Responding to reports of patients relapsing after completing a five-day course of Paxlovid, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla suggested patients just take more, prompting a rebuke from a U.S. Food and Drug Administration official.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers said they will investigate how often and why coronavirus levels rebound in some patients who complete a five-day course of Pfizer's COVID-19 antiviral pill, Paxlovid.

"It is a priority," Clifford Lane, deputy director for clinical research at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told Bloomberg. It's "a pretty urgent thing for us to get a handle on."

Survey reveals parents' stance on Covid vax for children, 27% said they will "definitely not" vaccinate their children

Around 18% of US parents with children under five years old intend to have them vaccinated "right away" once regulators authorize the use of Covid-19 shots for the age group, a new survey released on Wednesday shows. Children under five remain the only age group still not eligible for vaccination in the US.

The survey was conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), a San Francisco-headquartered non-profit, in April.

Of those surveyed, 27% said they would "definitely not" have their child vaccinated, while another 11% said they would do so only if legally required. Around 38% said they plan to wait and see how the vaccines actually work on children under five before making a decision. More than half of parents said they still do not have enough information on the safety and efficacy of the vaccines for the age group.

Comment: More from CNN:
There were similar findings among parents of older children. For the 5 to 11 age group, 39% of parents said their children were vaccinated, and 32% said their children would definitely not be vaccinated. Among parents of children 12 to 17, 56% said their kids had been vaccinated, and 31% said they definitely will not have their children vaccinated.

A majority of parents who took part in the survey also said they felt that their child was at least somewhat safe from Covid-19 while at school, but the answers varied by race.

More than 80% of parents surveyed said their child was very or somewhat safe in school. However, only a third of Black or Hispanic parents said they felt that their child was very safe, compared with 52% of White parents.Get CNN Health's weekly newsletter

The survey found a "large shift" in school mask requirements, with the percentage of parents who said that their child was required to wear a mask at school falling from 69% in September to 16% in April.

"Parents who are Black or Hispanic are more than twice as likely as White parents to say their child usually wears a mask (70% vs. 26%) and five times as likely to say that most other students at their child's school wear masks (9% vs. 47%)," the report authors wrote.

Do the Pfizer "data dumps" really mean anything?

The latest batch of Pfizer's Covid vaccine files just dropped. 80,000 pages of patient files and "trial data" and so and so on.

You can read them all here.

The question is, do they really tell us anything we don't already know?

The big revelation doing the rounds at the minute is that the vaccines were never trialled with, and were specifically not recommended for, pregnant women.

But is this new information?

When governments started "recommending" the Covid vaccine to pregnant women in the Summer of 2021, everybody who had been paying attention knew that position was not backed up by any data at all.

OffG got temporarily banned from twitter for pointing this out.

More broadly speaking: Of course the vaccines were never tested on pregnant women, they were never properly tested on anybody.

It takes 10 years to safely produce and trial a vaccine, not 18 months. And what "trials" they claim to have done in that year and a half were a complete sham.

In a way, the "not recommended for pregnant women" disclosure is actually good for Pfizer.

O:H header
Welcome to another exciting episode of Objective:Health's In the News, where we take a look at the latest health headlines bouncing around the collective consciousness and give you the O:H take.

On this week's show we talk about the reactions, and overreactions, to the dropping of mask mandates by a number of travel companies in the US. Most people cheered, but a particular breed is demanding the mandates be brought back.

We also discuss the anti-Covid pill currently being promoted by the Biden administration (don't worry; they say they have enough to go around, so you won't miss out!) We also talk about a proposed bill in Rhode Island that would impose fines on the unvaccinated and charge them double in tax!

Join us for all this and more on our latest episode of Objective:Health.

Best of the Web: 3 children die from hepatitis in Indonesia amid 'mysterious' global outbreak

map hepatitis global outbreak
More than 200 children have been sickened by the condition across the world in up to 14 countries since last October *cases in Canada, Japan and Wisconsin, Illinois and New York are still yet to be confirmed
Three children in Indonesia have died from a mysterious hepatitis which, if confirmed, would bring the global death toll to at least four.

The country's health ministry said the victims died from 'suspected acute hepatitis' last month and were all located in the capital of Jakarta.

Their symptoms included nausea, vomiting, heavy diarrhea, fever, jaundice, seizures and loss of consciousness — all tell-tale signs of the deadly liver disease.

Tests are underway to confirm their cause of death. Indonesia has not officially logged any cases of hepatitis since the outbreak began.

The ages of the children have not been revealed and it is not clear if they had underlying health conditions.


Comment: Other reports have stated the ages of the children elsewhere to be below 5 years old, which would technically make them too young to have been subject to the experimental coronavirus jabs. Although it's also notable that this outbreak is occurring now, because adenovirus - used in a number of the jabs - is known to circulate all year, peaking in late winter and early spring, which the northern hemisphere recently entered. In addition, breastfeeding mothers who suffered the jabs, have been known to pass on coronavirus antibodies via their breast milk to their children; and hepatitis is also known to be passed by breast milk (and other bodily fluids); are these the connections we're looking at here or are there other factors not yet identified?

The Bangladesh Mask Study provides no evidence that masks reduce Covid-19 infection

bangladesh study
I have sent the following letter to the Editor of Science (note: I sent my analysis to the lead author of the study - Jason Abaluck - before making the report public and the report contains some changes following communication with him).

Dear Sir/Madam

You recently published the article "Impact of community masking on COVID-19: A cluster-randomized trial in Bangladesh". Science, 375(6577), eabi9069. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abi9069 by Abaluck et al which contained the summary statement:

"A randomized-trial of community-level mask promotion in rural Bangladesh during COVID-19 shows that the intervention tripled mask usage and reduced symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections, demonstrating that promoting community mask-wearing can improve public health."

As explained in the attached report, this statement grossly exaggerates the actual findings of the study and - unsurprisingly - has been widely used by the media to argue that the study provides the most convincing evidence yet of the effectiveness of masks in preventing covid-19 transmission and infection. More worryingly, the article has been cited explicitly to justify continuing or reintroducing aspects of mask mandates in the USA, UK and elsewhere. Because the paper provides no evidence that mask wearing reduces covid transmission or infections, it needs to be corrected or withdrawn.

Yours sincerely

Professor Norman Fenton

What's causing acute pediatric hepatitis?

Moshe Tokayer

Hepatitis
There has been a spate of reports regarding pediatric hepatitis of unknown origin around the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) as of April 21
"Cases have been reported in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the United Kingdom) (114), Spain (13), Israel (12), the United States of America (9), Denmark (6), Ireland (<5), The Netherlands (4), Italy (4), Norway (2), France (2), Romania (1), and Belgium (1). . . .

"The common viruses that cause acute viral hepatitis (hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D and E) have not been detected in any of these cases."

Comment: The fact that hepatitis is being found in clusters located in specific regions is very strange indeed. One would expect that if this was caused solely by vaccine shedding or mask wearing, the occurrence of this disease would be homogeneously distributed throughout the entire population of countries who enforced masks and implemented mass-vaccination campaigns.

Yet that is not what we are seeing. Rather, distinct outbreaks are occurring in clusters. This suggests that some other unknown causative factor is involved.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today released new data showing a total of 1,247,131 reports of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccines were submitted between Dec. 14, 2020, and April 22, 2022, to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.

The data included a total of 27,532 reports of deaths — an increase of 183 over the previous week — and 224,766 serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 1,930 compared with the previous week.

Two studies on adverse cardiac events in young people following vaccination: which is more credible?

Two recent studies on cardiac events in young people following vaccination - one in Israel and one in the UK - have come to very different conclusions.

This one based on Israel's National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) dataset from 2019 to 2021 showed that there was a 25% increase in volume of cardiac arrest and acute coronary syndrome emergency calls in 16-39-year-olds between Jan-May 2021 compared to the 2019-2020 baseline. This increase was significantly associated with the rates of 1st and 2nd vaccine doses administered to this age group but were not with COVID-19 infection rates.

In contrast, a preprint - whose main authors are the people at the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the UK responsible for producing the monthly vaccine mortality surveillance reports - came to a very different conclusion about the effect of the vaccine on young people. This preprint focused on cardiac and all-cause deaths of individuals aged 12-29 occurring within 12 weeks of vaccination or testing positive for COVID-19. They concluded that there is no evidence of an association between COVID-19 vaccination and an increased risk of death in young people, but that COVID-19 infection was associated with substantially higher risk of cardiac related death and all-cause death.

Pfizer seeks FDA emergency use approval on booster jabs for kids 5-11 years old

COVID booster jabs for the nation's youngest citizens could soon be forthcoming after pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and BioNTech formally asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve an emergency use authorization for the extra vaccine doses for children from 5 to 11 years old.

On Tuesday, the companies announced that an application has been filed with the agency which is tasked with ensuring the safety and efficacy of drugs, citing the results of clinical trial data that showed that the additional shot increased protection against the virus in children of the age group.

According to a press release put out by the companies, "Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX) today submitted an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of a 10-µg booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for children 5 through 11 years of age (also referred to as children ages 5 through <12)."

Comment: As is suggested above, the request is likely nothing more than a formality. The FDA will approve the shots as fast as Pfizer can make them, despite the fact that it's been found that the Pfizer vaccine is significantly less effective in kids 5-11.
