    If you had to choose between infecting your child with covid-19, or giving your child the vaccine - which would you choose?

    Amazing that the professionally compiled death numbers are wrong, but the crowd-sourced VAERS reports are gospel truth.

    Still a liar. Good to know. Let me know if you ever want to tell the truth.

    The choice is neither. I don’t have to make that choice. I’d also bet that if we polled, you be in the minority on vaccination of children at this point in time. I completely understand both sides of the argument, but am not sticking my kids with anything that hasn’t gone through proper trials.

    Or that he trusts the FDA but not the CDC.

    It's the same government, coronavaxbros.


    But there was "tons of data from Europe" lol

    But I thought all these drugs were safe? What happened? Oh, you mean there's a reason why no one can sue the companies?

    This study doesn't even get to kids, who are at a drastically lower risk than 20-29. But hey, you feel free to stick whatever they tell you to in your daughters arm. Me? I'll wait thanks.

    You know you'd choose the vaccine over the virus. You'd be lying or appallingly stupid if you said otherwise.

    Clotting and collapsing platelette counts would be one.
    Undiagnosed autoimmune diseases for another that a child's system may not be robust enough to handle vs. an adult - my 79 year old mother and her reaction to the Moderna shot due to it's interaction with Hashimoto Syndrome. Luckily, she is retired, so sleeping 22 hours a day for 3-4 weeks while they reregulate her thyroid is not as big of a deal as it might be in child trying to keep up with school work.
    Finally, it is well understood that there is a lot of cross-reaction between the immune system and the endocrine system, especially in the area of hormone release and regulation (see also previous comment).

    From everything I have read, I am satisfied that the mRNA vaccine from Pfizer I was given was safe....although rightly came with warning of side effects. I was satisfied that I (or my doctor) could deal with those side effects and I would have no lasting impacts from it. As for children, if I still had them, I would have to take a long hard look at how children were reacting (or not) to this vaccine.

    Did you not see that the Child Covid hospitalization numbers were wrong? Or the data I showed that the Covid child deaths are off? I see some want to believe everything they are told. Show me where I said VAER's are gospel? I'll wait.

    For who? My kids? I already made the choice. And it was super easy.

    Yes, you disappear when he rants about masks being useless, about how every number is BS (and then uses the same numbers when he thinks that they work for his point), insults everybody that disagrees with him with his silly Coronabros junk, and then show up to defend him while not addressing any of those points.

    That was the point that was being made. That is how he would respond to a point that he doesn't agree with.

    You’d infect your child with the virus before you’d give them the vaccine for that virus? Really?

    I never start the insults, but when called out, I will not back down. Masks don't work. It's ok. Just like lockdowns in the US don't work and schools closing was wrong. But hey, you are on hot streak, why stop now?

    Another lie (actually 2, since you regularly start the insults). You are a consistent liar.

    They might've already had it. I have no idea. I have zero concerns for covid for them. But for sure they aren't getting the vaccine until a lot more data is presented.

    They locked this thread because of your trolling. Frankly, I’m not sure why they re-opened it.

    He's been snarky for a year, I only reply. If he tries being respectful, i'll follow suit. Don't count on that though.

    Ones yet discovered? That is why we still don't have full approval after all.
