93 medical professionals have signed a letter opposing vaccinating children with the coronavirus vaccine and separating between vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
“We believe there is no room for vaccinating children at this time [due to] caution, modesty, the understanding that ‘haste is from the devil’; the recognition that we do not understand everything about the virus and the vaccine against it; and the first commandment of medicine: ‘First, do not harm,’” they said in a letter to the Health Ministry on Sunday.
The signees include Dr. Amir Shachar, director of the emergency room at Laniado Hospital, Dr. Yoav Yehezkeli, an expert in internal medicine and a lecturer at Tel Aviv University, and Dr. Avi Mizrahi, director of the intensive care unit at Kaplan Hospital.
They explained that putting even a few children at risk of unknown side effects is not worth the protection it will afford them against a disease they say is not dangerous to children.
In their words: "We believe that not even a handful of children should be endangered through mass vaccination against a disease that is not dangerous to them," they wrote. "Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that the vaccine will have long-term adverse effects that have not yet been discovered at this time, including on growth, reproductive system or fertility. Children should be allowed a quick return to routine; the many tests and broad isolation cycles should be stopped, and no separation between the vaccinated and unvaccinated should be created in the public sphere. Vaccination of at-risk populations should be allowed, and under the almost complete vaccination of this population - it is possible to return to full routine (with periodic adjustments) even in the presence of COVID-19 virus."
There still is not a complete picture of all vaccine side effects due to the fact that many people simply don't report it.
"Therefore, we fear that at this point in time, there is under-reporting of side effects. Moreover, a causal link between events - if any - will only emerge in due course, as more and more events of a certain type accumulate. For example, if there is a serious health event that happens to 12 young people a year in Israel (ie - an average of 1 per month), while the vaccine also causes this serious event infrequently, it will take many months until it is clear that there is an increase in the incidence of the event, and that there is a connection between the vaccine and its appearance."
"Do not rush to vaccinate children as long as the full picture is not clear. Coronavirus disease does not endanger children, and the first rule in medicine is 'first do not harm'. The full picture is expected in many months, and possibly years. Moreover, one must wait for such documentation not only from Israeli data but from global data. In this context it is worthy to add that 'black box warnings' - warnings about severe or life-threatening side effects - accumulate months and years after drug approval, due to the fact that severe but rare toxins appear, naturally, only over time."
