Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna updated boosters cleared in U.S. for children as young as six months

Grandbrothers

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Thursday that the Omicron-adjusted COVID vaccines developed by Pfizer (NYSE:PFE)/BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX) and Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) are authorized in the U.S. for use as boosters in children as young as six months old.

Accordingly, children aged six months – 5 years and six months – 4 years will be eligible to receive a single booster of Pfizer (PFE)/BioNTech (BNTX) and Moderna (MRNA) bivalent COVID-19 vaccines, respectively, after completing the primary vaccine series.

However, the updated booster shots are not indicated for children who have already completed the three-dose primary series with the original Pfizer (PFE)/BioNTech (BNTX) vaccine. The data supporting an additional bivalent vaccine dose for this age group are expected in January, the FDA said.

Announcing the decision, FDA Commissioner Robert Califf highlighted the importance of being up to date with COVID vaccines as holidays and winter months approach.

“More children now have the opportunity to update their protection against COVID-19 with a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, and we encourage parents and caregivers of those eligible to consider doing so – especially as we head into the holidays and winter months where more time will be spent indoors,” he said.

In August, the FDA initially greenlighted the redesigned COVID-19 booster shots adapted for the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of the virus.

The reason why so many vaccinated people suddenly die of myocarditis, pericarditis, or other unexplained causes is because of the stress they must endure from the continued existence of the unvaccinated. Yes, thats right, the SCIENCE proved it in a peer-reviewed article posted on PubMed.

@soral a raison And people laughed and laughed at this.

So, “healthy” young children who have almost zero risk of a mild cold like virus, covid will get a booster for injections of untested gene cell therapy incorrectly called a vaccine for booster number N to infinity for the rest of their lives, while data coming in clearly shows serious adverse reactions. Its even more egregious considering that omicron and bivalence covid variants are already extinct. Unfortunately there is not a vaccine for stupidity.

I don't know what to think of the longevity of Moderna's MRNA platform for the long haul, but the " STOCK " is in an interesting point. Been putting in triple bottom this year with a Divergent setup on weekly charts.

Stock is above 200 day MA ( bullish )
50 day MA is crossing the 200 day as we speak ( GOLDEN CROSS = bullish )
Currently at price level ( 183 ) testing Resistance levels looking for upside breakout or reversal from prior resistance.

Clearing and holding above the 200 day MA looks like a longer bull leg could be forming after the Breakout to upside. 190 / 200 level is current S-T / L-T resistance levels that need to be cleared to confirm sustained longer move up as I read the chart

@JakerTrade Facing the reality, the Market seems to finally admit it has undervalued Pfizer and pushed its stock price up. I think Pfizer has >20% upward potential compared to its peers.

Good Lord...what parent in their right mind would do this.

There is no way I'd get this shot for young children. Completely unnecessary.
