Vaccine maker Pfizer says trials of its vaccine in children ages 2 to 5 show it did not provide the expected immunity in kids this age and it is adding a third dose to the regimen.

The company decided to add the third dose for all children and babies ages 6 months to 5 years after its independent outside advisers took a look at the data so far.It showed that two child-sized doses of the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine was not producing the expected immunity in the 2- to 5-year-olds, although it was doing so for the babies up to age 2.So the company said it would"amend" the trial to add a third dose.

"The decision to evaluate a third dose of 3 micrograms for children 6 months to under 5 years of age reflects the companies' commitment to carefully select the right dose to maximize the risk-benefit profile," it added."If the three-dose study is successful, Pfizer and BioNTech expect to submit data to regulators to support an Emergency Use Authorization for children 6 months to under 5 years of age in the first half of 2022.

As always cnn miss information and fake news

Let those PROFIT$ KEEP ROLLING IN!

More revenue...ya baby!

Suddenly science don't believe in natural immunity ?. Hmmm

Liar's you earn money by laying and buying illusion

My 8 year old daughter said to Pfizer “Go suck a duck I’m not taking a third shot”. Get the dose correct do a little extra research before saying that the vaccine is ready.

When they start being held responsible for any injuries THEN people may consider taking the human experiment

Great. Now let's investigate further how many politicians have a vested interest in all of this$$$$$$$$

Smh 🤦🏾‍♀️

Because every kid wants more shots and every parent has the time/money/means to take them three times. This is getting stupid.

If we did nothing an the vulnerable died the immune would be left...not a dollar spent, not a business lost, not a dollar wasted

This is ridiculous and all for financial gain.

I’m developing a shot that will help the sheep see the wolves.

If 2 shots did not help, give them a third? I bet that will help the bottom line!

Killing your kids with kindness

YES!! INJECT YOUR CHILD WITH THREE DOSES IF AN EXPERIMENTAL SHOT THAT DOESN’T WORK

Mo money Mo money Mo money Mo!

Haha what a joke!!! And i suppose people will just accept this and do the three shots I also suppose Pfizer won’t offer the third shot for free Governments are just shovelling cash into Pfizers pockets!! How corrupt :( Pfizer Covid_19 COVID19 Omicron BoosterJab boosted

Why we are seeing this paid propaganda message over and over again?

Money printing.

Haha of course they need a 3rd jab. Pfizer isn't going to say 2 is enough as they need the $$$$

Foh

How much money are they making out of this are they the new drug dealer's? We need it they got it 🤔🤔

This is madness!

Just what I thought!

Fantastic scoundrels

Here we go

It did not provide shit immunity in adults either. We on the third dose and counting.

Experimenting with drugs on small children. Have they gone nuts?

the arrogance of tweets by people with next to no medical or biochemical knowledge is a demonstration if the saying 'those with the brain of a pea have the mouth of a watermelon'

Lol

Wtf!

Why not just improve the vaccine? Surely someone out there is making a better vaccine.

More money for Pfizer we were sold a vaccine to protect us from covid in the beginning then after a few people came down with it after the shot. Then they say oh you might get it but it will be mild. Check and see how many congressmen have stock!

I dont understand all the stupid parents lining up for these trials, they've been saying from the beginning that the virus is extremely mild in children so there is absolutely no reason to subject them to additional risks, no matter how nominal, by jabbing them with an experiment

Money grab

The us government has went after pharmaceutical company's a little bit but never went out after china for covid 19 no restrictions no sanctions no war no penalty financially ? Why the cold war of biological and economical war but no retaliation to the country that caused it.

The vaccine doesn’t work. It won’t prevent you from catching Covid, spreading Covid or dying from Covid. The dangerous side effects of the vax range from myocarditis to Bell’s Palsy. Fight Covid fascism, do not comply.

$$$$$$$$$$ decisions

I hate pfizer!

Keep injecting and let’s see how it plays out!! NoAccountability

I got already 5 shots,even on my ass,which makes me high,give me more pls!

Merrily making more money eh?

God! Just clone us with this virus & let's get it over with once for all.

No.

That because they want $$$$$$$$$$$$

What’s is the survival rate in under 5s? 99.9999999%? Almost feel this isn’t necessary…

Sickening

Nice of Pfizer to be offering these to the government free of charge

🤣 if you are still taking this as real, “the science” we are still waiting for you to wake up. We just need the majority of us out here that are “aware” to be coherent. Pumping your kid full of, who even really knows, that’s major hard pass this is vey sickening.

Another screw up

I thought I've lost it all with the little cash of $1,000 invest with Hendricksnino77 turn that into $20,577 in just 7 days you may not know him but he really save my life Hendricksnino77

OMG…

3rd😳😳😳

⚠️ poor kids

No one reads the articles and makes dumb statements based on headlines. It’s the biggest issue we have in this country.

Ugh

The only problem I have with these vaccines is that they are not liable legally for any long-term health effects. If they are so safe and effective why are they protected from any financial responsibility? Something just doesn’t sound right!

of course
