WHO: There is no evidence that children require booster injections

In a press conference, the scientific director of the World Health Organization (WHO, or WHO in the English version) punished the wishes of the super proponents of vaccination especially in minors with a dry and clear statement: there is no evidence that healthy children have need for booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Dr Soumya Swaminathan said Tuesday that “there is no evidence at this time that healthy children or adolescents need boosters. No evidence at all ”.

“The goal is to protect the most vulnerable, to protect those who are at the highest risk of serious illness and death. These are our elderly populations, immunocompromised people with previous pathologies, but also health workers, ”he said.

Here is the complete WHO conference (the intervention in question is about halfway through).

Swaminathan's comments come about two weeks after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approved the use of booster injections for teens ages 12-17 amid the current increase in cases. coronavirus due to the highly contagious variant of omicron.

Israel began offering boosters to 12-year-olds, Hungary did too, and Germany became the latest country to recommend that all children between the ages of 12 and 17 receive a COVID-19 booster vaccine. .

Swaminathan said the agency's advisory group, called Sage, or the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, will meet later this week to consider whether and how countries should use boosters.

The fact that the scientific evidence is still partial and not confirmed by the WHO will not stop over-vaccinated nations from pursuing their policies. Anyone who has staked everything, even politically, on "Plan A" will never be able to admit the existence of a "Plan B", even a minimally different policy, even when the main project turns out to be useless. We are faced with the mantra of modern politics, which does not allow for thought or hesitation.
