    The statement is different, but the data proves it correct. So what?

    Or is Medscape now a misinformation outlet and Russian propagandist?

    Vaccine Protection for Young People Held Up During Omicron Wave
    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...ept-protecting-kids-teens-after-omicron-surge
    • Cases, hospitalizations, deaths all lower in those with shots
    • Effectiveness fell after omicron emerged, but remained strong
    Covid-19 vaccines protected children and adolescents from severe disease even after the immune-evasive omicron variant emerged, according to findings from U.S. government reports.

    After omicron became dominant in the U.S. late last year, protection against infection and urgent care visits declined for 5- to 17-year-olds who’d received primary inoculations, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data released Tuesday. However, vaccinated children and teens were still less likely to get infected than their unvaccinated peers, the agency said in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

    The findings may add confidence in moves to relax social Covid measures as infections fall across the U.S. The CDC released recommendations last week saying that schools in areas of low and moderate risk can drop indoor mask mandates, the first update to its guidance on the topic since July.

    Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE’s vaccine is the only shot that has been authorized for use in children ages 5 to 17 in the U.S. The CDC looked at vaccine protection against infection, urgent care visits, hospitalization, and death among vaccinated children ages 5 through 11 and adolescents ages 12 through 17 before and during the omicron surge.

    In one study that looked at more than 39,000 Covid-related emergency department and urgent care encounters across multiple states, vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization was as high as 94% in teens ages 12 through 17 during last summer’s delta wave. After omicron became the dominant U.S. strain, efficacy in children ages 5 through 11 was estimated at 74%, based primarily on cases during the omicron wave.

    Researchers also noted that 5 months after a second shot, effectiveness was significantly lower, dropping as low as 38%. However, among 16- to 17-year-olds, a third dose restored effectiveness to 86%.

    Separate Analysis
    After the recommended two doses, efficacy for children ages 5 to 11 was 46% -- significantly lower than for teens. Researchers attributed the difference to the dominance of the highly transmissible omicron variant during data collection.

    In a separate analysis of surveillance data from 29 jurisdictions posted on CDC’s Covid Data Tracker, unvaccinated children and adolescents ages 5 through 17 were more likely to die as a result of Covid than those who where vaccinated. From April to the beginning of January, there were nine deaths among those who were immunized in the age group, compared to 121 deaths among those without shots.

    Another study found that 91% of side effects from booster shots in children ages 12 to 17 were not serious. One government safety monitoring system found 64 reports of myocarditis among adolescents who had received booster doses. The rare form of heart inflammation has been associated with mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, with 32 cases confirmed at the time the report was published.

    While kids generally don’t get as sick as adults from Covid, clearing a vaccine for elementary school-age children marked a major milestone in the pandemic. It provided peace of mind for many concerned parents, allowing kids to resume activities that had been on hold since the virus first began spreading in the U.S.

    Still, many parents have been slow to get shots for their kids since the vaccine was recommended in November. Covid vaccinations among kids ages 5 to 11 years have fallen to their lowest levels since the shots were first cleared, according to recent CDC data.

  5. Pfizer & Moderna Investors Run for the Exits

    These sophisticated investors make it their business to not go with the conventional wisdom but to do their own research, which often pays spectacular dividends.

    Edward Dowd is one such investor. He saw the dot com bubble ready to burst and acted accordingly. But, unfortunately, other not-so-savvy investors later saw their dot com heavy portfolios collapse as the NASDAQ Composite Index lost 40% of its value in 2000.

    Dowd, a graduate of Notre Dame University and former Portfolio Manager at Blackrock, grew his fund from $2 billion to $14 billion and commanded the respect of his investment community peers.

    Today, after semi-retiring to the shores of South Maui, he remains a voice of stock market wisdom that many hedge funds continue to rely upon. LinkedIn lists him as a Consultant to Founder & Partner of Symphonic Capital, LLC.

    Dowd has sounded the alarm on Moderna and Pfizer as sinking ships that investors need to abandon. So what does the man who foresaw the dot com and the subprime mortgage crisis have to say about Moderna and Pfizer, and what trouble could exist in the paradise of COVID vaccine profits
    ?

    Here are Dowd’s words:

    I want to liken here to what's gone on in the Great Financial Crisis. We had rating agencies, third-party verification sources that were able to perpetuate the fraud because the money got too big, their institutions became corrupted with the institutional imperative, and they got triple-A ratings which we all know in hindsight were not triple-A ratings – let's move forward to today.

    The FDA is the trusted third-party verification of pharmaceutical products. 50% of their budget comes from Pharma...due to the institutional imperative that was in place at the time and the speed with which they tried to approve these unproven products with this unproven technology, fraud did occur, and what's my proof of that? The FDA, together with Pfizer, were trying to hide the clinical data.

    And it’s come out recently...that the all-cause mortality for the Pfizer product failed – that means there were more deaths in the vaccine group than the placebo group. Normally in such a case, you have NO drug approval for such drugs. It's the gold standard. I've been told by all my people in the Biotech Industry they were horrified... See mark 25:10.

    Fauci was one of the White House Covid-19 advisers who unveiled the Covid preparedness plan today. Hard to miss if you have been paying attention to the news today.

    White House to unveil COVID preparedness plan on Wednesday
    https://www.reuters.com/business/he...id-19-preparedness-plan-wednesday-2022-03-02/

    WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) - The Biden administration will announce on Wednesday a national preparedness plan for COVID-19, mapping out how "to move forward safely and get back to our more normal routines," the White House said in a statement.

    To be unveiled by top White House COVID-19 advisers including Dr. Anthony Fauci, the plan comes as coronavirus infections decline in the United States and masking and social distancing guidelines are eased.

    So yet another Tweet posted to ET that is marked by Twitter as misleading and promotes completely false nonsense about vaccines. It is absurd that people keep posting this obvious misinformation.
