Pfizer says it is now testing three doses of its COVID-19 vaccine in babies and preschoolers after the usual two shots didn’t appear strong enough for some of the children.

December 17, 2021 GMT

An eight-year-old child receives a second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at Northwest Community Church in Chicago, Saturday, Dec. 11, 2021. Pfizer is adding an extra dose of its COVID-19 vaccine for babies and preschoolers enrolled in a study of the shots. Pfizer and its partner BioNTech announced, Friday, Dec. 17, they were adding a third dose to the study after a preliminary analysis found 2- to 4-year-olds didn't have as strong an immune response as expected.

Pfizer announced the change after a preliminary analysis found 2- to 4-year-olds didn’t have as strong an immune response as expected to the very low-dose shots the company is testing in the youngest children. Pfizer and its partner BioNTech said if the three-dose study is successful, they plan to apply for emergency authorization sometime in the first half of 2022.

At least they will do a 3 dose study for babies. 5-100+ are flying blind with boosters every 3-6 months without long term studies of safety and efficacy.

And what exactly is the need for this ? To just have something to post on Instagram ? “I vaccinated my one year old baby” kinda crap ?

Oh my gosh, shame on these parents. It is an experiment that could result in your children never being able to conceive. Or even worse.

There will be no end of shots. Does this destroy “do no harm” forever?

andItoldyaso Evil.

If you are under 20, you are more likely to die from the flu. Do you really think this is about safety?

Nope no way no how

Sweet!!! Use the kids as shields to protect adults!!! Just what vaccines are for!!!

So you vaccinate babies and children three times who have basically zero change of become severely ill from a virus that is already losing its strength. Yeah, fantastic money making scheme. You do not have the health of people in your interest.

How about we dump these vaccines and start over again making something that is more effective.

Excellent. Children need protection against this awful disease

Just imagine having the confidence to vaccinate a baby

Dear God! No! Stop!

I pray, why haven't these pharmaceuticals prioritized vaccines for Malaria n Pneumonia which are killing millions of children in Africa... yet the fatalities for covid 19 aren't as gory as for these tropical diseases?

barnes_law Where is this being done?

TESTING ON CHILDREN!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

What a business 👏

Once it targets the children then its all over. And its headed in that direction. All people need to do to ensure that never happens is to wear masks over their nose and mouth AND vaccinate - but Forest Gump is right ... stoopid is as stoopid does & a box of chocolates won't help

This is good because Covid is especially deadly among babies, which is why so many have died…

Why is child abuse legal for drug manufacturers looking to increase profits by artificially creating an unnecessary fear narrative?

Ah, yeeessss, increase the spike proteins, more power...

Big Pharma is gonna keep “recommending” more boosters because it’s gonna keep boosting their profits.

OMG Which sane parents would subject their children to this?!

Children are more likely to be hospitalized from the vaccine than covid. This is true and verified by the cdc.

Harvesting smh wake up people please they taking u out left and right it A.I

Unfucking believable

I'm just wondering how people think children get drugs...so very clear that many have no clue. And what's sad is the proliferation of smart devices that aren't making their owners any smarter. So many w/knowledge at their fingertips and yet not even trying to access it. Damn.

barnes_law Experimenting on children 😭😭😭

😂😂😂

Criminal intent

Shoulding you be testing way cracks heads and mad ppl not getting covid19+

And we don’t know long term effects either

Remember that line in the Billy Joel song? “Children of Thalidamide…”

Any parent that enrolls their child in this testing program should be arrested and prosecuted for child endangerment..

barnes_law 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

I want to meet the parents who are offering up their babies and small children for experimental vax testing 🙄🤯

I'm just curious who are the parents that give test babies to Pfizer. Drug addicted people, homeless, people that sell babies? Real question.

Who signs their kids up for this?
