New study on COVID-19 vaccination in children (6 months - 4 years) reveals: 1. Pfizer-BioNTech increased infection risk (159%) and symptomatic COVID-19 risk (257%) compared to unvaccinated. 2. Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection offers significant protection (HR for infection: 0.28; symptomatic COVID-19: 0.21). 3. Vaccination alone shows no protection benefits (HR for infection: 1.23; symptomatic COVID-19: 1.61). 4. Bivalent boosters offer no significant protection (HR for infection: 0.74; symptomatic COVID-19: 1.04). Conclusion: Vaccines may increase COVID-19 risk; CDC should revoke vaccine recommendations for young children.
Pfizer mRNA 'Vaccinated' Children Significantly More Likely to Get COVID-19 Than Unvaccinated Peers New study finds Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 'vaccinated' children are 159% more likely to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 and 257% more likely to develop symptomatic COVID-19 than unvaccinated peers.

A new study was just published in the Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society titled, Protection from COVID-19 vaccination and prior SARS-CoV-2 infection among children aged 6 months – 4 years, United States, September 2022–April 2023 . The study combined data from three prospective cohort studies (PROTECT, CASCADIA, and CoVE) conducted in the United States from September 1, 2022, to April 30, 2023 . Included 614 children aged 6 months to 4 years living in Washington, Oregon, Michigan, Arizona, and Utah.
Here are the key findings:
Increased Risk with Pfizer-BioNTech Vaccination :
Children vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection were 159% more likely to get infected and 257% more likely to develop symptomatic COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated children without prior infection:
Hazard Ratio (HR) for infection: 2.59 (95% CI: 1.27–5.28).
HR for symptomatic COVID-19: 3.57 (95% CI: 1.10–11.63).
Prior Infection Offers Robust Protection :
Children with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection (unvaccinated) had a significantly lower risk of reinfection compared to unvaccinated, infection-naïve children:
HR for infection: 0.28 (95% CI: 0.16–0.49).
HR for symptomatic COVID-19: 0.21 (95% CI: 0.08–0.54).
No Protective Effect from Vaccination Alone :
There was no significant reduction in the risk of infection or symptomatic COVID-19 for vaccinated children (Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech) compared to unvaccinated children:
HR for infection with vaccination alone: 1.23 (95% CI: 0.69–2.16).
HR for symptomatic COVID-19 with vaccination alone: 1.61 (95% CI: 0.65–4.03).
Boosters Show No Significant Protection :
Among children who received at least one bivalent booster dose , there was no significant reduction in infection or symptomatic COVID-19:
HR for infection with a bivalent booster : 0.74 (95% CI: 0.37–1.48).
HR for symptomatic COVID-19 with a bivalent booster : 1.04 (95% CI: 0.37–2.96).
In other words, these injections do the opposite of what they’re supposed to do. Instead of protecting against COVID-19, these genetic injections either fail or increase the risk. The CDC should immediately revoke their recommendations for children aged 6 months and older to receive a COVID-19 booster injection.
