COVID Vaccine "Relatively Safe" for Children? Read the Science of this False Claim
#16 2023 The Rowen Report
Dear Subscriber,
I have come across an article in Spanish, which claims, based on VAERS data the authors analyzed, that the vaccine is “relatively safe” for your children. I think we need to look at the facts. The study followed children 5-17.
I copied and pasted the content of the article onto a Google translation page and this got spit out. I will comment afterwards.
The VAERS database included 687,402 AE notifications that mentioned any of the COVID-19 vaccines, of which 2.9% referred to children 5 to 17 years of age. Of this total, 2,820 were from 5 to 11 years old, 8,382 from 12 to 15 years old, and 8,659 from 16 to 17 years old. 52% were female, and regarding the manufacturer, 45.2% (n = 8,973) had received the Moderna vaccine, 42.7% (n = 8,473) that of Pfizer/BioNTech and 12. 1% (n = 2,415) that of Janssen. The most common AEs in both children and adolescents were chills, dizziness, fatigue, and headache. By age, in the 5-11 year-old group the most frequent AEs were chills (27.2% of notifications), dizziness (12.3%), fatigue (10.3%) and headache; in the 12-15 age group, chills (27.4%), dizziness (17.3%), fatigue (9.9%) and headache (7.9%), and in the age group 16-17 years, chills (35.1%), dizziness (17.1%), fatigue (11.8%) and headache (7.2%). Anaphylaxis was recorded in 0.31% of the reports, myocarditis or pericarditis in 0.08%, and death in 0.14%. Table 1 presents detailed information on the AEs for each vaccine.
These results contribute to our knowledge of AEs associated with COVID-19 vaccines in the pediatric population aged 5 to 17 years. The use of the VAERS database carries certain limitations as it is a passive public health reporting system, which can lead to reporting biases, such as increased reporting due to media attention to which they have been subjected. vaccines against COVID-195. To date, research on the safety of these vaccines in the pediatric population has been scant, underscoring the need for additional studies6. Although our study did not allow causal relationships to be established, the results suggest that currently licensed COVID-19 vaccines are relatively safe in the pediatric population aged 5 to 17 years.
Rowen note. Their figures showed 55 deaths in children from the vaccine with an admitted 0.1-0.4% risk of death depending on which mRNA vaccine was injected into the child.
So, now let’s look at figures for the consequences of actual COVID infection in this age group.
“”Herold estimates that less than 2 percent of children known to be infected by the coronavirus are hospitalized, and less than 0.03 percent of those infected die.https://www.vox.com/22699019/covid-19-children-kids-risk-hospitalization-death “”
Data as of April 4, 2023
Our interest here is only the death rate in the identical age group, 5-17. You will see in the table above, from the most populous state, that the mortality rate for actual COVID in this group is 0.1%.
Well, golly-hey-gee. It seems, based on published scientific analysis of the vaccine, that the disease itself is as safe or significantly SAFER than the vaccines, which carry a death rate of 0.1-0.4%. This is a fine example of the twisted logic of the pro-vaccine forces. And, this only covers mortality. Injury from the vaccine could be many fold greater, and with the worst injuries showing up years later in the form of vascular disease, or perhaps fertility issues later in life.
I never saw the logic in vaccinating children, clearly resistant to the disease. In the study, we see up to a 1 in 250 risk of DEATH in your child with the vaccine (depending on which one). They call this “relatively safe”????
The only place I can see a “logical spot” for the vaccine based on conventional medical thinking, and based on the above, is if you are over 50. If you are not a conventional medical thinker and think in the “alternative realm”, the vaccine might not be a good idea at all, as COVID disease seemingly has been very well managed with unconventional methods. Of course, I need to be careful NOT to give you misinformation about a medical matter turned political.
To Your Excellent Health,

"Relatively safe"... compared to Russian Roulette? I'll trust my immune system and singlet oxygen.
It really ticks me off when there is any "hint" that this vaxci could be justifiably recommended for over 50. I'm nearly 57 and would never ruin what I have going for me with injections. If I wasn't healthy then the risk of serious injury would be even more likely for a sickly person. It's just common sense.
