The Food and Drug Administration authorized COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months old on Friday. It enables shots for 20 million babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must still sign off before kids under age 5 can start getting vaccinated. That could happen within days.
“Those trusted with the care of children can have confidence in the safety and effectiveness of these COVID-19 vaccines. And can be assured that the agency was thorough in its evaluation of the data,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said in a statement announcing the move.
The FDA’s decision comes after unanimous votes of support out of a daylong meeting Wednesday. The meeting included the regulator’s outside advisers, and the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee. The bureaucrats weighed submissions from Moderna as well as Pfizer and its partner BioNTech.
There are no long-term studies obviously.
Gov. DeSantis defends Florida being the only state to not pre-order COVID vaccines for kids under 5 and recommending against taking it:

What I have discovered, far too lengthy to include in a comment, MADE MY HEAD EXPLODE. Nearly EVERYTHING the public has been told is either a lie or a DAMNED lie. Children… Read more »
The FDA and CDC are not longer dangerous, they are a threat to the Human Race! What we are seeing is the potential Culling of Humans around the World with an “Experimental” drug that has the potential to be a Jonestown Kool-Aid. The “Shot” needs to be banned until it goes through the Full and Proper approval process.
Since Obama politicized and even weaponized every letter agency of the US government I don’t trust any of them regarding my family’s health. Furthermore healthy kids without other health issues are in extremely little danger from the current variations of COVID. Follow the money on this too.
