U.S. citizens: Demand Congress investigate soaring excess death rates

(LifeSiteNews) — Pediatricians across the United States are scaling back on their orders of updated COVID-19 vaccines for children after portions of previous stock went unused, and are opening up about their difficulty judging waning interest from parents.

MedPage Today reported that some doctors admit they’ve been reduced to “‘guessing” how much reformulated COVID vaccine to order after a paltry 15 percent of eligible children were vaccinated in the 2023-2024 season. Compounding the issue is that unused COVID shots often last shorter than other childhood vaccines.

“This is where we usually store our COVID vaccines, but we don’t have any right now because they all expired at the end of last year and we had to dispose of them,” Orange Country, California pediatrician Dr. Eric Ball said, opening a refrigerator of childhood shots. “We thought demand would be way higher than it was.”

“Watching it sitting on our shelves expiring every 30 days, that’s like throwing away $150 repeatedly every day, multiple times a month,” he continued, explaining that ordering just a bare minimum supply for the fall season still cost more than $63,000.

Adding to headaches is that the pharmaceutical giants behind the vaccines cannot be counted on to take back unused stock. Pfizer “will take back all unused COVID shots for young children, but only 30% of doses opens in a new tab or window for people 12 and older,” MedPage said. Moderna’s return policy varies on the basis of individual contracts with different providers.

“Pfizer is creating that situation. If you’re only going to let us return 30%, we’re not going to buy much,” South Carolina pediatrician Dr. Deborah Greenhouse said. “We can’t (…) Frankly, it’s not an ideal situation, but it’s what we have to do to stay in business.”

Doctors’ struggle to unload child COVID vaccine doses suggests, at a minimum, that parents are broadly rejecting the narrative that their children need to be immunized for COVID, if not necessarily widespread awareness of the shots’ risks.

Evidence finds that children face little-to-no-danger from COVID itself. In February 2024, the first interim report of a grand jury impaneled by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to investigate the COVID vaccines determined among other things that COVID was “statistically almost harmless” to children and most adults.

By contrast, a large body of evidence identifies significant risks to the COVID vaccines, which were developed and reviewed in a fraction of the time vaccines usually take under former President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed initiative. Among it, the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports 37,910 deaths, 217,931 hospitalizations, 21,917 heart attacks, and 28,602 myocarditis and pericarditis cases as of September 6, among other ailments. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researchers have recognized a “high verification rate of reports of myocarditis to VAERS after mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination,” leading to the conclusion that “under-reporting is more likely” than over-reporting.

An analysis of 99 million people across eight countries published February in the journal Vaccine “observed significantly higher risks of myocarditis following the first, second and third doses” of mRNA-based COVID vaccines, as well as signs of increased risk of “pericarditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis,” and other “potential safety signals that require further investigation.” In April, the CDC was forced to release by court order 780,000 previously undisclosed reports of serious adverse reactions, and a study out of Japan found “statistically significant increases” in cancer deaths after third doses of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines and offered several theories for a causal link.
