Kid-size doses of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in Puurs, Belgium in October 2021. (Pfizer via AP) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in a report on Friday that Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine meets the agency’s criteria for the immune response it generated in children aged 5 to 11; the agency also said that the vaccine would likely provide more benefits than risks in most scenarios.
The FDA briefing document ( pdf ) was published ahead of a scheduled meeting of a panel of outside experts on Oct. 26. Members of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee are to vote on that day on whether they would recommend the FDA to authorize the shots.
In the document, the FDA acknowledged results from Pfizer released earlier in the day that said the two-dose vaccine was nearly 90.7 percent effective against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus in a clinical trial of the children aged 5–11.
Pfizer’s clinical trial was not primarily designed to measure efficacy against the virus. The trial compared the amount of neutralizing antibodies induced by the vaccine in the children to the response of older recipients in their adult trial. Based on those results, Pfizer-BioNTech said last month that their COVID-19 vaccine induced a robust immune response in the children.
The FDA noted no new or unexpected side effects. Adverse effects in the Pfizer trial included sore arms, fever, or achiness. The FDA said the study wasn’t large enough to detect extremely rare side effects, including myocarditis, a type of heart inflammation that occasionally occurs after the second dose. Benefits Outweigh Risks: FDA
The FDA used statistical modeling to analyze whether the benefits would outweigh risks from the Pfizer vaccine for the young age group. It found that, over a 6-month period, the vaccine for children aged 5–11 provided more benefits than risks in six scenarios of varying COVID-19 incidence.
The modeling evaluated predicted numbers per million of preventable symptomatic COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, and deaths. It compared those figures with predicted numbers per million of vaccine-associated excess myocarditis/pericarditis cases, hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths attributable to […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
