RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Jair Bolsonaro’s warnings are having an impact: less than 20% of Brazilian children have been vaccinated against Covid-19 so far.

A survey conducted by Globonews shows that in most Brazilian states, even less than 15% of children in this age group have been sent for vaccination by their parents so far.

Despite significant concerns expressed by many scientists, the vaccination for children between 5 and 11 years of age was endorsed by the National Health Authority (Anvisa) on December 16, when its technicians approved the vaccine developed by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer for this age group.

(Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA vaccine technology used in Pfizer and Moderna covid injections)

U.S. VAERS data from December 14, 2020, to December 10, 2021, for children aged 5 to 11 years show:

  • 4,181 adverse events, including 80 rated as severe and 2 reported deaths. One death occurred in an 11-year-old Georgia girl vaccinated on September 14 before Pfizer’s COVID vaccine licensure in the 5- to 11-year age group.
  • The second death (VAERS ID 1890705) occurred in a 5-year-old girl who died four days after her first Pfizer injection.

Here an example of one of these 4,181 adverse events: A six-year-old US boy contracted myocarditis and suffered serious injuries after receiving Pfizer’s experimental mRNA injection.

The controversial and unilateral decision of Anvisa against the express wishes of the President and the strong reluctance of the Ministry of Health had led Bolsonaro to demand the disclosure of the names of the officials, who approved the application of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine in children aged five to 11 years.

One of the most prominent opponents of applying mRNA Covid vaccines on children is none other than the original “inventor” of exactly these mRNA and DNA vaccines that this debate is about, Dr. Robert Malone (see video above).

NOT WITH MY CHILD

Only 18.8% of children aged 5 to 11 years in Brazil have received the first dose of vaccination against Covid-19 so far, by today, Monday (7). The survey was conducted by Globonews based on information from state health departments.

PR campaigns in favor of child vaccination in Brazil’s mainstream media have had no effect. Most Brazilian states have injected less than 15% of children with the experimental treatments. The states of Paraíba (1.8%), Pará (1.9%), and Mato Grosso (2.0%) have had the fewest children vaccinated.

On the other hand, the states that have vaccinated the most children in this age group so far are São Paulo (48.0%), the Federal District (30%), and Rio Grande do Norte (22.6%).

Six states have not yet responded to the report. These are: Alagoas, Sergipe, Acre, Rondônia, Amapá and Tocantins.

WARNING FROM THE PRESIDENT

In one of his broadcasts at the beginning of the year 2022, the president reinforced the possibility of adverse effects with the application of the immunizer in this age group, and said that vaccination will not be mandatory. He also stated that no mayor or governor will be able to prevent the enrollment of children in schools for lack of immunization.

“What we have achieved is that it will be obligatory to tell parents that their child may immediately have certain symptoms such as pain, fever, fatigue, chills,” he said. “It’s very important here, that, the parent or guardian be told to see a doctor.”

“If your child feels chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations, seek medical attention immediately,” he said.

The president again said that he would not vaccinate his daughter, who is 11 years old. “If you want to follow my example, that’s your right,” he said, speaking to mothers and fathers.

Earlier, the president said he is unaware of the occurrence of deaths of children infected by Covid-19. Bolsonaro is against the vaccination of children from 5 to 11 years old. He advocates that immunizers be applied only with a doctor’s prescription, but this will not be necessary.
