American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is the organization followed by Dr. Bose Ravenel of NCPFF.
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is the organization followed by Dr. Colleen Ann Powers mentioned in the lawsuit before the Rhode Island Supreme Court.
“Powers said her sources of information were the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which recommends virtually every person aged 6 months or older get vaccinated against COVID-19, and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), an organization whose guidance mirrors the CDC’s.”
From the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds).
“The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is a national organization of pediatricians and health professionals committed to medical practices that are Best for Children. ACPeds promotes the health and well-being of the child from the moment of conception to young adulthood by first, doing no harm, and then by medical actions that benefit the child. Benefits and burdens of medical actions must be viewed with regards to both individuals and to the communities in which they live. In this light, ACPeds promotes the practice of vaccination that protects a child directly from serious disease and that protects a child’s community.
At this time, the benefits of vaccinating children against COVID-19 are limited since their infections are mostly mild or asymptomatic, with benefits of vaccines increasing with age. There are no long-term safety data, while autoimmune sequelae are a real possibility and myocarditis is a known complication. Therefore, ACPeds believes that parents should be allowed to choose whether or not to use the current COVID vaccines for their children.
Parents and physicians may conscientiously choose to vaccinate a child in their care after judging relative risks and benefits, but they should not be forced to do so. Some parents may object on moral grounds because abortion-dependent technology was used in the development of the current vaccines. Other parents may be concerned about the unknown risks of harmful side effects from the vaccine. ACPeds, therefore, objects to mandates for COVID-19 vaccination of children and adolescents at this time. Promoting the best for children requires the courage to follow the evidence of what we do know and the humility to recognize how much we do not yet know.”
About the American College of Pediatricians
The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is a national medical association of licensed physicians and healthcare professionals who specialize in the care of infants, children, and adolescents. It was founded by a group of concerned physicians who saw the need for a pediatric organization that would not be influenced by the politically driven pronouncements of the day. The mission of the ACPeds is to enable all children to reach their optimal physical and emotional health and well-being. The ACPeds is committed to fulfilling its mission by producing sound policy, based upon the best available research, to assist parents and to influence society in the endeavor of childrearing.”

From NCPFF, NC Physicians For Freedom.
“Children are much more likely to be harmed than helped by the vaccine. Children are 6 times more likely to be hospitalized for myocarditis from the COVID vaccine than from COVID infection.
The position of the NC Physician’s for Freedom (NCPFF) is that any COVID-19 vaccine mandate for children is unnecessary and unethical. In this Position Statement we will explain that children do not need the Covid vaccine and that giving the Covid vaccine to children will not slow the spread. However, administering these vaccines to children does carry significant potential health risks.
Children do not need the vaccine:
Survival rate: Children have a 99.997 percent survival rate from COVID-19. [1] For most children, COVID-19 is little more than a mild cold. Nearly 70% of the 94 total children that have died from Covid had a significant preexisting condition. [2] The survival rate for a child between the ages of 5-11 without any significant preexisting condition is nearly 100%. Given the availability of preventive measures such as Vitamin D and early treatment, no child needs to die from this virus. This is demonstrated in Pfizer’s own data that demonstrated zero children from either group (vaccinated vs. unvaccinated) developed severe COVID, were hospitalized, or died.[3]
Natural immunity: It is estimated that 42% of children have already had Covid and have natural immunity (and this is only the reported positive cases). The CDC itself notes that cases in children are less likely to be reported than those in adults.[4]
As the data on natural immunity emerges, it is becoming abundantly clear that natural immunity is more robust and protective than the vaccine. For example, the research out of Israel indicates that natural immunity is 13 times more protective than the vaccine for hospitalization and death. [5]It is also important to note that children with natural immunity were purposefully excluded from the vaccine trial. This is particularly important since there is growing evidence that those with natural immunity have a higher chance of side effects / reactions from the vaccine. [6]
Administering the COVID-19 vaccine to children will not slow the spread:
Evidence suggests that children are less likely to spread Covid. While data varies from country to country, opening schools did not show an increase in cases of Covid.[7]
The vaccine does not prevent people from contracting and spreading Covid. In fact, there is some evidence that people who have had the vaccine actually have a higher viral load than those with normal infections.[8]
The risk of vaccinating children far outweighs the benefits:
Children are much more likely to be harmed than helped by the vaccine. The highest short-term risk is myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle). Children are 6 times more likely to be hospitalized for myocarditis from the COVID vaccine than from COVID infection. [9]
The FDA projects 109 excess myocarditis (heart inflammation) cases per 1 million kids vaccinated (ages 12 to 17).[10] If we vaccinate all eligible children, would cause 3,000 myocarditis cases in children. In adults, myocarditis carries a 20% fatality rate within 2 years, 50% within 10 years. We do not know what the 2- and 5-year fatality rate will be for kids after myocarditis, but long-term disability is likely.”
“Conclusion:
At this point, it should be clear that administering COVID vaccines to children is not scientifically reasonable. Giving a child a vaccine for a disease that has a near 100% survival rate, when there are known short term complications and potential long-term complications, is not following good science or sound public health practice. Vaccine mandates of any kind are not in the best interest of our children.”
