IT’S OFFICIAL: CDC Adds COVID-19 Vaccine to Routine Immunization Schedule for Children and Adolescents (VIDEO)

For the first time, the ‘unsafe and ineffective’ COVID-19 vaccine was formally added to the routine immunization schedule for both children and adolescents by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday.

It is common knowledge that COVID-19 poses no threat to young children, that mRNA vaccinations against the virus are not effective or safe and that some people have even died after receiving a COVID vaccine. But the CDC and its advisory council continue to push for childhood vaccinations despite all these facts.

Back in October 2022, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which provides advice and guidance to the Director of the CDC regarding the use of vaccines for the control of vaccine-preventable diseases, voted to recommend COVID-19 to be included in the 2023 childhood immunization schedule in 15 unanimous votes.

ACIP recommended the use of COVID-19 vaccines for everyone as young as 6 months and older. The COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines may be administered on the same day.

Once CDC approves it, our Department of Health can exercise its rule-making authority to add it to the healthcare and school schedule at any time. And now it’s official.

The recommendation to include the experimental COVID vaccine was approved by the CDC together with doctors, nurses, and pharmacists on Thursday as they are bringing the COVID emergency declaration to an end.

“The 2023 child and adolescent immunization schedule, available on the CDC immunization schedule website, summarizes ACIP recommendations, including several changes from the 2022 immunization schedule,” CDC wrote on its website. “Health care providers are advised to use the tables, notes, and appendix together to determine recommended vaccinations for patient populations.”

“This immunization schedule is recommended by ACIP and approved by CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Nurse-Midwives, the American Academy of Physician Associates, and the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners,” CDC added.

The addition of the COVID vaccine gives a more official recommendation to healthcare providers and schools.

“This means COVID-19 vaccine is now presented as any other routinely recommended vaccine and is no longer presented in a special “call out” box as in previous years. This, in a sense, helps ‘normalize’ this vaccine and sends a powerful message to both healthcare providers and the general public that everyone ages 6 months and older should stay up to date with recommended COVID-19 vaccines (including a booster, when eligible), just as they would with any other routinely recommended vaccine,” Dr. Neil Murthy and Dr. A. Patricia Wodi said in a statement.

Routine vaccination of COVID vaccine per CDC:

Primary series:

Age 6 months–4 years: 2-dose series at 0, 4-8 weeks (Moderna) or 3-dose series at 0, 3-8, 11-16 weeks (Pfizer-BioNTech)

Age 5–11 years: 2-dose series at 0, 4-8 weeks (Moderna) or 2-dose series at 0, 3-8 weeks (Pfizer-BioNTech)

Age 12–18 years: 2-dose series at 0, 4-8 weeks (Moderna) or 2-dose series at 0, 3-8 weeks (Novavax, Pfizer-BioNTech)

For booster dose recommendations, see www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html

Persons who are moderately or severely immunocompromised:

Primary series

Age 6 months–4 years: 3-dose series at 0, 4, 8 weeks (Moderna) or 3-dose series at 0, 3, 11 weeks (Pfizer-BioNTech)

Age 5–11 years: 3-dose series at 0, 4, 8 weeks (Moderna) or 3-dose series at 0, 3, 7 weeks (Pfizer-BioNTech)

Age 12–18 years: 3-dose series at 0, 4, 8 weeks (Moderna) or 2-dose series at 0, 3 weeks (Novavax) or 3-dose series at 0, 3, 7 weeks (Pfizer-BioNTech)

Booster dose: see www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (monoclonal antibodies) may be considered to complement COVID-19 vaccination. See www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html#immunocompromised

The immunization schedules are updated annually in the late fall and are used as a guideline by states for school entry requirements and by physicians, and healthcare providers.

State or local authorities frequently consider the CDC’s schedule when establishing their school admission requirements.

The CDC claimed that adding the COVID vaccine to the list of immunization schedules does not mean it will be mandatory for school entry.

The agency stated that school-entry vaccination requirements are determined by state or local jurisdictions.

EU Attacks Elon Musk’s Twitter for Allegedly Failing So-Called ‘Disinformation’ Test

Officials within the European Union have heavily criticised Elon Musk’s Twitter for failing a so-called “disinformation” test set by the bloc.

Elon Musk’s Twitter has allegedly failed a test examining whether it has been sufficiently complying with EU demands on “disinformation”, a report on Thursday has claimed.

A number of social media platforms are said to have taken part in the voluntary test, which was implemented as part of the censorious new Digital Services Act being put into full force by the union this year.

According to a report by POLITICO, Musk’s Twitter was the only major social media platform out of the likes of Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok, which didn’t meet the union’s demands.

In particular, Twitter is said to have failed to provide the bloc with sufficient data as to how it tackles so-called “disinformation”, with the tech firm also allegedly not providing the EU with a complete report on how it will work with “fact checkers”.

“I am disappointed to see that Twitter’s report lags behind others and I expect a more serious commitment to their obligations stemming from the Code,” European Commission Vice President for Values Věra Jourová remarked regarding the platform’s failure.

Although the cost of failing to abide by the bloc’s new rules on disinformation and censorship is nothing but admonishment right now, the price of failing to comply will soon substantially increase.

Failing the voluntary test will reportedly mean that Twitter may end up coming under more legislative scrutiny from Brussels in the very near future, which may in turn result in the platform being handed hefty fines.

Under the EU Digital Services Act under which the regulations are outlined, social media firms with a userbase of over 5 million users will start facing compliance investigations from September, with tech giants risking penalties of up to six per cent of their global revenues should they be found to have breached the bloc’s demands.

The commission seems to have Twitter in particular in its sights for alleged future violations, with senior Eurocrats having at this point repeatedly threatened the company with sanctions seemingly in response to owner Elon Musk’s stated desire to see the platform embrace free speech.

Although Musk has tried to appease such EU authorities by promising he will comply with demands for censorship, such attempts to bend the knee appear to have fallen on deaf ears, with EU internal market commissioner Thierry Breton warning of a future clampdown should Twitter not sufficiently implement Brussels’ censorship regime.

Breton has even threatened Musk that he will see the EU ban Twitter should it fail to implement the moderation changes the EU desires and has even openly redirected Twitter users to progressive-leaning rival Mastodon, despite its history of “numerous vulnerabilities and other security issues”.
