'The only possible conclusion from this analysis is that the use of this [COVID] vaccine in adolescents cannot be permitted, and that its ongoing use in any and all age groups ought to be stopped immediately.'
July 30, 2021 (America’s Frontline Doctors) – Eminent European physicians and scientists this month co-authored an expert statement regarding Comirnaty–COVID-19 mRNA vaccine for children, outlining their expert opinions that “vaccination of adolescents for COVID-19 is unnecessary, claims demonstrating efficacy are misleading, and the safety profiles are catastrophic.”
It is authored by the former Chair of the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, Johannes-Gutenberg University of Mainz Prof. emiretus Sucharit Bhakdi, M.D.; European registered toxicologist and immunologist and CEO of the TPI consult GmbH Prof. Dr. Stefan Hockertz; Facharzt für medizinische Mikrobiologie und Infektionsepidemiologie, Department of Chemistry, University of Waterloo Prof. Dr. Med. Michael Palmer; and Facharzt für innere Medizin-Lungen-und Bronchialkrankheiten, Facharzt für Hygiene und Umweltmedizin, Facharzt für öffentliches Gesundheitswesen Ltd. Med. Dir. i.R. Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg.
The document seeks to answer three questions:
Is vaccination of adolescents against COVID-19 necessary?
Is the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine effective?
Is the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine safe?
Arguments presented in Section 1 of the study pertain to all COVID-19 vaccines, whereas those in Sections 2 and 3 apply specifically to the Pfizer vaccine.
Section 1 seeks to show that vaccinating adolescents for COVID-19 is unnecessary, because in this age group the disease is almost always mild and benign;
for the rare clinical cases that require it, treatment is readily available;
immunity to the disease is now widespread, due to prior infection with the virus (SARS-CoV-2) or with other coronavirus strains; and
asymptomatic adolescents will not transmit the disease to other individuals who might be at greater risk of infection.
Section 2 seeks to demonstrate that the claims of efficacy that Pfizer attaches to its vaccine—namely, 95% efficacy in adults, and 100% in adolescents—are misleading, because these numbers pertain to relative, not absolute efficacy, the latter being on the order of only 1%;
specious, because they refer to an arbitrarily defined, clinically meaningless evaluation endpoint, whereas no efficacy at all has been demonstrated against severe disease or mortality;
most likely altogether fraudulent.
Section 3 seeks to show that the safety profile of the Pfizer vaccine is “catastrophically bad”. It claims that
Pfizer, the EMA, and the FDA have systematically neglected evidence from preclinical animal trials that clearly pointed to grave dangers of adverse events;
the Pfizer vaccine has caused thousands of deaths within five months of its introduction;
The agencies that granted emergency use authorization for this vaccine committed grave errors and omissions in their assessments of known and possible health risks.
