Value of vaccines questioned
The report claims COVID-19 primarily affects the elderly, questions the value of vaccines, and calls on the government to rein in their use.
"[The] task force recommends halting the use of COVID-19 vaccines without full disclosure of their potential risks, ending their use in healthy children and teenagers, conducting further research into their effectiveness, establishing support for vaccine-injured individuals, and providing an opt-out mechanism from federal public health policy," it states.
According to Talbot, the recommendations, if adopted, would take away a parent's right to vaccinate their children as they see fit.
"This is a vaccine that's been given in the billions of doses. It's one of the safest, most effective vaccines we've ever had and yet they're calling into question [its] safety," he said.
The authors point to concerns about the risk of myocarditis in adolescent males and claims there is no long-term safety data for mRNA vaccines in minors.
Dr. Sam Wong, president of the section of pediatrics with the Alberta Medical Association, disagrees with the recommendations. He contends the group cherry-picked its data.
"It's kind of based on bad science and their recommendations are not really what I would consider valid.… If the government follows through on it, then it's bad public health," said Wong.
"The risk of myocarditis … is much higher and much more severe with COVID than than it is with the vaccination."
Manns also refutes numbers in the report.
"The risk of myocarditis is not 50 per cent. It's less than one in a thousand. It generally happens within the first couple doses. It [impacts] younger boys. You have to tailor the vaccinations to the type of individual," he said.
A risk-based approach is already used by the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, said Manns, adding there is solid evidence showing COVID immunizations reduce the risk of severe illness.

Maggot science.
Same BS …repeated. In the meantime, we all, our friends, and our relatives had the vaccine multiple times. And BILLIONS of doses around the world.
BURP.
