Another CDC Misstep

Just when I thought that the CDC had reached its nadir in terms of respect, the advisory board is acting in an amazingly incredulous fashion by adding a Covid vaccination to the long-standing and previously trustworthy list of vaccines for school children.

Before the Covid debacle, I had previously thought that the CDC, including its advisory board would have to be pretty smart individuals, but when the advisory board just unanimously voted to recommend that Covid-19 shots be added to the child immunization schedule, I was forced to change my way of thinking.

How many things are wrong with this bonehead decision? Where do I start?? 

First of all, a Covid-19 shot is not actually a vaccine. A “vaccine” by its traditional definition is something that is given to prevent a disease. For example, the polio vaccine is given to prevent polio … however the “Covid vaccine” does not prevent Covid. One might ask if a “so-called vaccine” for X, does not prevent X, why would the CDC Advisory Board recommend adding it to the list of recommended child immunizations? Dr. Marty Makary of John’s Hopkins noted that for schoolchildren, there’s no evidence to show a reduction in disease in that age range because of Covid shots.

Second: There are already at least eleven states with laws on the books which, in essence, prevent a “Covid vaccine” to be mandated for children. This will inevitably lead to lawsuits and stays in states which do not have such laws preventing vaccine mandates for children. At this point, the courts have put holds on all vaccine mandates, except those for health care workers, and there is every reason to believe that the same thing will happen for vaccine mandates for children.

Third: This latest unanimous dictum by the CDC Advisory panel will only hurt when it comes to the public following the present childhood immunization schedules. In other words, if this Covid shot recommendation is thought to be ludicrous, what’s to prevent John Q. Public from extrapolating to a conclusion that all of the other CDC mandates on vaccinations are likewise ludicrous? As Dr. Makary stated, 

“it threatens the credibility of MMR and polio and many of the other vaccines for which it’s taken 50 years to build public trust.”

Fourth: Those standard well-established vaccines have been shown to have a minimum of side-effects. The “Covid vaccine” has no such track record. Who knows what sort of bad things could come from the Covid shot as we get four, five, or ten years down the line? … The answer is, “Nobody knows!”

Finally, there is nothing in this CDC advisory that mentions prior Covid infections. Here at least one has to admit that at least the CDC is consistent in that none of their prior Covid recommendations have mentioned or even alluded to natural immunity from a prior Covid infection. Although certainly not impossible, it is highly unlikely that someone will get Covid more than once. Come on, CDC, get your act together!

While I do not have any young children, if I did, I would be totally against any recommendation that they receive any initial vaccine for Covid, or any further Covid boosters.
