Why not shoot up the kids? Without the shot and if normally healthy they have a very, very small risk of bad things happening to them. But hey, inject them anyway. Plus the Moderna vax is "up to" 44% effective for preventing an infection for children 6 month to 2 yrs old and a whopping 38% effective for 2-5 yrs of age.
See, here's were the choice of words come in. "Up to 44%" as CNBC and Moderna state... is a spin to sound promising (not really, though, the odds are less than a coin flip). Contrast that verbiage with a headline that said "In a Best Case Controlled study a Maximum of 44%..." That doesn't sound so great now does it but it's still accurate.

"None of the children developed severe illness from Covid and the majority of breakthrough cases were mild, according to the biotech company."
I didn't read the study but I'm guessing that this includes the control group that didn't get injected. Otherwise, I'm sure, they would have highlighted and emphasized that non-vax kids were knocking on death's door without the vax.
"Moderna will ask the Food and Drug Administration to grant emergency use authorization for the vaccine for children under 6 years old as soon as possible, CEO Stephane Bancel said in a statement."
Why not? Get them all injected with this serum even though it doesn't really work. We need more data on a different sector of the population. Plus if they get emergency use authorization (this is a key distinction), that means they get to implement it now and wait for further results later. (Does this ring a bell in anyone's memory banks?)
"The highly mutated omicron variant has significantly reduced vaccine effectiveness from its high-water mark of around 94% when the shots were first authorized for adults in December 2020, causing many more breakthrough infections."
But hey, why let a good scare go to waste... there's tons of money to be made here.
Meanwhile, Pfizer is lobbying for the FDA to authorize a 4th round of shots.

"But protection after three doses is "not that good against infections" and "doesn't last very long" when faced with a variant like Omicron. It is necessary, a fourth (dose) for right now," Bourla told CBS.
Yep, you read that right and it might be worth repeating in case your head is in the sand. The makers of this miracle cure are admitting that 3 doses are not that good against infections and that it doesn't last very long. Digest that little morsel for a bit.
"We are just submitting those data to the FDA, and then we'll see what the experts also would say outside Pfizer," Bourla told CBS.
Here we go again with the "experts" B.S. Have we not had enough of this crap. Are we still going to continue or resurrect crap that has been going on for far too long?
