[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are now saying early 2022. But it is pretty crappy of you to pin your hopes on little kids saving you instead of adults. [/quote]

As a parent of a child under 12, I'm not looking for him to "save me".  I am looking to protect him and save [i]him[/i] from the a$$hats who refuse to get vaccinated by choice.  Beyond that, I couldn't care less if they don't care enough to take care of themselves.[/quote]

I am so sick of the kids will be fiiiine crowd.  these people are not trumpers but liberal elitists who just want to get on with things. [/quote]
If this virus had the same effect on the population as a whole as it does on kids (i.e. few, if any, symptoms for the vast, vast majority), covid would’ve been in the news a few times and would then have been ignored. We wouldn’t have imposed any restrictions, and nobody would have spent money developing a vaccine.

So, given that covid doesn’t pose any meaningful risk to kids, what’s the point of vaccinating them? Is there any other vaccine that we give to a group that isn’t at risk from the disease in question?[/quote]

Here we go again. Hundreds of kids in the United States have died from COVID. A substantial percent of them were otherwise healthy. Many, many more are suffering from long-term side effects. While they are generally at less of a risk than adults, it is simply incorrect to say that they aren’t at a meaningful risk. [/quote]

The issue is whether the risks of the vaccine would outweigh the benefit in this subpopulation.  “The Science” says we don’t know.  You make think you know, but that’s like, just your opinion, man.  It’s entirely inconsistent to claim that “antivaxxers” are irrational to have qualms about clinical trials showing vaccine efficacy, and then say the vaccine should be approved for under 12s when the clinical trials are inconclusive on risk/benefit just because you want to vaccinate your kids.
