Thread by @Ashmedaidemon

This thread is a master class in delusional fearmongering and propaganda

And sickening when you contemplate the consequences of vaccinating kids with the magic spike juice

The ACIP slides that @nirav_mainecdc relies on have no credibility, which we will get to at the end

Citing the CDC as an authority is the functional equivalent of citing Alex Jones

(Still ok to use CDC data in the context of "even the CDC admits ______")

This provides by itself all the reason in the world not to jab the kiddies - they pretty much all had covid by now

https://twitter.com/nirav_mainecdc/status/1538543389918085123

Here's the CDC's own study on that for anyone interested

Pediatric Infection-Induced SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence Estimation Using Commercial Laboratory Specimens: How Representative Is It of the General U.S. Pediatric Population?

@nirav_mainecdc next move is to attempt to portray a blatantly false reality that healthy kids get serious covid disease at non-negligible rates

So... let's see

Even per CDC’s own stats, only 442 kids 0-4 died with covid out of a total population of more than 19.7 million through 5/28/22

That's *WITH*, not *OF*

Which we shall see is rather significant
data.cdc.gov/d/nr4s-juj3

We know that the CDC’s #’s dramatically overexaggerate the true covid morbidity/mortality especially in pediatric population

Very very very dramatically

Which is how they excrete slides like the ACIP absurdities

Kushner et al found that 45% of pediatric hospitalizations were “unlikely to be caused by covid”; and that 67.5% were either asymptomatic (39.3%) or mild to moderate disease (28.2%)

ie were not sick enough to warrant hosp cuz of disease

publications.aap.org/hospitalpediat…

Webb et al found that only 14% of hospitalized patients under 22yo were “significantly symptomatic”, while 40% were “incidental infections” and 47% were “potentially symptomatic”

That's ONLY **14%**!!!!!
publications.aap.org/hospitalpediat…

They even concluded “Most hospitalized patients who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 are asymptomatic or have a reason for hospitalization other than coronavirus disease 2019”

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't believe the baloney ACIP wants you to mindlessly accept

Scientific method, not Scientism

Wu et al found that >51% of children infected with covid were co-infected with another respiratory pathogen

In other words, even kids with respiratory symptoms, many were probably NOT because of covid but bec of e.g. RSV (a far bigger threat to children)

publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art…

Smith et al found that based on the clinical records, “36 (59%) of the 61 CYP were categorised as SARS-CoV-2 did not contribute to death”

Perhaps @nirav_mainecdc is unfamiliar with COD methodology or formats??

Ya never know with "experts" these days

researchsquare.com/article/rs-689…

Sorg et al found literally ZERO deaths in kids 5-11 – “In this group, the ICU admit rate was 0.2 per 10,000 and ***case fatality could not be calculated, due to an absence of cases.***"

Yup, it's hard to calculate mortality rate without any mortalities
medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

And let's not forget, the CDC itself at the start of the pandemic admitted “For children (0-17 years), COVID-19 hospitalization rates are much lower than influenza hospitalization rates during recent influenza seasons.”
cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

For the record, there is no compelling evidence that even unhealthy kids have meaningful risk from covid

"Immunocompromised children and young people are at no increased risk of severe COVID-19"

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@nirav_mainecdc here is literally quoting... well...

The study cited for these #'s does not even reach the level of junk science

It is just plain junk

https://twitter.com/nirav_mainecdc/status/1538543424214900736

@KelleyKga did a marvelous job discovering and debunking this illiterate drivel

The study's authors REVISED their study in response to the elementary but fatal flaws she unearthed

....using CDC's OWN data

covid-georgia.com/pediatric-news…

and these flaws would be criticized if committed by a 9th grader, let alone credentialed scientists whose work is being used to formulate vaccine recommendations/policy for hundreds of millions of children

https://twitter.com/KelleyKga/status/1537871488149295106

And it was every bit as bad as it was made out to be

https://twitter.com/KelleyKga/status/1537909108015214595

This kerfuffle led to a truly epic smackdown by @MartinKulldorff

This is also an accurate take on the state of affairs of SCIENCE

Beware the troglodyte political activists masquerading as experts

https://twitter.com/MartinKulldorff/status/1542570985563602947

Some more dishonest framing - this does not demonstrate severity

Just because covid is more likely than a nuclear reactor meltdown to kill a kid in Congo does not mean that covid is a tangible risk

https://twitter.com/nirav_mainecdc/status/1538543428459446272

If you answer to the question of

"why vaccinate kids against a disease that poses negligible statistical risk"
=
"well we vaccinate them for diseases that have even LESS risk"

Then perhaps we should reevaluate those vaccinations too

You know what REALLY is dangerous to kiddies???

Like WAAAAAAAy more than covid?

BATHTUBS

Literally

https://twitter.com/nirav_mainecdc/status/1538543430330200066

Drowning is THE leading cause of death for kids 1-4 (besides birth defects)

Who wants to hazard a guess how many pediatric "covid" deaths involved bathtubs??

cdc.gov/drowning/facts…

Basically, kids are not imperiled by covid. Period. Especially healthy kids.

I forgot to include this earlier

https://twitter.com/kerpen/status/1413191641502990344?s=20

Oh, and what about long covid you ask?

“Seropositive children, all with a history of pauci-symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, did not report long COVID more frequently than seronegative children”

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

The BMJ published the following

"Vaccinating children to prevent long covid? More caution is needed in interpreting current epidemiological data"

Cuz who needs caution, these vaccines are PERFECTION incarnate, NO downsides to worry about at all
bmj.com/content/372/bm…

"How Common is Long COVID in Children and Adolescents?"

"Of the 5 studies which included children and adolescents without SARS-CoV-2 infection as controls,

journals.lww.com/pidj/Citation/…

2 did not find persistent symptoms to be more prevalent in children and adolescents with evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This highlights that long-term SARS-CoV-2 infection–associated symptoms are difficult to distinguish from pandemic-associated symptoms."

No kidding Sherlock

But MIS-C!!!!!!

CDC still can't definitively say if there's a link between covid & MIS-C

But there actually is an alternate plausible etiological possibility for MIS-C....

cdc.gov/mis/mis-c.html

"Patients with KD were generally less exposed to environmental allergens in many aspects of their daily lives"

In other words the absence of exposure to natural allergens/pathogens can cause the same symptomatology… a likely byproduct of lockdowns

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Let's discuss vaccine efficacy in kids though

Kind of important, cuz if it don't work, then we should consider -

MORE BOOSTERS

Duh

Cuz those [negative] efficacy #'s are sooo impressive

https://twitter.com/nirav_mainecdc/status/1538543385614684160

Dorabawila et al found vaccine efficacy against infection for Pfizer in kids 5-11 plummeted to 12% by 28-34 days after the 2nd dose, and to 48% for hospitalization.

And then plummeted further into NEGATIVE efficacy

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Moderna’s trial found, according to their own press release, “vaccine efficacy in children 6 months to 2 years was 43.7% and vaccine efficacy was 37.5% in the 2 to under 6 years age group.”

BELOW the 50% threshold for EUA per the FDA’s own standards

investors.modernatx.com/news/news-deta…

If you can't even trust Moderna's own press release, who can you trust exactly???

I know - Pfizer!!

Oh wait, not Pfizer either:

Pfizer’s initial trial failed to show any benefit (Pfizer and BioNTech Provide Update on Ongoing Studies of COVID-19 Vaccine
pfizer.com/news/press-rel…

Yeah, SCIENCE these days is primarily disseminated via press release

To be fair, it's not like they're less accurate or corrupt than the top-echelon medical journals

What is... SURGISPHERE
@TheLancet

These press releases even admitted to failing basic efficacy metrics

Let's take a look at the Pfizer kiddie trial:

fda.gov/media/159195/d…

-more covid cases in vax arm than placebo (225-150)

-6/8 "serious" covid cases were in vax arm, incl the one hospitalization (page 56)

🤔🤔🤔🤔

Moderna trial was no better

explanation of some of the chicanery laid out here

tobyrogers.substack.com/p/the-sole-pur…

And all this hasn't even touched on the adverse -

AWESOME SAFETY

SUPER DUPER DUPER UNPARRALLELED SAFENESS

so safe that you can die from the safety

Literally
ashmedai.substack.com/p/who-knew-cas…

So the great Paul Offit himself admitted:

"all age groups are at risk for the theoretical problem of an “original antigenic sin” — a decreased ability to respond to a new immunogen because the immune system has locked onto the original immunogen"

nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

yeah, that might be a wee problem there

Cuz we definitely did robust trials to see what the longterm immunological consequences might be

They just couldn't wait a bit longer before blowing up the trials by vaccinating the control arms???
