Continuing in line with his previous authoritarian bent for pushing coronavirus vaccines on everyone from five-year-old kids to geriatric pensioners, Covid Czar Anthony Fauci has turned his eye toward getting jabs for babies and toddlers.
“Hopefully within a reasonably short period of time, likely the beginning of next year in 2022, in the first quarter of 2022, it will be available to them,” Fauci told Business Insider.
“Can’t guarantee it,” he said, “you’ve got to do the clinical trial.”
Given the penchant that Fauci and other aggressively despotic leftists have shown in their eagerness to push vaccine mandates, the latest development already is causing concern.
Received an e-mail from my pediatrician’s office today.

Babies and toddlers aged as young as 6 months to 5 years could be eligible for COVID-19 vaccination by spring, if Fauci has his way.
According to CNN, Pfizer is the furthest along in trials for those aged 6 months to 5 years, but Moderna is also conducting studies in very young children, reported The Hill.
“We don’t have enough data now to present it for a regulatory approach, but right now, the data are being collected and analyzed,” Fauci said. “So we will be able to answer the question, I believe, within a reasonable period of time regarding the safety and the immunogenicity among those lower than 5 years old.”
The CDC recently approved COVID vaccines for children ages 5-11, even though there has shown to be very little risk of children getting seriously ill or dying from Coronavirus. Parents, however, remain leery about getting their younger kids vaccinated, according to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll.
Only 27% of parents had plans to get their 5- to 11-year-olds vaccinated without waiting for more evidence about the shots effectiveness and any possible side effects.
And with discussions about implementing school vaccine mandates, more than half (53%) of parents are worried their child may be required to get vaccinated for COVID even if they don’t want them to.
