Should I bother at this point to get both shots fir our teens or just get one, the flu shot? What have you done? My teens are 16 & 17, healthy.

I was a huge Covid shot fan in early 2021. But by the fall of 2021 it was obvious they were pretty useless for the vast majority of the population. I think pushing them on people before we really understood how effective they were over the long and medium term really kneecapped our public health agencies. Was stupid in retrospect.

In any event, whether you do or don’t get the shot for your family, yes, you are all going to get Covid again. And you will all be fine.

Covid was deadly and of course we got the vax and booster. I was terrified for my elderly parents.
The current strain is more of a cold and has been through our household 2X that we know of. We are not vaxing the children for this. Adults do what they want.

While I got the initial two Covid shots, I did not get it for either of my teens.

And no, I did not change my mind.

We got out two girls who are teens the Covid shots annually. They helped minimize infection and recovery time. Also helped eliminate spread to other family members. It’s not that big of deal and was easy.

I also had a few very heavy/irregular cycles that I never had before or after and I had COVID arm after first shot. We have not done COVID shots since the initial Booster. We always do flu shots.

I've gotten all of the COVID shots and boosters as recommended, but they have consistently messed up my menstrual cycles. I'd really like to understand more about that.

Pertinent question, were they vaccinated?

This is us, my husband and I. Huge regret caving to the pressure and I worry about my children everyday because of the shot.

Why? Did something happen?

Yes the lamestream media lied to us

What did they lie about?

Effectiveness of the shot particularly in preventing transmission

Health professionals were clear that the main benefit was less severe illness. I don't know what media you watch, but I was aware it reduced but didn't prevent transmission.

No one said it would stop transmission. It was just stop deaths and reduce the load on hospitals.

They absolutely did say it would stop transmission initially, and only softened that after it was obvious the shots did not stop transmission to us fools who took it.

Whole family got the initial two vaccines, no boosters. We have now shied away from flu and covid vaccines in their entirety. NOTHING will change our minds.

+1

They sure did say it!

They started charging their tune after vaccinated people were still getting sick. Only then did they start saying the vaccine only minimized the effects. I was a fool who took several shots. No more.

That’s the rationale now but it wasn’t then. It certainly wasn’t when we all got our shots. I still carry our covid “passports” in my purse, for sentimental reasons I suppose.

Has there been any good research published on children and covid vaccine? Specifically younger children? Seemed like very little to go off of when I last checked as far as how it would benefit small kids.

There is zero data because kids have decades ahead of them that nobody can predict what covid vaccines will do, especially annual shots such that they get dozens of doses.

We all got our Covid and flu shots. We all did both shots at the same time when we got them.

I agree, I asked my pediatrician about that (what do we know about the long term effects of having this vaccine dozens of times? Will it still be as effective when they are older and more vulnerable to the virus?) and they did not even understand my question and just said it’s been proven the shot has no side effects.
