The oral rotavirus vaccines use live attenuated (weakened) strains that do not match the wild type strains. Rotarix contains a single live attenuated human rotavirus strain that was isolated from a natural human infection, then further passaged (grown repeatedly) in a continuous cell line derived from African green monkey kidney cells to weaken it, making it less virulent while retaining the ability to induce immunity. RotaTeq contains five live human-bovine reassortant strains created by mixing genes for human and cow rotaviruses in a lab.

Since these products are administered orally, they do cross the gut epithelium as a natural exposure to the wild virus would. This creates mucosal immunity that does not perfectly protect against the wild strain, so break through infections do occur, albeit the symptoms will usually be milder, but not always. The vaccines do contain replication competent strains, meaning the vaccinated child will shed into their stools. Therefore, transmission of vaccine-strain rotavirus to other (unvaccinated or vaccinated) children is possible through fecal-oral contact, such as via contaminated hands, diapers, toys, or surfaces — the same way wild rotavirus spreads.

There is no doubt the imperfect mucosal immunity provided by these oral products has dramatically reduced severe rotavirus disease and hospitalizations worldwide. However, it’s important to know that exposure to the wild strain in an unvaccinated child in America with access to supportive care is not a death sentence. Parents should know these natural exposures are easily managed without subjecting children to vaccine adverse reactions and unavoidable DNA contamination from the bovine and Vero cell lines used to make the products.

I’d argue that without the vaccine, we will actually see less hospitalizations and MORE healthier children.

Vaccines cause harm with no benefit. This has been confirmed in a plethora of cases, hence why people state all vaccines should be removed:

Re underdeveloped countries and poor populations.

"Safety appears acceptable, with no clear evidence of serious harm."

Is there any version of VAERS in countries like Africa? Is there research on the longer term health impacts of vaccinated vs unvaccinated children?

Clean water and less sugar/ processed foods for poor kids would likely do more good than vaccines, plus have many upsides.

The point here is that vaccine research is too focused on limited data and narrow questions.

Seems like there's some mixed messages... but definitely seems to support HHS' new position to approach some vaccines - with local doctor/patient consultation on a case by case basis.

"Pooled risk ratio for SAEs was close to 0.9, meaning vaccinated children were slightly less likely to experience serious events of any cause.

This finding is reassuring but should be tempered by awareness that 56 of 60 trials were fully or partially industry-funded, warranting scrutiny of selective reporting bias."

{What are the serious events? "Slightly" less - I assume that encompasses stats from poor, malnourished nations... to me, that means healthy children likely suffer more from the jabs, than any benefit they might get.}

A continuous nightmare; "...56 of 60 trials were fully or partially industry-funded," Should we believe any of the results?

Good to see recognition that malnutrition is a leading metric in the severity of the disease,.. not whether child immunity is or isn't sufficient enough.

Why isn't this statement defined? ;

"meaning vaccinated children were 'slightly less' likely to experience serious events of any cause."

A zillion reasons to slow down and halt vaccines - that don't have clean studies. Nutrition is the key apparently. Why do we let pharma profit, when the real problem is nutrition?

Very good first step(s) for HHS and the health of our children.

THERE WAS NO PANDEMIC...this is a fact. A "vaccine" that kills virus is a lie and a murder weapon of the elites.

Now proven with the hard ALL CAUSE MORTALITY data that cannot manipulated by Denis Rancourt

It has been relatively a recent finding that the 'common cold' was caused by roto virus. It's been only a few decades. Before this was known, the 'common cold' infected everyone, and depending upon how you treated yourself, or not, often determined the outcome. Generally, as the majority of the population was exposed (>75%) herd immunity took hold, healthy immune systems responded, that strain became less of a threat, and similar future strains often had a harder time infecting those with immunity. The number of deaths as a direct effect of the virus very likely was due to poor care, dehydration, uncontrolled diarrhea, etc. With the introduction of these vaccines, perhaps some effect has been observed. However, the entire spectrum of herd immunity, which hitherto was the primary defense for the population, has now been interrupted, modulated, and impacted; more likely than not, in a negative way. In short, we did not do a good job of providing public health for our population by mass mandated vaccinations. We've muddied the waters, weakened inherent individual immune systems, and created chaos and confusion among the people. There was a time in the not too distant past, when Medical students in Medical Pharmacology classes, were taught "Do not throw drugs at symptoms. Identify the primary lesions (cause) and treat that". Beginning in the 70's and 80's and since, big drug companies (Pharma) captured the AMA, the Medical schools, the health institutions and hospitals and insurance companies and governmental agencies to effectively change the teachings of Med students which now is: "Prescribe drugs for symptoms; there is a drug for every ailment". Very wrong headed. To be clear, this is a fool's paradise. Drugs (literally all of them) are well known to be effective agents short term, and over time become less and less effective. Resistance builds up. the body adapts. To continue thinking that health can be achieved through drugs and only drugs, given what the actual science and research shows, is irresponsible and reckless and in the hands of governments and corporations, criminal.

"Malnutrition, gut inflammation, environmental toxins, and schedule interactions with other vaccines (notably DTP or oral polio) likely blunt immune response."

So, combination shots compete and can "blunt immune response". Sounds like the safety trials that compare the new vax formulations to their old formulations "to prove efficacy" - VS double blind placebo studies.....

VACCINES don't matter any more. War is on the horizon. Now the question is can ANYONE survive the coming holocaust?:

The time-traveled copy of Alfred’s paperback Book “Exopolitics” was witnessed in 1971 at DARPA-CIA time travel Headquarters by U.S. Chrononaut Andrew D. Basiago, JD, M. Phil [CANTAB], a fact whistleblower Basiago announced publicly in 2005.

“In The Future, Will The United States Of America Break Up Into Many Regions?” A Public Inquiry,” tracks how this Top Secret DARPA-CIA time travel leak given to Alfred in 1977 that the United States would break up into many regions may be manifesting, including:

“The Chronogarchy” – Analysis, Whistleblower & Inside Information on how the Chronogarchy is promoting the breaking apart of America. The Chronogarchy is an interdimensional hidden power structure monitoring the time-space of Earth as its domain of influence, operating as a secret government using quantum access Time Travel technologies to carry out its operations and mandates. Even going back to the late 19th century novels by Ingersoll Lockwood, such as “1900 or The Last President”.

Social & Political Polarization and Color Revolutions – How the dynamics of “Red” vs “Blue” vs. “Purple” states may accelerate the process of balkanization of the constitutional arrangement of States, such as the 2022 adoption by the Texas State Republican Party of a plank calling for the secession of Texas from the United States, and a recent poll showing that a plurality of Trump voters in Trump leaning states favor secession from the United States of America – “About 33% of Trump voters in so-called red states say they’d personally fare better if their state ‘became an independent country.”

From Dr. Jessica Rose:

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)

A DDoS attack is basically digitally swarming a site so that no real traffic can get through to it; that digital flash mob of woke morons blocking the entrance to the nightclub of knowledge so nobody important can get in. With these kind of attacks, there is no stealing of data required, and no viruses actually get on your computer. But nonetheless, they are highly effective as massive digital traffic jams.

We’ve now witnessed this happen to the journal Oncotarget, and now it is happening to the Brownstone Institute website. These are focused and targeted attacks on specific sites with the goal of bottlenecking the entryway to information in published articles, to prevent particular information from being accessible to users.

Now what kind of articles would instigate this kind of targeted attack, you ask? How about one co-written by the Associate Dean for Oncologic Sciences at the Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, who is also the Director of the Cancer Center at Brown University, and the Director of the Joint Program in Cancer Biology at Brown University and its affiliated hospitals, who was also the deputy director of Translational Research at Fox Chase Cancer Center, where he was also co-Leader of the Molecular

i avoid bloviated propaganda.. although the left is trying their hardest to start another BLM event. If you believe in a higher power. lean on that, imo. If you don't, your glass half full pov, isn't surprising.
