As of May 10, 2021, both the FDA and EMA have authorized the use of Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine in children 12 years old and older. But is this really a safe option for kids?
We will look at what Pfizer’s clinical trials on kids between 12 and 15 years old tell us about the safety of the vaccine, as well as how medical regulators came to their conclusions that the benefits outweigh potential risks.
BREAKING: 86% of children suffered an adverse reaction from the COVID vaccine, according to Pfizer clinical trials.

In an FDA fact sheet, two tables provide information about side effects experienced by those aged 12 to 15 who had at least one dosage of the mRNA “vaccine” (gene therapy). Out of 1,127 children who received the first dose, only 1,097 went on to receive a second dose.
This raises questions over why 30 kids did not receive a second dosage and what kind of reaction they might have had.
Of those 1,127 who got their first dose, 86% reported mild to severe side effects. 78.9% also experienced adverse reactions after receiving their second dose.
These included fever (20.3% after one dose; 39.3% after two doses), fatigue (66% post-second dose) and headache (55.3% post-first dose; 64.5% post-second dose).
Chills were felt by 27.6% after one dose and 41/5% after two doses while vomiting occurred in 2/8% following one shot and 2/6 % following two shots; 8/0 % reported diarrhea post-first shot with 5/9 % experiencing it following their second shot. 0/04 % experienced serious adverse events but no further information was given about these reactions or any other serious conditions which may have developed from taking part in clinical trials with this vaccine.
If we take into account that 3/4 million UK children aged between 12 -15 could potentially be vaccinated then using figures from Pfizer’s study it would mean that 1/600 could experience a very serious adverse reaction including death if only one dosage was administered.
With figures rising up to 5200 if under 12s are also included, these are worrying odds considering that according to some studies risk posed by actually contracting Covid 19 is much lower than this figure would suggest.
Additionally, reports state that all vaccines, including Pfizer’s are still undergoing clinical studies meaning there may be unexpected long term negative effects yet unknown.
So with such conflicting evidence should medical regulators be so sure that benefits outweigh risks ?
