To say no to covid vaccine for DS?

[Clarabell77]

My DS10 has asthma - mild albeit a chest infection 14 months ago ended up in an overnight in hospital on a nebuliser/steroid and he’s had to have a steroid once during that time for another infection.

He’s been identified as being at risk and offered a Covid vaccine. I’m not sure whether to allow him to have it as I’m sure he’s had Covid quite a few times when we’ve all tested positive at home - can’t test him as he won’t let me near him with a swab. He’s had mild symptoms, even when ours weren’t.

He’s had the flu vaccine twice and taken unwell within weeks on both occasions so I’ve opted out of that one this year. Does anyone have any thoughts on the Covid one? Ideally someone who has actual knowledge, not from YouTube, I’m not a covid denier or anti vaxxer.

AIBU to not get him the vaccine?

you think the vaccine caused cancer?

The hideous vaccine injuries, the risk of serious illness and death, ans the fact that it doesn’t seem to work, means it would be a hard no from me!

"them vaccines...been pushed"

No comment.🙄

DS1 has life threatening asthma. Did he get the vaccines first opportunity and every one thereafter? You bet your bippy.

I know the answer, but I'll ask anyway- care to provide any links to credible research and facts that support this statement?

None of these are facts. Dangerous ignorant post

10 is not a baby

Have you ever had flu?

The flu injection is not as effective in children. The nasal spray contains trace amounts of porcine gelatine but the Muslim council of Britain have said Muslim children may have the nasal spray in good faith as they recognise how important it is to keep communities protected.

Vaccines are black triangle medicines which means there is really strict recording and monitoring of side effects. If you give anything to millions of people, some will have side effects. But there is no evidence to suggest the harms of the vaccines outweigh the benefits.

If you don’t believe this and instead think that Public Health are spending billions of pounds vaccinating people for some nefarious reasons, then you are going down the conspiracy theory route.

As you will be aware, asthma is unpredictable and deadly - personally I wouldn’t take the risk of my child not being protected against current strains of Covid of flu as the viruses do tend to mutate.

Often :)

Wrong. There is no possible scientific link purely because biology just doesn't work that way.
Back to school for you.

You've been fortunate enough then not to have flu then?

My son caught influenza A (despite getting the jab), progressed to pneumonia then sepsis. It would have been deadly.

Oh dear🙄

Had flu many times! Bed rest and sweating it out, people now are way too reliant on vaccinating for absolutely everything.

@Clarabell77 was it the nasal flu vaccine that he had previously? My ds has asthma mild and seasonal but he too as a toddler took ill approximately 10 days after the nasal vaccine and ended up in hospital on steroids. I opted out the following year and he was fine no major asthma attacks just a couple of chest infections. I did want him protected so spoke with my gp and they agreed that he could have the jab, so each year since age 5 he’s had the flu jab.

Right! No dilemmas to be had, just funerals to plan...

You don't have to vaccinate ALL your children - just the 1's you definitely want to keep.

Can you provide links to the evidence, please?

In the cafe?

If you have a vulnerable family member, you’ll do anything to keep them alive.

Your immune system is clearly strong if you can just sweat flu out.

You may want to visit the respiratory ward at your local hospital to find out what flu and covid does to the vulnerable.

Flu isn't that dramatic!!!!!!.
Fucking hell.
This is someone who has never experienced the flu

Why mock the way someone has said something? No need for that. Just address what they’ve said surely, instead of making fun of how they said it.

Seriously, “many times”?

I've got mild asthma. No issues with flu+covid vaccines past few years since covid vaccine became available.
I'd speak with gp and likely get both for my ds in your shoes. It's tough making decisions for others. 🩷

No you haven't!!

Sure you do🙄
