Dr. Ben Carson, the retired pediatric neurosurgeon, who served as Housing and Urban Development Secretary under former President Donald Trump, blasted the “giant experiment” of vaccinating children against COVID-19 during Sunday’s broadcast of Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

When asked by host Maria Bartiromo whether he believes young children should receive the COVID-19 vaccine, Carson fired back, “Absolutely not.”

Carson expounded, “The fact of the matter is, the mortality rate for children from COVID-19 is 0.025, which is very similar to the rate for seasonal flu,” he insisted. “And we haven’t been for years and years going through all these things for seasonal flu.”

He added that the long-term implications of the vaccines for children are currently unknown, which ought to send up red flags for parents.

“Plus, we don’t know what the long-term impact of these vaccines is, so this is really sort of a giant experiment,” Carson explained. “Do we want to put our children at risk, when we know that the risk of the disease to them is relatively small, but we don’t know what the future risks are? Why would we do a thing like that? It makes no sense whatsoever.”

The FDA on 10/29  announced its emergency use authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech in children ages 5 to 11 years old and in a statement said, “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet to discuss further clinical recommendations,”

In the ongoing study, a total of 1,444 vaccine recipients were followed for safety for at least 2 months after the second dose.” (The key points here are underlined by me … namely “ongoing” and “two months”.) At this point there is no long term follow up.

Similarly, Dr. Eric Rubin, a voting member of a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory committee, admitted last week that the vaccine’s ultimate safety profile won’t be known fully until it begins being administered to children. “We’re never gonna learn about how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it,” said Rubin. “That’s just the way it goes.”

Not exactly a stunning recommendation,and others, respected in their field, have a similar take.

From Townhall:

Famed Yale epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch, who up until about 18 months ago was one of the most respected scientists in the world, before he came out as a covid realist. Here’s what the good doctor said in a recent interview when asked about the jabs for children:

“If the child has chronic conditions that make their risk appreciable, then there’s reason they should be considered for vaccination. Other than that, if it were my child, I would homeschool them….On the average, the benefit is higher for homeschooling than it is for vaccination and being in school.”

As a nation we are already feeling the easily foreseen ill effects of vaccine mandates. Will the next shoe to drop be vaccine mandates for children in elementary school? Perhaps the liberal vaccine mandaters should pay attention to what Bill Maher said concerning the Virginia election … “parents also vote!”
