Pfizer vaccine for children under 5 could be available by end of February: report | KTLA

By Thomas A. Smith

(The Hill) Pfizer and BioNTech are reportedly close to submitting a request for emergency authorization for a COVID-19 vaccine that can be administered to children under the age of 5.

Sources familiar with the matter told The Washington Post that the companies are expected to submit an emergency use authorization request for their two-dose vaccine to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as early as Tuesday, potentially allowing for the vaccine to be available by the end of the month.

If I had a 5 year old, I would not be giving him a vaccine. This strikes me as madness. Why is this even legal? Is it even safe? Aren’t the chances of a 5 year old even developing Covid symptoms miniscule? Please tell me if I’m wrong. Perhaps I’m just too much inside my bubble. But if I’m right, this is just child abuse.
