Would you be happy for your children to receive covid-19 vaccine

in fairness the poster isn’t saying there is a danger to pregnant women. All the poster said was if they were pregnant they wouldn’t take it. Just because someone has arrived at a different conclusion to you doesn’t make it dangerous misinformation.

Additionally, any pregnant woman I know are thinking long term health and development of the baby not just the safety of vaccine to themselves. You mightn’t agree with other views, but that is okay. Having a discussion with different views is healthy and it helps people make better decisions.

I wanna believe you. Could you please show me the study who scientifically shows zero risks and dangers for a foetus?

Obviously all the kids should get it. We're trying to stop a pandemic. Not "cure them". Children are resivours of disease.

In addition there's the ongoing CDC study Vaccine Pregnancy Registry | CDC (139,000 births and counting) and this study based off the V-Safe data that found no anomaly for pregnant women:

Preliminary Findings of mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Persons | NEJM

And yes, there was a few weirdos who went into the "Pregnant" forum to post anti-vax nonsense.

This study you reported actually indicates that among who "..had a completed pregnancy .. 13.9%...resulted in a pregnancy loss ". Is that considered normal? I am really curious as I don't understand much of medicine and statistics

Jesus Social Media has a lot to answer for after reading through this thread. It's packed with people going on about how it's dangerous, is more dangerous than Covid itself, it's probably lethal and a lot more after they "did their research" but refuse to cite any proper source for their information other than Youtube videos and some easily discredited work.

Now I'm the first to admit I'm not a scientist and don't understand the exact science and works behind mRNA vaccines and how they'll work, but I'll put my trust in the literal -thousands- of folks across the world who have and have stood by the massive benefits of the vaccines.

I'm also not an expert electrician, so when I have an electrical problem in my home which I'm incapable of fixing I go and contact an electrician and get them to check it out for me because they have the tools and knowledge to solve the problem. It's literally the same basic concept.

By all means, do some research, but accept that you don't have the answer to things you simply don't understand.

The government quoted 1/300,000 young people will get a blood clot as a result of the vaccine. If 100 million young people recieved it that would count as 333 young people getting life threatening blood clots. If this were as a result of talc powder or birth control pills for example it would be an international scandal

Antivaxers (or "vaccine hesitant" as those who were kid gloves refer to them) are always going to be overrepresented here. You need to consider that these people have families and friends and unless they're members of certain ethnicities/cultures, the majority of those friends and family are going to be like the 80-odd percent who prefer vaccines over covid. This means that shíting on about how mRNA isn't tested or that it's an attack on civil liberties comes across as flat-earther talk. Combine that with the fact that we're in the middle of a worldwide pandemic for which we have a good vaccine now and how people understand that it's the unvaccinated who are fighting on the side of the covid, this can have social consequences, like not being invited to group activities or being told to cop on by their peers.

What a forum like this offers is a safe space where they can be their "vaccine hesitant" selves without any social consequences. They have to tell people about how mRNA is new but they know better than to talk such nonsense around real people so that kind of leaves this place where they'll meet similarly minded types who are here for the same reason. As a result, it can give the impression that there's loads of them when in reality this is just the place that they've all been driven to. 80-odd percent are getting vaccinated but they're not here, they're out having the craic with friends and loved ones. The vaccine-hesitant on the other hand, have nowhere else to be.

How can you be so certain that it was to do with "the age group"? Where is the medical evidence or data to back up your claim that it's simply due to the age of the participants?

There's any number of causes that effected 3 people on the same day - perhaps a faulty batch of vaccine. The vaccination centre is meant to write the batch numbers on your vaxx card to collate if there is any incidence of faulty batches. In my case whoever was the admin person on my second dose DIDN'T write the batch number on it, which I only looked at a day later. Perhaps they were too busy gathering anecdotal evidence to rehash as disinformation on a message forum. 🤔

Where does that leave you then?

What kind of healthcare worker are you ? Just the way you're presenting evidence of correlation without evidence of causation. This is just a bit strange considering medical workers would be coming from a STEM background......
