COVID Vaccines for Teens

You could make similar arguments about many vaccines. I mean, who dies of chicken pox? What percent of people are saved by the HPV shot?

And of course you're all: "OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!"

but

"DONT DO ANYTHING TO HELP OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!!"

amusing how you antivaxxers think.

They are not able to think. That's the problem.

We can go into school without the vax because no teen dies from COVID. Sweden did it right. Wanna be safe? Lock yourself in a bedroom for the rest of your life.

The governkent is forcing kids and young adults to get a vaccine for something which has next to no chance to kill them. The vaccine is more deadly than the virus for people under 40. The plethora of booster shots just gives away the scam but the sheep continue to be blind. Disturbing.

Some pretty big pro-vaxxers have serious reservations about teen vaccinations.

Vaccinating kids for this is absolutely unnecessary. Every teacher that wanted to be vaccinated at this point has had access to a vaccine. Every grandparent that wanted to be vaccinated at this point has had access to a vaccine. Every sick fattie that wanted to be vaccinated at this point has had access to a vaccine. If the vaccines work, then there is no need to vaccinate the kids. The death rate for those under 25 and the hospitalization rate for those under 25 are almost unchanged from previous years. This is not a risk to kids, and their teachers, coaches, parents and grandparents are free to get a vaccine, wear a mask, etc. if that is their choosing. Vaccines have been offered to the vulnerable populations and are readily available for all who want them, masks are effective and there is an excess of supply (places like Walmart are discounting masks in order to get rid of their over supply of masks), and hand sanitizer is available in every store. Stop asking others to incur medical treatments in order to appease your sense of security.

Pull up deaths by age on the dashboard

Kids under 18 make up 22.3% of the population, but make up 1.6% of COVID related hospitalizations and 0.04% of COVID related deaths. Hospitalizations and deaths for those under 18 are comparable to a typical flu season.

No we in Sweden didn’t do it right, our death rate is higher than their neighbors - Norway, Denmark.

My teenage nephew got covid at school, brought it home and now my heavily pregnant sister has covid as does my infant niece who has Down syndrome.

Brazil and India also left things open - did they do it right too?

It is not just about the safety of the teenagers it is about herd immunity before we have a mutation resistant to the vaccines.

If enough boomers and GenX nihilists had gotten the vaccine we would not have having this conversation.

Won't someone please think of the children.

This is probably the absolute dumbest thing to ever happen in the entire pandemic. Here we have people with a COVID-19 survival rate of 99.997% who are highly unlikely to die from COVID-19, who don't need a vaccine, and are at the lowest possible risk, being given a vaccine from which they derive almost no benefit... and doing so under the guise of a public health initiative which is in reality a profit making scam totally based out of fear.

Your take is one of the absolute dumbest things I've ever heard. If teens get COVID they can spread it to vulnerable people and help the it mutate/persist for year. If they get a vaccine, the chances of that happening are basically zero. We have plenty of supply going unsure cuz the itsy bitsy needle scares a bunch of fools. If the teenagers are braver than those fraidy-cats let them take it and help everyone out.

Bingo. And before anyone says "we can still spread with the vaccine!!!"

No, the CDC has plenty of data showing that vaccines block asymptomatic cases

Also:

Outstanding immunological evidence of sterilizing immunity

Note: vaccines induce BETTER mucosal immunity than prior COVID infection

There's nothing needed to "help open the schools." They are already open in Common-sense America.
