CDC approval of the shots as safe or effective was  not “evidence-based”  Healthy children under 18 have virtually no risk of death from COVID, a 99.995% recovery rate and the vast majority have minimal symptoms.  Most children are already immune. The shot does not prevent transmission or infection with the virus. There are several drugs proven safer than the shot that are effective at treating and preventing COVID in children. The CDC and FDA did not determine the long-term safety of the current COVID shots in children before instituting current child vaccine policies. There are many unstudied and thus  unknown concerns about the shot such as fertility, cancer and autoimmune diseases. The risks demonstrably outweigh the benefits of COVID vaccination in children. There is abundant evidence in official U.S. vaccine safety tracking databases that injuries from the COVID shots in children are catastrophic, including 64 U.S. deaths, 433 near-deaths and 308 permanently disabled. The shot is  not “routinely recommended” for children An increasing number of countries (Denmark, Sweden, UK) and U.S. states (FL) have recommended  against the shot in children, especially in younger children and babies.
