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

You're the third person entranced by the WHO redefinition, where did you read about it? Was it done for nefarious reasons?

You're trying to state that gaining immunity from infection is preferable to vaccines, it isn't both provides natural immunity, the latter without the risk of disease, there is no advantage to getting infected without a vaccine.

You can argue vaccine safety but promoting immunity by infection is stupidity.

Well, aren't you lucky nobody in Ireland is suggesting coercive, mandatory vaccination for either adults or children, then!

And if children who've tested positive for COVID recently and recovered are like children and adults who have had COVID in the past, then yes, their resultant natural immunity will wear off after around six months.

COVID is a bigger threat to children than a lot of other diseases we vaccinate against, it was posted already. COVID is riskier than the flu.

Professor Kingston Mills on The Last Word, there. I didn't catch the exact numbers he quoted for hospitalised children, but he did say far more are being hospitalised with COVID than ever were with flu. Talking specifically about COVID in children, he mentioned that 2% of those who got COVID had symptoms lasting for two months and - the bit I didn't fully catch - I think he mentioned that 4% have symptoms lasting 4 months. (The interview was just over an hour into the show, if you want to listen back from the Today FM website)

Unfortunately my kids in secondary school are sitting in freezing prefabs with the windows open and masks on, despite almost all being vaccinated, so I wouldn't raise your hopes too high.

At least they can communicate ok though.

No one should get drawn into hypothetical made-up scenarios. Jump in your time machine and go ask someone in the 1800s if you're overly concerned about how the vaccination drive for smallpox is going.

This seems rather hyperbolic given the actual risks to children from covid.

Are they higher or lower than flu? I genuinely don't know, but we don't encourage annual flu vaccinations in kids, or at least didn't until this year.

Yeah.....you just don't understand what you are reading. And your "conclusion" makes absolutely no logical sense. But I wasn't expecting any logic to be quite honest.

There's no point in wasting time replying to you with your junk and misunderstood selective quotes. Given you want to misrepresent things, I will include a quote from NIAC report below

🙄

Vaccines are safe for kids. My own have had well over half a dozen each, including COVID vaccinations.

The story you quote is from June. It goes on to say "The CDC said in a statement that “this case is currently under investigation and until the investigation is complete, it is premature to assign a specific cause of death.”

When a serious reaction or death is reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System after COVID-19 vaccination, CDC reviews all medical records associated with the case, including death certificates, and autopsy reports. The determination of the cause of death is done by the certifying official who completes the death certificate or the pathologist who conducts the autopsy.

“VAERS is not designed to determine if the vaccine caused the reported adverse event,” the CDC said. “While some reported adverse events may be caused by vaccination, others are not and may have occurred coincidentally.”

harrrylittle is magnetic vaccines person, make of that what you will!

I would have said they won't follow suit but they beat me to it

Why are you saying "unlikely"? It's not unlikely that the child will catch it at all. Not unless they scrounge and sit on the backs of all the other kids doing their bit and getting the vaccine. Even then, the will probably come into contact with it eventually.

You say that a parent making the decision not to protect their child is doing "their best". The difference between you and me appears to be that you are willing to intrude further on how they raise their child. Lets break it into three broad categories (using general "I" and "you")

1) "I hope that your child get worse symptoms than otherwise necessary if you refuse the vaccine"

2) "Your child's preventable suffering is none of my concern and I am abivalent as to whether your child gets worse symptoms than otherwise necessary if you refuse the vaccine"

3) "Your child's preventable suffering is my concern and I will care if your child get worse symptoms than otherwise necessary if you refuse the vaccine"

Lets assume nobody is in category 1. I am in category 2. You reason that that, and it seems entirely illogical to me, that my having that position is stopping some illiterate anti-vaxxer from getting the vaccine. Whereas to me, number 3 is more intrusive and more likely to piss that person off. You appear to be in 3 yourself.

(Now, my category 2 applies to otherwise "competent" or average parents/people. I'm not talking about abusive or otherwise neglectful parents)

Words have different meanings. While it may be unlikely that they will develop severe symptoms, there is a good chance that they will catch the disease. To "suffer from" a disease does not mean you have to be in serious physical pain from it - just that you catch it.

For example, you could suffer from many conditions and never know you have them.
