Increased Risk of Seizures in Toddlers and Young Children After COVID-19 Vaccination

Recent research conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revealed a significant increase in the risk of seizures among toddlers and young children following the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. According to the study, children aged 2-5 years experienced a 2.5-fold rise in febrile seizures within 24 hours of receiving the Moderna vaccine compared to the same group of children between eight to 63 days post-vaccination. The study also documented 88 cases of febrile seizures after the Pfizer vaccination among the participants.

The FDA report emphasized the following key points:

In this self-controlled case series involving participants aged 2-5 years from three commercial insurance databases, the incidence rate ratio of febrile seizures was significantly elevated in the 0-1 days following mRNA-1273 administration. While the absolute risk was small, the incidence of febrile seizures was heightened immediately after the monovalent mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine was administered to children aged 2-5 years. Despite these findings, the safety profile of monovalent mRNA vaccines remains favorable for use in young children.

These findings have prompted additional concerns regarding the safety of various COVID-19 vaccines, which have been promoted by the medical community as both “safe and effective.”

Routine Inclusion of COVID-19 Vaccine in Immunization Schedule

Last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) added the COVID-19 vaccine to the routine immunization schedule for children and adolescents, thereby exposing millions of young individuals to the vaccine. Despite the lesser threat posed by COVID-19 to young people as compared to older populations, the vaccination campaign has been aggressively promoted.

Unlike most traditional vaccines, the COVID-19 shots did not effectively prevent the transmission of the virus, allowing it to continue its spread even among vaccinated individuals. While pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna vouched for the efficacy of their vaccines in preventing severe illness, the reality proved to be different.

Furthermore, various governments, including the Biden administration, seized upon the vaccination drive as an opportunity to enforce vaccination mandates, leading to repercussions for those who chose not to comply. This coercive approach extended to the exclusion of unvaccinated individuals from public sector jobs and social activities.

COVID-19 Severity Downgraded, Vaccination Encouraged

Despite the recent declassification of COVID-19 to the same level as the flu by the CDC, which called for a unified approach to managing such conditions, the public health authority continues to advocate for widespread vaccination and booster shots. The focus remains on preventing serious illness, hospitalization, and fatalities linked to COVID-19.
