What Could Possibly Go Wrong? All Public School Kids May Soon Be Required to Get COVID Vaccine

Let’s begin with the What could possibly go wrong? part, before moving to the really bad part.

A December 2021 report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) detailed adverse effects among children ages 5–11 after receiving COVID-19 vaccinations, ranging from pain and swelling around injection sites, to systemic reactions, including fatigue, headaches, and joint pain, along with overall health impacts, including the inability to perform normal daily activities or attend school.

A similar study of kids aged 5-11 found more serious side effects, including seizures, appendicitis, allergic reactions, and abnormal renal function, according to Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA).

While other studies have found milder vax side effects in children, the practice remains controversial — at best. Yet? The COVID vaccine may soon be added to the childhood vaccination program. If the vaccine is added, all public school children could be required to get the COVID vaccine. Dr. Marty Makary, a surgeon and professor at Johns Hopkins University, rhetorically asked during a segment with Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday: “Many of us are asking, why even have an FDA? Why even do clinical trials?”

“Why can’t we see this information?” he asked.

Makary continued:

There has never been a vaccine added to the child immunization schedule without solid clinical evidence that it reduces disease significantly in the community. The COVID vaccine in children will be the first. It will be added with no clinical data. What are they hiding? Why can’t we see this information?

Makary told Carlson that those who wanted to see the data were “basically told to stop asking questions.”

Nonetheless, as reported by the Daily Wire, the Thursday schedule for a (CDC) committee shows it is set to consider revisions to the child immunization program. Later on Thursday, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is also scheduled to vote on immunization schedules. While it’s not yet clear that the committee will consider adding the COVID vaccine to childhood vaccinations, the schedule appears to indicate that’s the plan. Wanna place any bets, given what we’ve seen, so far?

As noted by Daily Wire, every state in the country requires public school students to receive childhood immunizations, and many use the CDC’s list as a guide. In other words, when the CDC speaks — with insufficient evidence or potentially serious side effects — public school systems listen without question.

Still, Dr. Ashish Jha, head of the White House COVID task force,  said at a June press briefing that data shows the COVID vaccine protects children. “Let’s set the record straight,” Jha declared, “because the data here is actually quite clear.

Kids are better protected if they are vaccinated. If they are vaccinated, they are far less likely to get seriously ill. They’re far less likely to end up in the hospital, far less likely to end up in the ICU.

Perhaps Jha’s right. But maybe not. Maybe he’s really wrong. That said, should the federal government or government schools — funded by taxpayer dollars — become the sole arbiter of the serious decision facing parents of young children all over America? How to put this gently… “Oh hell, no.”

One look at the disastrous draconian COVID mandates spearheaded by COVID Gnome™ Dr. Anthony Fauci — AKA: “The Science” — or as my colleague Jim Thompson calls Fauci, the Quadruple Vaxed, Double Masked Oracle of Nonsense, and his lies, reveals the troublesome answer.
