Like clockwork, Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam has followed Anthony Fauci’s lead and now says that babies and toddlers could be vaccinated as soon as early 2022.
“Children do have a robust immune system, and I expect that they will mount a good immune response to the vaccine as well,” Tam said in an interview with the CBC.
“And for their parents as well, it’s sort of offering them some further hope.”
This new, shifted goalpost comes only one week after Health Canada approved the Pfizer vaccine for children aged five to 11, who have a similarly negligible risk as those in the five and under category.
According to the CBC, Tam says she expects the government and pharmaceutical companies to get their hands on children aged two to five first before shifting the goalpost once again and targeting infants.
“Which means for the youngest age group, the most likely timeline is optimistically at the beginning of next year,” Tam continued.
She also mentioned that she expects that the vaccine will give not only an extra layer of protection for children (who do not need one when it comes to COVID-19) but also parents, suggesting that some parents are or should be fearful of the risk posed being in contact with their own kids.
On the other hand, as The Counter Signal reported earlier this week, COVID-19 has only caused six deaths out of the more than 6 million children under 15 in Canada, leading the Public Health Agency to concede that it will be an upward battle convincing parents to jab their children with unnecessary, experimental mRNA technology.
