AFLDS claimed that the Covid-19 vaccine itself may potentially be more dangerous than the disease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AFLDS Founder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americasfrontlinedoctors.org\/team\/simonegold\"><strong>Dr. Simone Gold<\/strong><\/a> spoke about the reasons for filing the motion: \u201cWe doctors are pro-vaccine, but this is not a vaccine,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is an experimental biological agent whose harms are well-documented (although suppressed and censored) and growing rapidly, and we will not support using America\u2019s children as guinea pigs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She continued: \u201cWe insist that the EUA not be relinquished prematurely; certainly not before trials are complete \u2013 October 31, 2022 for Moderna and April 27, 2023 for Pfizer. We are shocked at the mere discussion of this, and will not be silent while Americans are used as guinea pigs for a virus with survivability of 99.8% globally and 99.97% under age 70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnder age 20 it is 99.997% \u2013 \u2018statistical zero\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are 104 children age 0-17 who died from COVID-19 and 287 from COVID + Influenza \u2013 out of ~72 million.
