Science and Solidarity: VSS Provides Latest Updates Amidst Pandemic #30
Honoring the "Quixotes" Who Have Resisted the Mass COVID Vaccination Campaign: A Call for Science and Solidarity
International Pediatricians Urge for an Immediate Stop to the Global COVID Vaccination Campaign for Children | Advocating for Science and Unity
Introduction
A group of pediatricians from around the world has called for an immediate halt to the global campaign to vaccinate children against COVID-19. The group, called „Voice for Science and Solidarity,“ argues that the risks of the vaccine outweigh the benefits for children, who are at low risk of severe illness from the virus. The group also raises concerns about the lack of long-term safety data for the vaccines.
Risks vs. Benefits
The pediatricians argue that the risks of the COVID-19 vaccine for children outweigh the benefits. They point out that children are at low risk of severe illness from the virus, and that the vaccine has not been adequately tested for safety in children. They also note that the vaccine has been associated with rare but serious side effects, such as myocarditis and blood clots.
The group argues that the focus should be on protecting vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with underlying health conditions. They also call for more research into the long-term effects of the vaccine, particularly on fertility and reproductive health.
Long-Term Safety Concerns
One of the main concerns raised by the pediatricians is the lack of long-term safety data for the COVID-19 vaccine. They argue that the vaccine has only been in use for a short period of time, and that there is no way to know what the long-term effects may be. They also note that the vaccine has not been adequately tested for safety in children, and that there are concerns about the potential impact on fertility and reproductive health.
The group calls for more research into the long-term effects of the vaccine, particularly on fertility and reproductive health. They argue that this research should be conducted before the vaccine is widely administered to children. They also call for greater transparency and accountability from vaccine manufacturers and regulatory agencies.

The pediatricians of „Voice for Science and Solidarity“ have called for an immediate halt to the global campaign to vaccinate children against COVID-19. They argue that the risks of the vaccine outweigh the benefits for children, who are at low risk of severe illness from the virus.
