ICYMI: Despite the 4 ‘NO’ votes and concern of premature birth, #VRBPAC went full steam ahead to recommend Pfizer’s new #RSV vaccine for pregnant women to passively immunize their babies.
@NassMeryl Dr. Bernstein, one of the 4 “NO” votes, made an astute comparison to the failed rotavirus vaccine which was pulled from the market in 1999 due to an increased risk of intussusception (serious intestinal blockage) in babies:
@NassMeryl Instead, he proposed a new, experimental plan to give ALL BABIES monoclonal antibodies on their first day of life.
“Although it’s investigational or still being studied … nirsevimab at birth for all healthy infants I think really will potentially be a game changer against RSV… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@NassMeryl In the past, doctors did not recommend vaccinating pregnant women due to the potential risks.
Today, pregnant women will be coerced to receive:
🔴FLU
🔴TDAP
🔴COVID
🔴RSV
🔴Rhogam (only if Rh neg.)
@NassMeryl There were 4 ‘NO’ votes from FDA’s advisory committee due to concern for PRETERM BIRTH with Pfizer’s RSV vaccine. Will doctors inform their pregnant patients of this?
Or, that GSK had to abandon their RSV vaccine program due to PRETERM BIRTH?
I think we know the answer ...
@NassMeryl The #RSV vaccine trades one problem for another, with potentially more tragic results.
Other truly safe + effective treatments for RSV should be studied in order to protect pregnant women + their babies.
On Thursday @CDCgov officially added the COVID vaccine to its routine immunization schedule for adults and children — even though it’s still an Emergency Use Authorized product, meaning #BigPharma manufacturers aren't liable when the vax injures US citizens.
💉 Healthy children 6 months to 11 years old receive 2 doses of the mRNA Moderna or Pfizer COVID vaccine, followed by a booster
💉 Healthy people age 12+ receive 2 doses of the Moderna, Pfizer or Novavax vaccine followed by a booster

All COVID vaccines administered to U.S. children are Emergency Use Authorized products.
@US_FDA granted approval to Pfizer’s Comirnaty vaccine for ages 12+, but it’s not available in the U.S. — meaning all children who get the Pfizer vaccine are getting an EUA product 👎
Yesterday, Children’s Health Defense filed a lawsuit against the @US_FDA to obtain documents related to the agency’s safety monitoring of the COVID-19 vaccines through the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (#VAERS) database.

@US_FDA The lawsuit alleges FDA violated the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to provide key analysis of VAERS reports. The FOIA request was submitted July 2022
“Federal agencies took the unprecedented step of ordering vaccine makers to produce them and recommending them without data supporting their safety or efficacy.”
