“Vaccination requirements should not be another issue that divides us,” President Joe Biden declared throughout a press convention on Oct. 14. Then he introduced: “We have purchased enough vaccines for all children between the ages of five and 11.” That age group has but to be authorized to obtain the COVID jabs, and already the president has constructed up a stockpile? What about following the science?

The Food and Drug Administration isn’t set to listen to in regards to the “safety” and “efficacy” of youngsters’s vaccines from Pfizer and BioNTech drug firms till October 26. Nevertheless, Biden is gung-ho and able to go, regardless of the chance this transfer will spawn extra mandates – on youngsters this time – which can spark a struggle between mother and father and the federal government. As Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier defined, “We don’t know if the data shows benefit v risk when it comes to this young age group.”

According to Saphier, it hasn’t been confirmed that this age group even wants the vaccine or what type of hurt it’d trigger. She mentioned:

“Here’s the problem that I have, because we do see some of that division because you have comments such as that, essentially saying you bought all the doses for the five- to 11-year-olds, go out and get your children vaccinated as soon as it’s approved and they’re eligible. Yet we haven’t heard from the scientists. We haven’t heard that it is what is necessary in the five- to 11-year-olds. Like we saw before when it came to the boosters and other things. Unfortunately, the White House comes out with some of these comments before there has been a final decision.”

The physician went on to debate the undue stress such a press release from the commander-in-chief may very well be placing on those that are attempting to find out the effectivity and necessity of such a vaccination:

“We don’t want bias when our scientists and experts are looking at the data and putting forth their recommendations just because President Biden or the White House had said that this is happening.”

Is this a completed deal then, because the president mentioned so?

In Indiana, two younger youngsters, ages 4 and 5, had been mistakenly given the grownup Pfizer vaccines, and each youngsters are struggling unwanted side effects, together with coronary heart points. Granted, the doses had been stronger than if they’d been made for youngsters, however many mother and father are nonetheless fearful.

The concern is the president’s skewed understanding of the scope of his authority. We’ve seen it when he threatened to remove governors’ powers in the event that they didn’t implement his vaccination mandates. We’ve seen it with how he acquired rid of former President Donald Trump’s insurance policies for controlling unlawful immigration, then refused to do something to assist the states struggling from these govt orders alongside the southern border. We’ve seen it along with his vaccination calls for which have tens of hundreds of important staff being fired or quitting. And we’ve seen it along with his absolute certainty that the $3.5 trillion infrastructure invoice will ultimately move.

Purchasing the COVID vaccine for youngsters earlier than it’s even formally been authorized raises the query: Are we following science, or is science following the president?
