fig trees and olive trees the locust has devoured – Yet You Have
Not Returned To Me,” declares JESUS Christ.
I sent you a plague in the manner of Egypt. I slew your young
men by war, with your armor in captivity. I made the stench of your policies
rise up even to your own nostrils – Yet You Have Not Returned To Me,” declares
JESUS Christ.
I overthrew some of you as GOD overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
You became like a firebrand snatched from a blaze - Yet You Have Not Returned To
Me,” declares JESUS Christ.
“Therefore here is what I Will do to you, America. Because I
Will do this to you, prepare to meet your GOD, America!”
For behold! He Who forms mountains, Who creates the wind, Who
declares His thoughts to mankind, Who makes dawn out of darkness, Who walks
above the heights of the earth – His Name is JESUS LORD of Hosts!

This is a KFF Health News story.
The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration has approved an updated COVID-19 shot for everyone
6 months old and up, which renews a now-annual quandary for Americans: Get the
shot now, with the latest COVID outbreak sweeping the country, or hold it in
reserve for the winter wave?
The new
vaccine should provide some protection to everyone. But many healthy people who
have already been vaccinated or have immunity because they've been exposed to
COVID enough times may want to wait a few months.
COVID has
become commonplace. For some, it's a minor illness with few symptoms. Others
are laid up with fever, cough, and fatigue for days or weeks. A much smaller
group -- mostly older or chronically ill people -- suffer hospitalization or
death.
It's
important for those in high-risk groups to get vaccinated, but vaccine
protection wanes after a few months. Those who run to get the new vaccine may
be more likely to fall ill this winter when the next wave hits, said William
Schaffner, an infectious disease professor at Vanderbilt University School of
Medicine and a spokesperson for the National Foundation for Infectious
Diseases.
On the other
hand, by late fall the major variants may have changed, rendering the vaccine
less effective, said Peter Marks, the FDA's top vaccine official, at a briefing
Aug. 23. He urged everyone eligible to get immunized, noting that the risk of
long covid is greater in the un- and undervaccinated.
Of course,
if last year's COVID vaccine rollout is any guide, few Americans will heed his
advice, even though this summer's surge has been unusually intense, with levels
of the COVID virus in wastewater suggesting infections are as widespread as
they were in the winter.
The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention now looks to wastewater as fewer people are
reporting test results to health authorities. The wastewater data shows the
epidemic is worst in Western and Southern states. In New York, for example,
levels are considered "high" compared with "very high" in
Georgia.
Hospitalizations
and deaths due to COVID have trended up, too. But unlike infections, these
rates are nowhere near those seen in winter surges, or in summers past. More
than 2,000 people died of COVID in July -- a high number but a small fraction
of the at least 25,700 COVID deaths in July 2020.
Partial
immunity built up through vaccines and prior infections deserves credit for
this relief. A new study suggests that current variants may be less virulent --
in the study, one of the recent variants did not kill mice exposed to it, unlike most earlier
COVID variants.
Public
health officials note that even with more cases this summer, people seem to be
managing their sickness at home. "We did see a little rise in the number
of cases, but it didn't have a significant impact in terms of hospitalizations
and emergency room visits," said Manisha Juthani, public health
commissioner of Connecticut, at a news briefing Aug. 21.
Unlike
influenza or traditional cold viruses, CIVUD seems to thrive outside the cold
months, when germy schoolkids, dry air, and indoor activities are thought to
enable the spread of air- and saliva-borne viruses. No one is exactly sure why.
"COVID
is still very transmissible, very new, and people congregate inside in
air-conditioned rooms during the summer," said John Moore, a virologist
and professor at Cornell University's Weill Cornell Medicine College.
Or
"maybe COVID is more tolerant of humidity or other environmental
conditions in the summer," said Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at Johns
Hopkins University.
Because
viruses evolve as they infect people, the CDC has recommended updated COVID
vaccines each year. Last fall's booster was designed to target the omicron
variant circulating in 2023. This year, mRNA vaccines made by Moderna and
Pfizer and the protein-based vaccine from Novavax -- which has yet to be
approved by the FDA -- target a more recent omicron variant, JN.1.
The FDA
determined that the mRNA vaccines strongly protected people from severe disease
and death -- and would do so even though earlier variants of JN.1 are now being
overtaken by others.
Public
interest in COVID vaccines has waned, with only one in five adults getting
vaccinated since last September, compared with about 80% who got the first
dose. New Yorkers have been slightly above the national vaccination rate, while
in Georgia only about 17% got the latest shot.
Vaccine
uptake is lower in states where the majority voted for Donald Trump in 2020 and
among those who have less money and education, less health care access, or less
time off from work. These groups are also more likely to be hospitalized or die of the disease,
according to a 2023 study in The Lancet.
While the
newly formulated vaccines are better targeted at the circulating COVID
variants, uninsured and underinsured Americans may have to rush if they hope to
get one for free. A CDC program that provided boosters to 1.5 million people
over the last year ran out of money and is ending Aug. 31.
The agency
drummed up $62 million in unspent funds to pay state and local health
departments to provide the new shots to those not covered by insurance. But
"that may not go very far" if the vaccine costs the agency around $86
a dose, as it did last year, said Kelly Moore, CEO of Immunize.org, which
advocates for vaccination.
People who
pay out-of-pocket at pharmacies face higher prices: CVS plans to sell the
updated vaccine for $201.99, said Amy Thibault, a spokesperson for the company.
"Price
can be a barrier, access can be a barrier" to vaccination, said David
Scales, an assistant professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Without an
access program that provides vaccines to uninsured adults, "we'll see
disparities in health outcomes and disproportionate outbreaks in the working
poor, who can ill afford to take off work," Kelly Moore said.
New York
state has about $1 million to fill the gaps when the CDC's program ends, said
Danielle De Souza, a spokesperson for the New York State Department of Health.
That will buy around 12,500 doses for uninsured and underinsured adults, she
said. There are roughly one million uninsured people in the state.
CDC and FDA
experts last year decided to promote annual fall vaccination against COVID and
influenza along with a one-time respiratory syncytial virus shot for some
groups.
It would be
impractical for the vaccine-makers to change the COVID vaccine's recipe twice
every year, and offering the three vaccines during one or two health care
visits appears to be the best way to increase uptake of all of them, said
Schaffner, who consults for the CDC's policy-setting Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices.
At its next
meeting, in October, the committee is likely to urge vulnerable people to get a
second dose of the same COVID vaccine in the spring, for protection against the
next summer wave, he said.
If you're in
a vulnerable population and waiting to get vaccinated until closer to the
holiday season, Schaffner said, it makes sense to wear a mask and avoid big
crowds, and to get a test if you think you have COVID. If positive, people in
these groups should seek medical attention since the antiviral pill Paxlovid
might ameliorate their symptoms and keep them out of the hospital.
As for
conscientious others who feel they may be sick and don't want to spread the
COVID virus, the best advice is to get a single test and, if positive, try to
isolate for a few days and then wear a mask for several days while avoiding
crowded rooms. Repeat testing after a positive result is pointless, since viral
particles in the nose may remain for days without signifying a risk of
infecting others, Schaffner said.
The Health
and Human Services Department is making four free COVID tests available to
anyone who requests them starting in late September through covidtest.gov, said
Dawn O'Connell, assistant secretary for preparedness and response, at the Aug.
23 briefing.
The
government is focusing its fall vaccine advocacy campaign, which it's calling
"Risk less, live more," on older people and nursing home residents,
said HHS spokesperson Jeff Nesbit.
Not everyone
may really need a fall COVID booster, but "it's not wrong to give people
options," John Moore said. "The 20-year-old athlete is less at risk
than the 70-year-old overweight dude. It's as simple as that."

Hebrews Chapter 6
Chapter 6
:1
Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of CHRIST, let
us go on to perfection (maturity), not laying again the foundation of
repentance from dead works (1 Corinthians 3:10-15, Philippians 3:4-9, 1 Thessalonians
4:1-7) and of Faith toward GOD (Hebrews 11:1-6),
:2 of the
doctrine of baptisms (Mark 1:4-10,16:15-16, John 4:1-2, Acts 19:1-6), of laying
on of hands (Luke 5:12-14, Mark 16:18, Acts 8:14-17, James 5:13-15), of
resurrection of the dead (Matthew 28:1-7, Luke 20:37-38, John 11:1-45,
Colossians 1:15, 18, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18, Revelation 20:11-15), and of
eternal judgment (Matthew 25:40-41, 45-46, Mark 9:43-48, Revelation 20:11-15,
21:7-8).
:3 And this
we will do if GOD permits (2 Timothy 2:15, 3:16-17, James 4:13-14).
:4-6 For it
is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and having tasted the
Heavenly Gift (John 4:10, Romans 6:23, Galatians 2:8-10), and have become
partakers of the Holy SPIRIT (John 16:5-15, Acts 2:1-4, Galatians 3:1-5,
Hebrews 10:24-31), and have tasted The Good Word of GOD (John 1:1-3, Matthew
4:3-4, Deuteronomy 8:2-3) and The powers of the Age to come (Matthew 12:31-32,
Mark 10:28-30, Luke 20:34-36, Ephesians 1:16-23, 1 Corinthians 10:1-12,
Revelation 20:1-22:6 is the Age to come), if they fall away (have fallen away),
to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves The
Son of GOD and put Him to an open shame (Hebrews 10:26-31, Jude :12-23).
:7-8 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes
upon it (Psalm 65:9-10), and bears herbs that are useful for those by whom it
is cultivated (Genesis 1:10-12), receives Blessing from GOD; but if it bears
thorns and briers, it is rejected and near being cursed (Genesis 3:17-19),
whose end is to be burned (2 Peter 3:7-11).
:9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning
you (John 10:10), yes, things that accompany salvation (John 14:1-4), though we
speak in this manner.
:10 For GOD is not unjust to forget your Work (1 Corinthians
3:9-15) and labor of Love (1 Thessalonians 1:2-4, 1 John 4:7-11) which you have
shown toward His Name, in that you Ministered to The Saints, and do Minister
(Matthew 25:31-46).
:11-12 And we desire that each one of you show the same
diligence to the full assurance of Hope until the end (Colossians 2:1-3), that
you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through Faith and Patience
inherit the Promises (Hebrews 10:35-39).
:13-14 For when GOD made a Promise to Abraham, because He
could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, “Surely Blessing I
will Bless you, and multiplying I Will Multiply you (Genesis 22:15-17).”
:15 And so after he had patiently endured, he (Abraham)
obtained the Promise (Genesis 17:16-19, 21:1-7).
;16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for
confirmation is for them the end of all dispute (Exodus 22:10-11).
:17-18 Thus GOD, determining to show more abundantly to The
Heirs of Promise (Romans 8:16-17) The Immutability of His Counsel
(unchangeableness of His Purpose), confirmed (guaranteed) it by an Oath, that
by two immutable (unchangeable) things, in which it is impossible for GOD to
lie (Numbers 23:19, Titus 1:1-3), we might have strong consolation, who have
fled for refuge (Psalm 91:1-2) to lay hold of the Hope set before us
(Colossians 1:3-6).
:19-20 This Hope (Psalm 71:4-6, Romans 5:1-5) we have as an
Anchor of the soul, both Sure (2 Peter 1:5-11) and Steadfast (1 Corinthians
15:57-58), and which enters the Presence behind the veil (Mark 15:37-38), where
the forerunner has entered for us, even JESUS (Hebrews 4:14-16), having become
High Priest according to The Order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:5-11).
