Why are we vaccinating children against COVID-19?


Highlights


Bulk of COVID-19 per capita deaths occur in elderly with high comorbidities.


Per capita COVID-19 deaths are negligible in children.


Clinical trials for these inoculations were very short-term.


Clinical trials did not address long-term effects most relevant to children.


High post-inoculation deaths reported in VAERS (very short-term).

"Her son is one of more than 840,000 children under the age of four to contract COVID-19 in the United States since the beginning of the pandemic, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

By late Tuesday night, he was intubated and heavily sedated, wrapped in his baby blanket with his favorite Paw Patrol stuffed animal at hand."

in our district, if exposed to virus & not vaccinated, must quarantine at home for 10 days

we've received 3 notices of exposure since school started so our kid would have had to miss 30 days of school

however, our teen got vaccine

if you're the parent of one of the 600 children who have died from virus, stats don't matter


kids also suffer from long term effects of covid:

https://www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/HealthU/2021/05/19/how-covid-19-affects-kids-long-term/

a struggle to make it through the day in school
exhaustion
trouble concentrating
increased difficulty with schoolwork, leading to lower-than-usual grades
decreased performance in athletics compared to their pre-COVID level
fatigue or breathing problems while participating in sports

And then there are deaths from the vaccine itself that kind of offsets deaths without vaccine. Vaccines aren't always the answer, people flock to them but imagine having your kid vaccinated and two days later your making funeral arrangements for that same child.

I think that's a pretty good reason to vaccinate.

If you are going to deflect, do better than this.

Deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with a focus on ages 0-18 years in the United States.

0-4 years
181

5-18 years
406


(from CDC)
I'm not disagreeing , But I'm sure there would have been a lot more, if it wasn't for shut downs and school closers.

Why are we vaccinating children against COVID-19?
The more people that are vaccinated, the less likely it is for the disease to survive, spread and thrive in society.

If society gets the spread down below an R0 of 1 then the disease will die off.
If children are unvaccinated, catching it and spreading it, then the disease will continue to proliferate, continue to kill people in society.

Well they use VAERS inappropriately and while the rest of their arguments have some validity this one statement discredits them completely in my mind

That said I wonder what their opinion would be on the seasonal flu vaccine for kids?

Our rating: False

The claim that a 2-year-old girl died after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is FALSE, based on our research. The CDC said the report was removed from the VAERS database for being "completely made up." VAERS allows anyone to submit an unverified report, and the data can contain inaccurate information. Clinical trials of the Pfizer vaccine in that age group had not started at the time the report claimed the vaccine was administered to the child

Here's the deal the stats are the stats the fact that a particular person or family is on the "wrong" side of the stats does not change that. I learned that nearly a decade ago when my father had and later died from a recurrent bout of colon cancer that was not "supposed" to happen. The fact that my dad was in the 10% did not change those generally favorable numbers for people who had their colon cancer caught at that same stage.

Doesn’t make sense to me, either. I wouldn’t recommend anyone under twenty getting this vaccine, unless they were especially severely sick and vulnerable to catching and dying of covid.

school kids are vulnerable to catching it

we've received 3 notices of exposure in less than 2 mos
would've missed 30 days of school- quarantine is 10 days

however, she's vaccinated so not forced to quarantine
