Majority of Canadian & Italian Parents, Appropriately Hesitant on Childhood COVID-19 Vaccination
Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH wrote this week:
The peer-reviewed medical literature on COVID-19 is under strong bias from the editors and publishers to allow mainly favorable papers into publication on COVID-19 vaccination. A proxy on medical establishment vaccination sentiment are papers that report fair balanced survey results from either patients or parents of children contemplating COVID-19 vaccination. After two years of relentless promotion from global and country public health authorities, reports of the majority not wanting COVID-19 vaccination for their children should be taken as serious “push back.”
Bianchi et al, conducted a meta-analysis of nine Italian studies spanning November, 2020 to March, 2022. The overall rate of appropriate vaccine hesitancy was 55%. Younger and unvaccinated parents were stronger predictors of protecting their children from vaccination. Belief that the vaccines were either unsafe, ineffective, or not medically necessary were the most common justification for vaccine hesitancy.

After reading Dr McCullough’s very informative article on Italy, it came to my attention that Canada has a similarly low rate of vaccine uptake.
Today the Star Newspaper reported, “COVID-19 vaccine uptake plunges in Canada” so clearly this is a global phenomenon of people justifiably questioning the safety, efficacy and necessity of these products. There has also been confusing and misleading information from health authorities over the past few years, initially stating 2 doses would be needed and now the government and health authority messaging is recommending to get a booster dose every 6 months…forever? The science is also evolving and indicating these products are neither safe nor effective in preventing people from contracting or spreading COVID-19, as authorities initially claimed both. It should be no surprise to health authorities and governments that the majority of the public has lost faith in them and their ever changing recommendations.
