[quote Wroxie]@TableFlowerss when my daughter was 16, we moved back to the states for a year. Her school had a blood drive and since she was under 18 it required me to sign a permission slip. There was a very small risk to her from this procedure - as outlined in the permission slip - probably similar to the risk of a covid jab. Maybe greater. I don't know exactly but it's definitely not risk free. It is, however, a good and moral thing to do which would help save others' lives and so I signed the permission slip. Would you not? Do you think that because someone is under 18 that the most infinitesimal chance of the possibility of risk to them is more important than real and measurable risk to others? I don't. And I think that teaching your children to make the right choice in these situations through your encouragement, is going to serve them far better in life than teaching them that it's OK if other people die as long as you are comfortable and don't have to feel anxious. Because that's all this is - to be very, very clear, the children in question are FAR more likely to die from actual covid, caught while unvaccinated, than they are from the vaccine.[/quote]

No they’re not likely to FAR more likely to die of covid. That’s the whole point, it’s like 0.0001% chance of a child dying of covid, so to vaccinate them is not to protect them, as some are trying to pass off, it’s to protect others.
You’re entitled to your opinion, but people are entitled to do what they feel is best for their child.
On the topic of morality, I assume you would agree to yours and your families organs being donated after death? I assume you think it’s morally wrong for people to not agree to give up donate their organs?
I would say that’s morally wrong but plenty of people don’t care.
