Parental Consent

There’s a strange inverse relationship between how old you are, how deadly COVID-19 is, and how likely you are to have a bad adverse reaction to one of the COVID vackseens.  COVID-19 impacts the elderly more than it does the young.  The younger you are, the less likely it is that you’re going to have any symptoms at all.  Most kids won’t even know they’ve had COVID unless someone tells them.

But the vackseens are just the opposite.  The younger you are, the more likely you are to be seriously injured or killed by one of those experimental drugs.  Anyone who has been paying even the tiniest bit of attention knows this.

How many elderly people do you know who were vackinsated and had any kind of bad reaction?  I don’t know anybody.  I’m not saying that older people aren’t damaged by the COVID vackseens, just that I don’t know anyone who has been. 

All the older folks I know who got vacksinated are just fine.  The younger people?  Not so much.  I know people who got jabbed months ago and still aren’t back to normal.  It’s unlikely at this point that they ever will be.

It’s not the elderly who are dying of vackseen-related blood clots and heart problems.  It’s the young people.

We should all be able to agree by now that there’s a non-zero amount of risk associated with taking one of the vackseens.  And while the drug companies work hard to make sure people don’t know this, their vackseens do kill people.  As you look at the younger population, the risk of taking a COVID vackseen increases while the practical benefit from the vackseens decrease.  Eventually you reach a young enough age that the chance of having an adverse reaction to the vackseens is the same as the chance of having a severe case of the disease.

And, if you keep looking at younger, and younger people, eventually the risks associated with taking the vackseen outweighs the risk associated with having disease it’s supposed to protect them from.

When I saw the video produced by Pfizer showing a bunch of kids, who were obviously actors, saying how proud they were to have been part of a clinical trial, I was flabbergasted.  And that’s not a word I use very often.  The video goes on to thank all the kids who “volunteered”. 

Those kids didn’t volunteer.  They weren’t legally capable of volunteering for anything.  There is no possible way they could have given informed consent.  Which is a requirement for any medical trial.

Their parents gave consent, but not informed consent.  I find it nearly impossible to believe that anyone would sign their otherwise-healthy kid up for an experimental drug trial.  Especially one that has a track record of killing people.  All for a measly few hundred bucks, which is the going rate in the United States for allowing someone to use your body for medical research.

Let me ask you this.  If you’re the parent of a perfectly healthy kid, how much money would it take for you to allow your five-to-twelve-year-old to be injected with an experimental drug that might prevent a disease that presents no risk to your child? 

Let me tell you this.  There is no amount of money that could get me to risk the health of my child.  For any reason.  It’s one thing to allow yourself to be injected with experimental drug.  But to willingly put your child at risk to test a drug that they don’t need?  That’s idiotic.

So, maybe money wasn’t the motivating factor.  Perhaps it was stupidity.  And ignorance.  Because it would take a combination of stupidity and ignorance for anyone to believe that potentially causing permanent harm to the health of their kid is a good idea.

Or maybe it wasn’t about greed or stupidity.  Maybe it was about fear. 

How afraid would you have to be to allow yourself to remain so ignorant that you’d willingly put your child in harm’s way while collecting a few hundred dollars for the effort?  Hmm.  It would seem that greed, ignorance and fear are all interconnected, and the answer is all of the above.

I would absolutely support separating kids from the parents who agreed to have them participate in a medical trial.  Because those people are obviously unfit to be making decisions on behalf of their children.

Like I’ve said many times before, every message is supporting someone’s agenda.  And the message that allowing your kids to be used as Guinea pigs is somehow heroic, clearly supports the goal of Big Pharma.  And their goal isn’t saving lives.  Their goal is to maximize revenues, profits, stock prices and performance bonuses. 

Pfizer just raised their 2021 sales forecast for their COVID-19 drug to $36 billion dollars.  For one drug.  For one year.  It’s obviously in Pfizer’s best interest to convince as many people as possible to be injected over, and over, and over again.  It’s not like they’re putting any effort into improving the drugs.  These “booster” shots are just more of the stuff that has already stopped working.  Stuff that we know hurts people.  Including kids.

Big Pharma isn’t chasing the 5-to-12-year-old kids because of a warm and fuzzy spot in their heart.  They’re doing it to increase the market size.  By convincing the U.S. government to allow our most vulnerable to be injected with a watered-down version of the drug they already have, they’ve just added the possibility of selling another $400 million of their drugs.  In the U.S. alone.  For one shot.  And since it looks like their booster shots are going to be required at least three times a year, that’s a market increase of $1.2 billion dollars.  Per year.  Just in the U.S.

But Pfizer isn’t the only company raking in billions and they’re not the only company pursuing younger and younger people.  Moderna is projecting $18 billion for 2021.  Johnson and Johnson, another $2.5 billion from their COVID drug.

To make it happen though, Big Pharma just needed to find enough parents who were ignorant enough, and stupid enough, and scared enough, and greedy enough, to agree to let their kids take all the risk.  And that’s just what they did.

The only step left is to go after that newborn-to-5-year-old market.  Raise your hand if you’re willing to volunteer your kid, and roll the dice with their life.
