Would you get your kids vaccinated against COVID?

Tyler Lopez98 said:I don't have children yet, but if I did, they would be vaccinated.

Every parent carries the weight of ensuring their children's well-being—and in my view, disease prevention is a fundamental part of that responsibility. It is simply the responsible thing to do. I have full confidence in the safety of vaccines; I chose to get vaccinated myself, as did everyone in my family, and I would certainly extend that same protection to my children should the time come.

To be honest, I find it difficult to wrap my head around those who oppose vaccination—people who cling to absurd conspiracy theories while disregarding medicine and science in an era as advanced as the 21st century.

If you actually believe in science and medicine, you wouldn't be vaccinating them right now, because the recommendation for childhood vaccinations was pulled and they're still running more tests (except for maybe the high-risk cases).

So, you're implying the Mayo Clinic is peddling nonsense conspiracy theories? This guy actually sent you a link right before your post where the Mayo Clinic explicitly states they don't recommend vaccinating children, but sure, go on, you clearly know better than the experts...

At the end of the day, you're acting exactly like the anti-vaxxers you criticize—you're deciding what's good for your kids based on something you heard somewhere else, even though there isn't actual scientific backing for it, and the only real difference here is where you're choosing to get your information from.

Do you even realize that what they’re injecting is straight-up poison that wrecks your body? Those spike proteins are proven to cause damage. Even the manufacturers are coming clean—AstraZeneca admitted their shot could lead to capillary leak syndrome and those well-known blood clots (microthrombosis), and that goes for the mRNA stuff too. You’re seriously willing to risk your life over some hyped-up version of the flu?!

Actually, it’s probably a good thing you don't have kids...

I’d consider it a massive stroke of luck if I didn't have a freaking naive parent like you looking out for me...

Just listen to this... "believes in medicine"... as if there isn't a giant Big Pharma machine pulling all the strings... gee... 🙄

your kids are lucky to have you

Of course, the frequency of this side effect among the vaccinated is significantly lower than what we see in those who actually catch the virus, but I won't dwell on that—it doesn't really fit the anti-vax conspiracy narrative, does it?

A viral infection usually causes myocarditis, but it can also stem from a drug reaction or some broader inflammatory issue. Symptoms involve chest pain, exhaustion, breathing problems, and irregular heartbeats. May 29, 2020

They conveniently left that out.
So, basically ANY viral infection.

There is absolutely no way I am letting my kids get hit with these experimental shots. Not under any circumstances. Honestly, all this censorship, the blatant lying, the double standards, and the constant fear-mongering? It’s just pushed me to completely question every single one of these "mandatory" vaccines they try to force on children. I've actually started joining some Facebook groups with other parents who choose not to vaccinate their kids, and now I'm learning how to navigate around these imposed requirements. I'm just done with modern Western medicine. I don't trust any of them. In my opinion, everyone needs to be their own doctor first and foremost. Healthy lifestyle habits are what actually guarantee strong, natural immunity. But they never talk about natural immunity... they only ever talk about needles, needles, and more needles.

There is growing literature regarding the affection of the cardiovascular system in COVID-19 infection. Cardiac injury (troponin I elevation, ECG and echocardiography abnormalities) across different studies, which is around 7.2%5 of the patients, arrhythmia was found in 16.7%.5

In another study, 83 patients with severe and critical COVID-19 infection underwent a CT scan,6 chest pain was reported in 6% of the patients and pericardial effusion was found in 4.8%, which suggests that acute pericarditis could be an under diagnosed pathology, and therefore, not correctly managed and treated. Continued observations of the cardiovascular complications of the disease are needed.

Are you suggesting just any virus other than the one actually confirmed?

I honestly can't fathom where you all managed to dig this up.

The CDC isn't recommending shots for healthy kids right now:

Comirnaty (made by Pfizer), which happens to be the only shot approved for anyone under 18 so far, is currently under the microscope. They're looking hard at its link to myocarditis in young adults—something that’s already popped up as a major safety red flag over in the USA and Israel. Honestly, until we get some real clarity on how often this heart inflammation actually shows up after getting Comirnaty, and how common this issue is in kids under 18, it's basically impossible to say with any real certainty if the benefits actually outweigh the risks for healthy kids aged 12 and up. Look, if a parent still wants to go ahead and vaccinate their healthy 12-year-old, they can—nobody is stopping them—but doctors need to make sure parents know that because we're still trying to figure out the myocarditis numbers, we haven't officially cleared healthy kids for the shot yet.

Poison? Wrong topic. Science 101: every drug and vaccine has side effects, but that doesn't make them poison.

And just a quick reality check: over three billion doses administered worldwide. ☕

I hope you keep all your illnesses trapped inside your own four walls so you don't end up running to the ER the second something actually goes wrong.

So, you're just gonna dodge the whole thing regarding the CDC pulling their childhood vaccination recommendations?
How are the people who were out there campaigning for those shots feeling right about now?
And what about the parents who already went ahead and vaccinated their kids based on that advice?

I feel for those kids, truly. I suppose this is just more blatant proof that we shouldn't blindly swallow everything they feed us—one really ought to be questioning things constantly. It’s best not to get ahead of oneself, as the old folks used to say... maybe we should have been more skeptical from the start.

The logic used by Tomasini is sound, whereas yours is purely tribal. Modern medicine serves its purpose quite well in many areas. However, when it comes to battling the coronavirus or common seasonal flus, we aren't exactly there yet...

The biggest study on COVID and kids out there just dropped: It’s basically harmless for children

but experts will still claim they might pass it to their grandparents 🕺

Took my 15-year-old over to San Francisco yesterday to get him his Pfizer shot. I won't pretend to be jumping for joy about it—the benefits feel a bit murky, I guess. But honestly, our quality of life is sliding downhill fast, and he won't stay fifteen forever.

Travel, sports games, concerts.

Plus, I figure it’s one way to help out the community. My wife isn't on board, though. We had ourselves a bit of an argument.

Maybe she's got a point. 🙂

You basically just handed your kid a 10x increase in his chances of getting myocarditis.
Way to go, Dad!

Nah, because it’s got nothing to do with his comment where he basically denies all medicine and science exists. ☕
Quincy:

I can't even begin to explain how much this situation sucks—it’s absolute chaos. Honestly, just looking at the data is enough to make anyone lose it. It’s all nonsense. Megan Green72 says: Tomasini's got it right—you’re looking at this through some tribal lens. Look, modern medicine is killer for certain things. But when it comes to fighting off COVID or your basic seasonal flu? It's still not quite there yet.

Read what he wrote again. Seriously.

You probably should have listened to your wife. The latest guidance from the CDC suggests they aren't even recommending vaccination for healthy kids.
