Why not safe for under 12?
No one has said "it is not safe" for children under 12. I have corrected you on this issue before. It was not TESTED. But is is being TESTED for children 5 years and older. But the very reasearch that you consistently complain was not done is being done now.

In fact, some parents in the USA are getting their children vaccinated who are under 12.

Oh gosh they know they going to approve it no matter what. What the big difference? If it "safe" for everyone else, it will be safe under 12's. It's only emergency use. A setta Papi show thing.

You want an FDA approval so you can sue for damages.

But you expect that the same process that was followed for adults will be cut short for children. It is not.

More than 20,000 students in Mississippi are in quarantine from exposure to the coronavirus, accounting for about 5 percent of the state's public school pupils, according to state data.

As infection rates increase throughout the country because of the highly transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus, the state has been hit particularly hard since students returned to classes Aug. 9.

There were 20,334 students in quarantine after the first week of school, which ended Friday, according to data from the State Health Department.

During that week, 4,521 students also contracted the coronavirus, bringing the total of students who have tested positive since the beginning of August to 5,933, the health department reported.

Teachers and staff members from the 803 schools from 74 counties that reported to the state also fared poorly.

State records show that 948 teachers and staff tested positive for Covid from Aug. 9 to Friday. A total of 1,496 teachers and staff members have contracted the coronavirus since the beginning of August. And as of the end of last week, 1,463 teachers and staff members were being quarantined because of exposure to the virus.

In Mississippi, less than 36 percent of residents are fully vaccinated, according to government data from earlier in the week.

The state epidemiologist, Dr. Paul Byers, told reporters Wednesday that the number of students who are in quarantine is "dramatic."

"When you look at a number like 20,000 students that are on quarantine in any given week, that exceeds what we've experienced ... when we were at our previous peak for the impact on the schools," he said.

Because of the high quarantine numbers among students and staff members, at least 29 schools have opted to "go virtual for a short time in order to interrupt transmission," Byers said.

Coronavirus infection rates among children ages 5 to 17 have increased sharply, Byers said, and children ages 6 to 10 account for a lot of the new cases.

"This will translate to potentially more hospitalizations of children under the age of 18. And unfortunately, we may see additional deaths," he said.

The best protection against Covid-19, Byers said, is for children 12 and over to get vaccinated along with their parents.

A teenager died from complications related to Covid over the weekend, marking the fifth death of a minor killed by the coronavirus in the state, Byers said.

Who tell you this? Mad man Fuad?

Want to see an example of how fake news starts? A friend said on one of my WhatsApp groups, that his cousin took the vaccine and then later that day they had to rush up to the hospital because he was having chest pains.

Whole group is up in arms! the vaccines not safe, blah blah blah. My mom knows his cousin's mom, today I find out he had a ruptured appendix. Totally unrelated to the vaccine as he had a blockage that might have been there for weeks.

He even said he was getting pains for days prior to the vaccine.

I mentioned it to the group, and everyone was still convinced it was caused by the vaccine. :roll: :roll: :roll:

100% sure when they tell people that story, they not mentioning the appenix.

Despite the reservations by some parents about having their children vaccinated at this time, Education Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly said both vaccinated and unvaccinated students will be welcomed back into schools next month.

Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley has said that students in Forms Four, Five and Six will be allowed to resume physical classes when the new academic term 2021/2022 begins on September 6.

Asked yesterday how the Ministry of Education intends to address the issue of vaccinated students mixing with the unvaccinated, the minister said there will be no discrimination of either category.

She said, “At this time, in every office building, family, taxi in Trinidad and Tobago, the vaccinated and unvaccinated coexist. There is no requirement for separation. Schools are not expected to operate any differently.”

Gadsby-Dolly reinforced, “The Government has a policy of voluntary vaccination, with no requirement to prove vaccination status for access to public places of work, buildings or services. The Ministry of Education is guided by that.”

Meanwhile, one day after they operationalised 13 centres specifically for administering the Pfizer vaccine to people between 12 to 18, the Ministry of Health increased the number of vaccine sites to provide greater access. The latest vaccine sites to be added to the list include Centre Pointe Mall, Chaguanas and the Paddock, Queen’s Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain.

The ministry said on the first day of the drive on Thursday, 3,702 people received their first dose of the World Health Organization-approved Pfizer vaccine.

We would have assume that that's how a top pnm official's child was able to be vaccinated in June and was vaccinated again with Pfizer this week. Unless the person was underage when they got vaccinated in June, in which case plenty people should be before the courts.

So they sending unvaccinated children to kill vaccinated children. And that seem like a breeding ground for the Trinidad variant with all those unvaccinated mixing.

the idea is to get as much vaxxed as possible so that school can open and it won't create a massive spike in cases. initally we will have some unvaxxed but over time more and more will take it. it's a numbers game essentially- it its too low u will get spikes and quarantines, if its high then that is unlikely.

Pfizer is likely to get FULL APPROVAL (no longer Emergency Use only) from FDA this week so anyone hesitant about vaxxing their child should be aware of that!

U.S. FDA aims to give full approval to Pfizer vaccine on Monday -NYT
Reuters

WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is aiming to give full approval to Pfizer's (PFE.N) COVID-19 vaccine on Monday, the New York Times reported on Friday.

Regulators were aiming to complete the process by Friday, but were still working through "a substantial amount of paperwork and negotiation with the company," the Times said, citing people familiar with the planning who were not authorized to speak publicly about it.

The agency declined to comment.

It had set an unofficial deadline for approval of around Labor Day on Sept. 6, the report said.


The approval could boost the vaccination campaign by convincing more unvaccinated Americans that Pfizer's shot is safe and effective and also make local officials more comfortable in implementing vaccine mandates.

The U.S. military is expected to require that service members get vaccinated soon after Pfizer's shot is authorized and other major U.S. employers could follow suit. read more

Vaccine hesitancy has been a major hurdle to the White House's goal of getting all eligible Americans vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Only around 60% of adults aged 18 and over have been fully vaccinated even as the new Delta variant of COVID-19 has contributed to a surge in cases.

Full approval of Pfizer's shot would also make it easier for physicians to prescribe a third booster shot to people who could benefit from an additional dose.

The FDA has authorized Pfizer's shot as a booster for people with weakened immune systems, but the White House plans to offer them much more widely in the coming months. read more

The White House earlier this week said it plans to give out 100 million booster shots, many supplied by Pfizer, to at-risk Americans, including anyone whose initial inoculation is more than 8 months old, starting in September.

Some experts, including at the World Health Organization say there is not yet enough data be certain boosters are needed.


Pfizer's vaccine was authorized for emergency use in December and more than 203 million people in the United States have so far received it. None of the three authorized COVID-19 vaccines have received full FDA approval.
