Even though many kids have been back at school for some time, vaccines still are not available for those under 12.
Recently, Pfizer and BioNTech completed a trial showing that a 10-microgram dose of their vaccine was safe and effective for children in the above age groups. They have submitted a request for emergency approval for use in children under 12. The FDA should give its approval by early November.
As soon as FDA approval begins, the White House plans to vaccinate every child between 5 and 12. It plans to make the vaccine available at thousands of doctors and pediatricians offices, pharmacies, hospitals, community health centers and clinics. There are also plans to educate parents on vaccines, all in the effort to reduce the impact of a virus that has taken lives of well over a half a million people in the United States alone.
"If we can get the overwhelming majority of those 28 million children vaccinated, I think that would play a major role in diminishing the spread of infection in the community," Dr. Fauci said at last Wednesday's press briefing at the White House. "That's one of the reasons why we want to do as best we can to get those children 5 to 11 vaccinated."
Dr. Fauci, who is current director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been implicated by delusional Trump loyalists in a conspiratorial cover up – along with mainstream media, i.e., CNN and MSNBC – of creating the coronavirus responsible for COVID, as a bioweapon through gain of function funding, that Dr. Fauci conspired with “the media” to hide the truth of the origin of the virus, and that Trump himself was nothing more than an innocent bystander who just happened to get caught up in all of the melodrama, and that there was nothing or very little that he could do.
This theory has been promoted – without evidence – by not just conservative media figures such as Tucker Carlson and others, but so-called progressives like Joe Rogan, and Krystal Ball on a recent episode of his podcast. This is a conspiracy that has been around since the lab leak theory.

Here’s the thing. Why is this so important to them? Why is the media, known for distorting the truth and pandering to one side of the government, promoting this like their careers depend on it? Why, for a virus that has the same numbers as other flus, is so important to them? When we’ve learned that many never need a vaccines, some die from vaccines, and many have already recovered from the virus so they’re better protected, are they insisting they get the vaccine? Why, when it’s been discovered that children are safer, but that an untested, low researched vaccine may be killing children, are they insisting? Why? Why, when we see the medical establishment, many, and many teachers and others being required rejecting the vaccine, even if it means losing their jobs, are they adamant? Why, in a free country are they being dictators over this? Why this?
