FDA Begins Roll-out of COVID Vaccine for Kids 6 Months to 5 Years Old

by Leave a Comment

CBS News’ “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan, who seemed a bit overexcited about getting her kids vaccinated against the Chinese Wuhan flu, frankly, sat down Sunday with former FDA commissioner and Pfizer board member, Dr. Scott Gottlieb to talk about the Biden FDA’s roll-out of the COVID vaccine for the littlest of children: ages 6 months to 5 years old.

He said, in part: (emphasis mine)

There are going to be pharmacies that are vaccinating children. CVS is going to move it into their pharmacies, but they’re only moving it into the pharmacies with advanced care providers with their MinuteClinics. You’re probably not going to see clinic stood up. Maybe around children’s hospitals, you’ll see some clinics stood up.

But most people are probably going to get vaccinated and their pediatricians’ offices. And it’s going to take a little bit more time to get the vaccine into those local settings, because it’s more difficult to vaccinate a child who is very young. You need people who are specially trained to do that.

His appearance comes on the heels of the news late last week that a panel at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gave their OK on the vaccine for little kids. The CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky signed off on the decision Saturday, according to Scripps National News, which added that the FDA had already voted its recommendation during the week.

News of Walensky signing off on it comes hours after CDC advisory panel unanimously agreed that COVID-19 vaccines should be made available to children as young as 6 months.

The CDC’s vote comes the same week the Food and Drug Administration authorized Moderna’s and Pfizer’s COVID-19 shots for infants, toddlers and preschoolers.

Scripps also reported on details of the vaccines from the two manufacturers:

Pfizer would come as a three-dose vaccine for children 6 months to 4 years old, and Moderna’s two-dose vaccine would be for children 6 months to 5 years old.

The dosage for children for both vaccines will be significantly lower than the adult version.

Did you notice, like I did, the sorta weird wording in Gottlieb’s comments above? I highlighted them, just in case. It’s evident that there’s an attempt to mold a narrative that this is different from adults and others getting the shots. Since you’ve read this far, you likely took the time (unlike most, modern news consumers who just glance at headlines and ledes) and listened to the entire clip. So, you know Gottlieb means a primary care doctor, whom a patient is already familiar with — in the case of children, that’s usually the pediatrician they’ve always had.

The medical establishment might finally be admitting something it would rather not admit–that this should have been how vaccinations were handled all along, and left as a medical decision between patient and doctor. The silver lining for American families is it looks like that’s what will happen here with the children’s vaccine.

Smoking Gun for the Uvalde Police Response to Deadly School Shooter Emerges

by Leave a Comment

While the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, TX, has become overshadowed by a wider national push for “gun control,” the response of the local police remains a top issue.

As RedState has chronicled extensively, decisions were made that not only cost lives but also made no sense whatsoever. Reports in the immediate aftermath indicated the police refused to enter the school, choosing to harass and detain distraught parents instead. In the days following the shooting, revelations that the police waited for a “tactical team” and then wouldn’t even allow that tactical team to enter until the Border Patrol agents finally disobeyed orders over an hour later painted a disturbing picture.

Even past that, we’ve since learned that the shooter walked around for a full 12 minutes before entering the school, shooting indiscriminately. Given the police department itself is less than ten minutes away, that is inexplicable. But if there is any doubt left that the Uvalde police are directly culpable for allowing so much bloodshed, a smoking gun has emerged.

To make the timeline clear here, the shooter was shooting for 12 minutes outside without any police response. He then entered an unlocked backdoor, followed in by police minutes later. The police then barricaded the shooter inside the room per their own admission. Instead of attempting entry to stop the carnage, they sat around for over an hour until a Border Patrol team went in of their own volition.

Prior to this surveillance video, the police claimed they attempted to enter the room but were forced back by gunfire. Now, we know that they never even tried to get inside, choosing to retreat like cowards, completely absconding from their duty to protect and serve.

Further, a mother who entered the school to rescue her children recently revealed that the shooting inside the classroom continued well after the police arrived (again, contradicting initial claims by police that the shooter had killed everyone within a few minutes). That means that the shooter was systematically executing children while the police just sat there. That’s so unconscionable that it makes me feel sick to my stomach just to write.

It doesn’t get any worse than this, and it’s infuriating that so many, including some GOP senators, are choosing to obsess over meaningless, ineffective gun control policies instead of talking about the biggest, most direct failure in Uvalde. Lastly, the idea that any law-abiding citizen of the United States should be disarmed in the face of this shooting is asinine. Why would any sane person want to place their safety in the hands of police who refuse to do their jobs? That’s the discussion we should actually be having right now instead of arguing over red flag laws.
