Did your kids get the COVID shot?

Very good reason, I use that one all the time as my justification for doing stuff.

So you are admitting that the young aren't at risk for Covid. Agreed.

No. And though they are propagandists, people should reach the American Academy of Pediatrics weekly reports on kid vax, especially the totally unnecessary baby - toddler (0-4) shots...

The national vax rate ticked up to 6.7% (six point seven) so Pfizer pimps trying to paint this as "political" opposition...

Also, Q: where in western or northern Europe can one get baby-toddler vax? A: nowhere, because zero efficacy, zero profit motive in socialized medicine.

Phuck no. Both have had Covid and have durable immunity.

I believe the proper terminology is "BILLIONS (almost trillions)"

In Queens, NY we need to be vaxxed for just about everything. My HS age kids had to be vaxxed to participate in sports, to go to restaurants, theatre and other venues.

Fortunately, they eat well, exercise, sleep well and are otherwise healthy.

Why would you tolerate that? You know also NYC vax rate kids 5-12 is 50%? That # will be decreasing too as more non-rona vax kids turn 5...

Which is great-- they are at zero risk except to Democratic authoritarianism & Pfizer - Moderna profits. "Mandates" were always unthethical but that they continue in even vestigial form shows how utterly corrupt and anti-science NYC is.

Fraud "liberals" (sic) claim to care about kids, education, "carceral reform" but are cool voting for scum who BAN KIDS from sports, music, dance and other school activities?

About 20% of teens are 'rona unvax too -- though who cares if they even stay in school, right?

I do not have children, but I will state my opinion.

The typical seasonal flu is more dangerous to children than Covid-19. Why would a parent put an mRNA "vaccine" into their child's body when the virus is practically no threat to people under age 18 ?

I questioned that too, but looked it up and Rojo's probably right.

I was thinking in terms of Murika.

Ummm. That describes exactly nobody in Queens.

I was just pointing out you were using completely fabricated assertions about death rates to make your point.

You’re entitled to make your own decisions about the risks of COVID to your kids.

Its pretty clear the risks of COVID extend beyond death and far far outweigh the risks of the vaccine in children. Even cutting the length of illness in half would get a kid 2-4 extra days in school - it’s not all death.

Fabrication? You obviously don't have or know young children.

What would cutting illness in half mean? They had sniffles for 3 hours instead of 6? And that's the high end. Most children are-- hello!-- asymptomatic and there are almost zero instances of kids getting "sick" worse with Baaa Baaa variants than the everyday litany of kids colds.

Your hysterical and non-fact-based fear mongering is repulsive and its echo effects are far more risk to children than big bad 'rona.

Yes, and boosted. There are a half dozen vaccines required for school and I don't see why I should balk at this one just because it's not required.

His original post stated that Africa, South America and India did not see “mass deaths” despite low vaccinations.
This was the complete fabrication as many of the countries in those regions see higher excess deaths than the US.

It helps to actually read a discussion before jumping in just randomly yell and calm people names like a 6 year old. People will take you more seriously.

Yes, two kids. Both have also had covid. No side effects. I don't support mandates, personally, but quicker recovery times and lower severe complications risk (albeit vs. an already low baseline risk) make it worth it in our view.

FWIW, our son, who was vaccinated when he got covid, was sick for about 12 hours with a fever of 100.0. My unvaxxed daughter was sick for several days with a fever of 104 at her highest. Can't prove it either way, but seems like the vax reduced the severity for my son.

The children I know who were not vaxxed recover from covid in less than a day.

You have no proof whatsoever of your assertions that the vaccination reduces severity.

Furthermore, when your son who was vaccinated discovers he can't father children, he should hold you accountable. You're a terrible parent.
