Kids
Acknowledgement and support for the injured young holds a special place for all of us. After rolling up their sleeves and doing what they were asked, they’re now ill with life-altering injuries with nowhere to turn and no one to help.
COVID and Kids: Is my child at risk? – Natural Immunity – Risk vs. Benefit – Stories – Science
COVID and Kids: Is My Child At Risk?
On October 20, 2022, the Center for Disease Control claimed the benefits outweigh the risks and voted YES to approve to add the COVID-19 vaccines to the children’s immunization schedule.
No pharmaceutical product is 100% safe. There are risks with all drugs and vaccines. The important point to note is that if your child is harmed by the COVID vaccine there is no support for your child. The drug companies are not liable, the government is not liable if something goes wrong.
What is the risk-benefit profile for these vaccines? We break this down below.
1. Natural Immunity
The CDC has recognized that natural immunity is a valid way of protection against COVID-19.
“Natural immunity is acquired from exposure to the disease organism through infection with the actual disease… Either way, if an immune person comes into contact with that disease in the future, their immune system will recognize it and immediately produce the antibodies needed to fight it. Active immunity is long-lasting, and sometimes life-long.“

86.3% of kids in the U.S. have already had COVID-19
What is a responsible approach to help the remaining 13% achieve immunity?
2. Risk vs. Benefit

Upon further analysis, we believe the total child deaths reported in VAERS to be up to 400+. Further explanation can be found at bottom of the page.
While over 86% of the child population in the U.S. now have natural immunity, only 16-29% have been vaccinated. Yet COVID mortality for this age group remains statistically at 0.00%. Source: FAIR Health White Paper: Johns Hopkins University & West Health Institute
What is the true need for a COVID vaccine for a population already immune, in the face of known and unknown harms of COVID vaccination?
3. What Happens if My Child is Harmed?
The U.S. government insists there are many programs set in place to identify and help those who are harmed after COVID vaccination, i.e., VAERS, CICP. However, these programs are broken. VAERS is not identifying safety signals, nor has a single COVID vaccine-injured person received financial support through any federal compensation program. In addition, medical teams have not been educated on these reactions.
If your child is harmed YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

4. What Does the Science Say?
Sufficient clinical trials have not been conducted. The FDA made an unprecedented move to authorize the most recent bivalent booster based on a study of mice, zero humans. Source: NPR
React19’s stance is that the public must be made aware of the potential risks to their child so they can make an informed decision.

400+ Child Death Reports in VAERS?
As discussed, 32 children aged 0-17 died from COVID-19 in 2022. Source: CDC data tracker. According to the CDC VAERS system, 167 children aged 0-17 died from the COVID-19 vaccine. Upon further analysis, we believe the child deaths reported in VAERS may be upwards of 400+. A large quantity of VAERS reports, including death reports, do not have an age range designated. Unspecified death reports reviewed have identified hundreds of adolescent deaths that are not included in the automatic search for age. Find examples below. Additional reports can be found on the VAERS website, or for easier search via the National Vaccine Information Center at medalerts.org, or via the VAERS dashboard. Analysis to identify additional reports done by Albert Benavides.
