READ ALL ABOUT IT: From the YCMTSU files: FDA approves Pfizer's RSV vaccine that causes 20% higher rates of premature birth

From here:

FDA Shrugs Off Concerns About Premature Births, Approves Pfizer RSV Vaccine for Pregnant Women • Children's Health Defense (childrenshealthdefense.org)

CHD provides its usual in-depth coverage and analysis of the issue.

Here is the FDA’s rubber-stamping (to collect more royalties?)

FDA Approves First Vaccine for Pregnant Individuals to Prevent RSV in Infants | FDA

And here’s the CDC’s current RSV advice

From a tweet embedded in the CHD article:

‘Nauseating’

FDA VRBPAC Recommends Pfizer’s RSV Vaccine for Pregnant Women Despite Premature Birth Signals + Antigen Interference

Ten advisors voted yes, and four advisors voted no.

Chair of the Committee Dr. El-Sahly voted no and advocated for research into “vaccines that don’t interfere with other antigens, and, potentially, should this signal [premature births] be true, safer vaccines.”

Dr. Paul Offit also voted no. “I do think a lot’s at stake,” he expressed. “If you’re in any sense risking premature births with this vaccine, I think there will be a big price to pay.”

How big a problem is RSV? Well, I addition to the points made in the CHD article, we have this:

RSV responsible for 1 in 50 child deaths under age 5, study estimates | CNN

One in 50 child deaths in the under 5’s.

“.. in high-income countries, 1 in 56 babies who are born on time and are healthy will be hospitalized with RSV in the first year of life, according to the researchers’ estimates.”

And some related content:

Transmission and Timeline of RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) (medicalnewstoday.com)

From here:

Infant Mortality | Maternal and Infant Health | Reproductive Health | CDC

“Almost 20,000 infants died in the United States in 2020. The five leading causes of infant death in 2020 were:

1. Birth defects.

2. Preterm birth and low birth weight.

3. Sudden infant death syndrome.

4. Injuries (e.g., suffocation).

5. Maternal pregnancy complications.

20,000 infants (<1 year old) deaths every year in the US, of which 2% - 400 – succumb to RSV.

I estimate that there are around 2.5 million under one year olds in the US.

400 out of 2.5 million = fatality rate of 0.016% per annum.

Inject 2.5 million to prevent 400 deaths, maybe, and increase premature births by 20%!

Cost?

“Abrysvo prices Intramuscular Injection preservative-free 60 mcg-60 mcgAbrysvo intramuscular injection from $320.14for 1 injection”

2.5 million times 320 bucks = a year 600 million bucks a year, plus however many RSV shots you can inject in babies that have “slipped through the net”.

Present value at 5% - multiply by 20 = 16 billion dollars. Nice money for causing extra harm for no measurable benefit!

Out of interest, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome deaths from here: Data and Statistics for SIDS and SUID | CDC.

“Each year, there are about 3,400 sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID) in the United States. These deaths occur among infants less than 1 year old and have no immediately obvious cause.”

RSV is not necessarily involved with SIDS?

Moving on, this comment from Pfizer just takes your breath away:

“It also reported that Pfizer’s VP of Vaccine Research and Development Alejandra Gurtman said the difference in premature birth rates was “not statistically significant.”

Gurtman noted that most premature births occurred 30 days after vaccination, which she said means “a very close causal relationship between the vaccine and preterm birth couldn’t be identified.”

“We couldn’t find any reason why this really happened,” G

Uh huh. Pfizer has no clue as to wtf is going on, but “it just knows” the introduction of an injection could not possibly have had anything to do with it.

I hope everyone keeps an eye on tables like this from here:

NCHS Data Brief, Number 427, December 2021 (cdc.gov)

Plus, of course, any increase in the death rates of pregnant mothers.

Here is a list of what pregnant mothers are told to avoid:

What to Avoid During Pregnancy: A Comprehensive Guide (verywellfamily.com)

What to Avoid During Pregnancy

• Alcohol

• Fish high in mercury

• Unpasteurized foods

• Raw seafood and eggs

• Raw sprouts

• Prescription acne medications

• NSAID pain relievers

• Botox and chemical peels

• High heat beauty treatments

• Injury-prone sports like skiing and horseback riding

• Hot yoga

• Smoking and recreational drugs

• Hot tubs

Funny, I don’t see any advice about vaccinations given health conditions of pregnant women – does this mean that all vaccines and injections are safe for ALL pregnant women? Hardly – health care is not always “one size fits all”!!

Then there is the post-marketing authorization reporting – you remember, the same protocol tat was ignored for the Pfizer/BioNTech C19 mRNA injection with 1,223 deaths in a few months

“The company said it will continue to examine risks in a post-marketing vaccine study, and as part of that, it will create a registry for adverse event reporting.”

Which was qualified by this comment earlier on in the CHD article in another embedded tweet:

(16) Tracy Høeg, MD, PhD on X: "Four VRBPAC members voted against recommending it due to safety concerns (including @DrPaulOffit &amp; my favorite Hana El Sahly) It will be extremely difficult if not impossible to determine if this signal is real with post marketing surveillance/studies in the US" / X (twitter.com)

“It will be extremely difficult if not impossible to determine if this signal is real with post marketing surveillance/studies in the US.”

The [process for authorizing treatments with dubious clinical trials signalling questionable benefits for clearly signalled harms just keeps on going.

Onwards!
