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

Our cohort will take at most two weeks for shot 1 and 10 days for shot 2. Where the WHO do have a point is on the leap straight into boosters ;those without first shots in lower income countries are more needy.

I suppose it will just come down to virus or vaccine. It seems at the rate its going it just will be one or the other and even even vaccinated you may still get it at some stage but at least it won't affect you as badly. I would think most drugs are available in both forms but im not a pharmacist so I don't know.

I'm a simple man and this is how I view the choices that we have. It's either get vaccinated by covid or get vaccinated by a vaccine.

People choosing the covid route are doing so on the assumption that covid is harmless to kids and that the vaccine is new. I could understand that if covid was harmless to kids and we had long term data to show that but we don't. We have 18 months or so of it and most of that is for the earlier variants. And of the data that we do have, it doesn't show that covid is harmless which isn't all that surprising because covid doesn't give a shít.

Eh, okay, just on a fleeting Google -

It's literally the same conclusion drawn basically everywhere (except by a few posters here of course, that know better than the CDC and PHE, but only when it suits their narrative).

Interesting information. Why don't we all concentrate on uncovering reality, and the facts, here, and less of the one-upmanship?

Has anyone posted that though? Not that I've seen. Although you wouldn't know it from the bizarre and deliberately misleading replies to claims that were never made.

God almighty.. denial is more than just a river in Egypt.

"LONDON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - There are early signs that people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 may be able to transmit the Delta variant of the virus as easily as those who have not, scientists at Public Health England (PHE) said on Friday.

The findings chime with those from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which last week raised concerns that vaccinated people infected with Delta could, unlike with other variants, readily transmit it" - REUTERS.

How much more clearer can it be???

As for the bit you cherrypicked, the reference the guy from Imperial College London is making is to a completely different report to the research I was referring (and provided links to). I also already noted that one in my original post if you read it again ("Previous earlier studies have also had different conclusions.")

Wow, think you’re the special one here, what a vile comment! Maybe backup a tad and read my posts before throwing abuse at me, my kids will be getting vaccinated, their choice.

I'll ask again, what qualifies you to dictate what anyone should do? Every parent has a choice to make here and it's not simple, whatever my kids are, they're way more important to the world than your self inflated ego ever will be, back in your box.

So should a fully vaccinated person who is in a house with someone COVID positive be isolating then??

Yes - (with Delta especially according to early indicators) you're at high risk of infection and passing transmission.

Luckily vaccines do work so symptoms if any should be negligible. Like as if you were a child actually.

Yet according to the HSE you don’t.

A fully vaccinated person who is a close contact of a positive case is not required to restrict their movements, unless they are high risk for breakthrough infection.

Because being vaccinated greatly reduces your chances of contracting the virus or passing it on to anyone else.
