There are really only two arguments for vaccines in general: 1) that they reduce or ideally eliminate the risk of disease, injury and death; and 2) that they reduce the risk of transmission.
As concerns the dominant variant right now, Delta–and most likely any future variants–the data seems to indicate that they don’t really affect the likelihood of transmission much.
And for kids under 25 or so, which is to say pre-K through graduate students, the risk is statistically zero for those who are healthy. It is not true that no one in that demographic died of COVID, but that nearly everyone who died was already seriously ill with something else, at a minimum obesity and related dysfunctions.
And after 20 months or so, we can quantify this risk reasonably well. In that demographic, there is no reason to think anyone contracting COVID will suffer any long term effects. My youngest had it at least once, and we both think twice, with the first, much more severe case happening in November of 2019. But all systems are fine, and think this is the case generally. She knows a dozen or more people who had it, and in some cases it was pretty awful, but no different from a bad flu, which remains more dangerous, statistically, than COVID, both in that specific demographic, and all the way up to age 70 or so, as I understand it.
But the risk of injecting biological material into people which has the effect of teaching the body to develop its own disease–in effect to learn to fight against itself–cannot be quantified.
Based on early results, it seems the IMMEDIATE result in many cases is blood clotting leading to all manner of ill effects.
But I think the more informed people are most concerned about the long term effects. We do have some safety data on the six months or so effects, so saying they are safe is not completely misguided on the part of doctors, even though reasonable questions can be asked about the honesty and openness of the data. Many of us think the CDC is cooking the books, and engaging in the health equivalent of financial fraud.
Come to think of it, they may literally be keeping two sets of books. That is well within the realm of the possible. I would even say it is likely, because even if they are lying, and know that they are lying, they will still want to know what the actual truth is, to the extent actually honest science can ascertain it. Even honest science has doubts and questions. In fact, the LACK of open doubt and questions is one of the best arguments against the sincerity of this whole edifice.
But what effect does the introduction of clotting factors, and genetic instructions to create damaging spike proteins have particularly on growing bodies?
Why should we NOT wonder if they will lead to increases, particularly, in Autoimmune disorders, which are on the rise anyway, for reasons which are not completely clear?
I think both giving and advocating for giving these vaccines to kids is criminally reckless.
And I will wonder for the first time if perhaps Walensky belongs in jail also. Keeping double sets of records would certainly justify it. That is fraud.
And lying about safety is complicity in murder.
