Would you get your kids vaccinated against COVID?

Maybe try to actually proući the material before weighing in. There’s plenty of documentation out there, and it isn't quite the scenario you're implying.

I’m not implying anything. The Indian soy strain is spreading among the unvaccinated... so why the hell are they talking about lockdowns for the vaccinated again? Is the AZ vaccine really that bad?

By the way, there’s a distinct difference between genuine inquiry and Just Asking Questions.

I was riding the subway today—just minding my own business, really—when I overheard a group of older women, all of whom are fully vaccinated, by the way, having this intense, heated discussion about some parents who made the choice to have their child vaccinated. It’s quite a sight, honestly—these ladies aren't exactly lacking in wits, either.

Elizabeth Morales49 said:My wife and I just got our first dose of the modern stuff, and we'll be heading back soon for the second one.

As for the kids, we aren't planning on vaccinating them.

Why? It’s an easy call for me and my wife—we're halfway through life, so to speak—but I have no interest in giving the little ones something that hasn't been sufficiently studied yet.

I honestly can't wrap my head around that logic. You're openly admitting you think the vaccine is experimental, yet you still went ahead and took it? Why jump into an experiment on purpose?
Plus, if you're being a good dad by skipping them, what's the plan there?
You seem to be forgetting that by looking out for yourself, you're actually looking out for your kids too.

I guess even during a big vaccination push, parents like that will probably end up being social outcasts.

I’m not doing it for myself, and I’m certainly not doing it for my kid.
The guy is sick enough already without being a guinea pig for this experiment.
If they actually want us vaccinated, they’re going to have to force it on us, because there is zero chance anyone is doing this voluntarily.

"Over 15% of kids had asymptomatic COVID-19 but ended up developing myocarditis"

Here comes another round of fearmongering to rattle the masses. 🤦

15% getting myocarditis?! What is this nonsense... I know plenty of kids who had COVID and had zero issues—they were back on their feet in just a few days. Honestly, more of them got hit harder by the flu last year.

The guy is clearly talking out of his rear end. If those numbers were even remotely accurate, pediatric cardiology departments across the country would be completely overwhelmed right now.

About 15% cruised through it without a single symptom. (The other 85%? Just mild stuff.) But then... one. Two. Three. A handful actually ended up developing myocarditis.

Precisely. At this point, we aren't even discussing mathematics; we are simply discussing basic logic and reading comprehension.
Is it not true that not every child falls ill from the mumps, yet because a small fraction develops severe complications, we still vaccinate the entire population regardless?

The headline says it all: 15% of kids end up with myocarditis.
If you actually bother reading the details, though, you'll see they just want to keep the herd scared. ☕

The fallout from measles in kids is pretty much on par with what you see after they deal with COVID.

Bottom line? These diseases are nasty for older folks.
That’s why you get the kids vaccinated—to save them the headache later on.
Plus, you get that sweet, lasting immunity out of the deal.

The same logic should probably apply to those rushed COVID shots that were fast-tracked through under conditions we've never seen before. I mean, if you personally want to roll the dice with your own kid, fine, but don't act like that's some universal logical standard for every other child out there.

And let's not forget the context—we are dealing with a pandemic involving a novel virus. We already know it can cause severe clinical issues in adults, and it can trigger multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children. Honestly, we still don't have a clear picture of how all of this might negatively impact their long-term health.

Oh sure, because the flu is just as terrifying, yet somehow people—and especially kids—barely bother showing up for those shots either.

If we're talking logic, we first have to establish whether the COVID vaccine provides lasting immunity—which, so far, it pretty much doesn't—before we can even attempt to compare COVID shots to something like the measles and mumps vaccines.

I mean, any infection can cause problems like that, I guess. Kids today still die from strep throat because of complications or sepsis, despite having access to top-tier diagnostics, specialists, and antibiotics... yet almost every child has had it at least once or twice. So, I really don't see why there's such a massive rush to scramble for a vaccine...

No.
It was stated quite clearly by Trobonjača that over 15% of children who had asymptomatic COVID developed myocarditis.

"you've described how over 15% of children who had asymptomatic COVID ended up developing myocarditis..."
