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

I think that is why she is circumspect in her language though, because all the usual suspects in politics and the meeja would be hitting the panic button.

Cases in young are high.

Admissions have gone up in this younger age group but thankfully most are out in a couple of days .

But there is no guarantees if this pattern will continue once children return to school .

Who wants to take that chance ?

I think it would be positively negligent of anybody dealing with children not to advocate for what has so far proved to be a very safe vaccine with the risk of potential increases in infection and possibly more children becoming severely ill.

It is not as if this has been wheeled out straight away to children without adequate data . Just because that data is not widely available and discussed does not mean that these consultants are lying or hiding anything.

Why would they ?

The thought is facile and ridiculous . They would be struck off and never work again , at the very least . The level of debate that even suggests such unbelievable conspiracy is not worth reading imo.

I would be happy if this was not a decision people had to make as it is never easy where children are concerned .

However I know that someone like Prof Butler would not be recommending vaccination without very good reason ,and that is good enough for me .

Everyone else has to decide for their own children .

If you have children and your child was admitted, God forbid , with a serious infectious disease that needed radical treatment that was only in use for the last year but proven effective , would you be quizzing the consultant looking for research and data and waiting a few months before you decided to let your child have the treatment?

I know this is different before everyone jumps on me , but the principle of trust is the same , and the urgency is similar .

Too late getting your child vaxxed once they have already become unwell .

Also is anyone else here having problems with this site today ?!

It's impossible to post , keeps stopping .

Sigh, please do some research and stop spreading lies:

8 studies there for you to peruse at your leisure. I've made the post short so you can take it all in quickly.

Agree with you there .

Not much good one part of the world fully vaxxed but another rife with infection.

Same with different age groups in a population .....;)

Your point was that reduction of symptoms was what majorly reduced transmission, I have 8 studies showing that is not the case and those studies are showing reductions of up to 94% in transmission asymptomatically. There is no reason why that would be different with Delta and the figures in countries with high vaccination rates where Delta is predominant (including Gibraltar where you seem to constantly misunderstand the data) are showing that.

If you are saying that Delta is more transmissible, then it makes sense to get kids vaccinated as it will reduce the symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission and reduce the impact of the virus on the vaccinated individual when they catch it.

Although I see you've now resorted to name calling, good luck with that approach.
