The safety signal appeared in a huge Food and Drug Administration database; did the Centers for Disease Control know before recommending Covid boosters for kids last month?
(NOTE: I asked the FDA for comment for this article before noon on Thursday. The agency has missed my deadline of noon Friday to respond. mRNA shots are still promoted to children, so the fact they may cause seizures is an urgent public health issue. I have decided to publish the article now, including my questions to the FDA in it. When they respond I will update.)

Young children had a significantly elevated risk of seizures and convulsions after receiving mRNA Covid jabs, Food and Drug Administration scientists have found.
The FDA researchers quietly released the finding, which comes from an analysis of insurance claims databases, earlier this week. The FDA and Centers for Disease Control did not meet a deadline on questions if CDC knew of the finding before it advised kids to receive more mRNA Covid boosters last month.
The FDA did not quantify the risk or severity of the seizures in the paper. But the published data suggest the risk appears to be about 1 in 2,500 completed vaccinations within a week of a shot. Older kids also had increased risk, though it did not hit statistical significance.
The CDC’s push for more mRNA for young kids was already controversial, since most countries no longer make Covid boosters available to children (or most healthy adults). The seizure finding will only increase the scrutiny CDC faces.
The “signal” – as researchers call the finding of elevated seizure risk – occurred in children aged 2-4 who received the Pfizer mRNA Covid shot and 2-5 who received the Moderna jab. (The age difference comes because Pfizer and Moderna offer different regimens of shots with different age limits to young kids.)
The researchers reported 72 seizures and convulsions in children in those age ranges after the first two doses of either Pfizer of Moderna. Most seizures came along with fevers, they wrote.
They found the seizures occurred after mRNA shots from both companies, increasing the odds the finding is a real risk, not a chance artifact.

(In the FDA’s own words: “Seizures/convulsions met the statistical threshold for a signal”)

The data also show a trend towards more seizures in children who received the Moderna shots, which contain more mRNA than the Pfizer jabs. Epidemiologists call that a dose-response relationship, and it is also evidence the finding is real.
In addition, the risk appeared highest in the day after children received the shots and persisted for up to a week, as far as the researchers tracked it. The fact the risk was highest soonest after the shots is still more evidence that the link is real.
Young children sometimes have seizures spontaneously or while running high fevers.
But when the researchers compared the normal background number of seizures with the 72 they saw, they found a difference that was unlikely to be due to chance.
The researchers found another 40 seizures in children under age 2, and 161 more in children and teenagers 5-17, though far more older kids received shots, so the relative risk in them was was lower.
In a similar analysis released in May that did not cover the youngest kids, the researchers found an elevated seizure risk in older children and teenagers, with the risk especially notable in children 5-11. But the risk did not reach statistical significance, meaning it could have been a chance finding.

(My questions to the FDA, asked Thursday before noon. Note that the paper also showed a signal for myo/pericarditis in teenagers, which is already known to be a risk from the mRNAs, thus the third question)

The new analysis was published Sunday as a “preprint,” a non-peer-reviewed paper, or the Medrxiv server. It lacks certain crucial data.
Notably, the researchers did not include either the overall number of jabs or the number of completed vaccinations given to children 2-4 (or 2-5 for Moderna). They also did not include the background rates they used. So calculating either absolute or relative risk ratios with precision is impossible.
However, they did report the total number of jabs given to kids under 5, which was roughly 850,000, including about 140,000 second Moderna jabs and 100,000 third Pfizer jabs. Two Moderna jabs and three Pfizer shots are required for a complete mRNA regimen in young kids.
Thus the total number of completed vaccinations in all kids under five in the database was about 240,000. Most of those went to kids in the 2-5 range. The 72 seizures thus come off a base of 175,000 to 200,000 completed vaccinations, for a rate of 1 seizure per 2,500 vaccinations.
(Again, if and when FDA or CDC responds to my questions, I will update the article.)

What is the court venue ? Anybody know ? Will this get tossed like so many election whistleblower complaints ? Pfizer paid the largest fine in history , but they also have deep pockets full of ‘ influence .’
I’m not sure where to put this, so I’ll just put this here.
Last night I was in bed, praying. I’m still learning to pray, and I was asking God for proof that He is with me, not only that He exists.
I received the proof this morning. I received a call. My son was in a car accident where he totaled his new car, yet emerged without a scratch. It could have been a multiple car accident, but oddly he crashed so that he missed the four lanes of traffic on 93 where he was merging and only his car was involved. It could have been a disaster for him and others.
I think God and I are beginning to have a conversation.
Thank you, God.
So glad he is ok. That’s scary.
Sometimes you don’t realize God is with you until you look back & evaluate. Hindsight 20/20 & all that jazz.
When my dad was in prison, he felt abandoned by God. But, turns out that God was right there with him through the whole journey setting him up for an amazing life. He just couldn’t see it at the time. Struggle is absolutely 100% necessary for a life well lived.
I’m very willful, so it was hard for me to accept God. I have a post that I may write asking about prayer. It would be a nice alternative and respite from the continual bad news we read. I’d like to hear from others who are more experienced.
Thanks for your insight.
Write the post.
Speaking of God, I’m headed out for leaf peeping today. Amazing weather. Going to soak in His glorious creation. 😍
Have a wonderful day.
AP, I’m with your original gut instinct, I think you just haven’t found it’s explanation. I don’t see your coincidental experience as proof of exterior God, I see proof of the matrix/the simulacrum/this foundationally mathematical construct that automatically mirrors the mathematical constructions called intention with neutral disregard to their positivity or negativity. I see you as having experienced proof of your ability to materialize what you desired to see and/or the evidence to ‘prove’ it true.
It’s far from a disappointment to learn that you are the fully in the driver’s seat, not trapped in a machine being toyed with by some invisible force who refuses to provide you any clearly spelled out operating manual.
But if you don’t do the driving, you are easily steered into doubt and fear by outside forces happy to feast on the lifeforce you mathematically drain yourself of with thoughts of powerlessness.
Beautiful story. Many would say it was just a coincidence. But there are no coincidences once you are on the spiritual path. Talking to God is form of contemplation. While Prayer and meditation give you some of Gods gifts. Contemplation gives you all of Gods gifts. I always start my contemplation with a spiritual reading and a prayer.
AP – I’m glad your son is ok.
‘An Admission of Epic Proportions’: Health Canada Confirms DNA Plasmid Contamination of COVID Vaccines
“One must wonder why Pfizer would not disclose the presence of a biologically functional DNA sequence to a health regulator. Pfizer was required to disclose to health regulatory agencies all of the bioactive sequences in the bacterial plasmid DNA that they used to manufacture their shots.”
