Would you vaccinate your children?

[mrsnw]

So children could possibly be vaccinated by the autumn term. I've had the vaccine and my children have had all the other available jabs including flu. I'm not sure where I stand with this one and I don't know why!

I can’t believe u think we can change people’s DNA with a tiny vaccine. How does that work?

Environmental factors such as food, drugs, or exposure to toxins can cause epigenetic changes by altering the way molecules bind to DNA or changing the structure of proteins that DNA wraps around.

[wondersun]

I would rather they had the vaccination than covid so yes of course! Also can’t see how this will end without vaccinating all age groups.

[quote MummytoGeorgie]@Saltedcaramel78 lol it is experimental until the trials have ended in 2023. Fact. Anything that is issued for emergency use is experimental until clinical trials have fully completed. Perhaps you need to educate yourself. 👍🏼[/quote]
I believe that poster was referencing the fact that you refer to the vaccines as "experimental gene manipulators"

you realise the vaccines are not capable of altering DNA and indeed go nowhere near your genetic material?

it is ironic you're heckling other posters to educate themselves

[Scrambledcustard]

No. Covid isn't particularly bad for our children. In fact they are largely unaffected by it.

However influenza is actually quite bad for young children and can cause serious complications- the under fives are the mostly likely group to be hospitalised with it. They have that jab.

[TempsPerdu]

No, not until there’s a hell of a lot more clinical data on vaccine safety in the public domain (DD is 3).

The precautionary principle has been invoked many, many times by scientists and politicians in relation to masks, social distancing, not lifting Covid restrictions too quickly etc, and most people seem to be on board with this. I’ll be exercising the same caution by choosing not to rush to vaccinate my own child against a virus that poses little risk to her.

@MummytoGeorgie

Inject my baby with an experimental gene manipulator ? Not a fucking chance .... over my dead body.

@MummytoGeorgie

I see you’ve upgraded from EXPERIMENTAL GENE THERAPY !!!

anti vax nonsense

Turn down the vaccine for your child if we,re at a point where they’re routinely offered it sure, but why spread scientific illiteracy all over mn

[Distiller91]

No chance

[Mistlewoeandwhine]

No. My kids have had Covid so why would I take a risk with a medical procedure that could possibly harm them? DS1 (aged 14 at the time) had Covid badly by the way and was really unwell but recovered fully.

[WhatMattersMost]

Not yet I wouldn't, no. (I've had my first vaccine and booked in for my second.)

[JMJTHEWEEDONKEY]

No way at all. Some good points have been made above.

[Flowerlane]

Not a chance.

[AppleJane]

I fear parents will soon have to make this decision and imo it's wrong to put that pressure onto them.

It is not an emergency situation for children to be vaccinated, especially young children and we definitely need more long term data for the vaccinated adults first.

We don't have small children in our family but I'd fight tooth and nail so you don't have to vaccinate yours until we are certain it is safe.

[Souther]

No.

My kids are 7 and 3.

Not a chance

@Goldieloxx

Any side effects from vaccines happen quickly, where does this idea that they cause long term issues come from? Where is there evidence that any vaccine has caused wide spread long term effects to any population???

These are new technology vaccines and in animal trials for coronavirus vaccines, SARS and in human trials for the dengue vaccines using mRNA the some of the subjects died from ADE months/years later on being infected in the wild with different strains so absolutely no I would not vaccinate a child with this especially as there were only 1000 kids in the pfizer trial which is far too low. Also kids are relatively unscathed by covid and most will have some immunty already as most probably have caught it in school there is 0 reason unless they are clinically vulnerable.

@LovelyLadyLily

Absolutely not - no way.

We have no idea about the long-term safety of these vaccines on growing bodies, fertility etc.

It may be judged to be 'safe' but so was AZ at trial stage. Covid death is so so rare in children (and almost non-existent in healthy children) so even a tiny, very rare side effect would totally negate the benefit.

Put it this way - if the vaccine killed children at the rate AZ is killing 30 year olds (and it would probably be higher because AZ seems worse the younger people are) then the vaccination would kill far, far more children than in the whole of the pandemic in the UK so far. The vaccine would literally be more deadly than Covid for kids. Of course they won't use AZ on kids but we have no idea if Pfizer or any of the others will turn out to have some 'rare' side effect in kids that kills more than it saves. There are already reports of myocarditis with Pfizer (affecting young males).

Apart from the two who got transverse myelitis during the trial.
Of course it could be a coincidence.
Probably was.
Yes of course..

[shewalkslikerihanna]

Short answer

Never

[Remmy123]

Another no because I have felt shocking since my vaccine for days now and I do not want my kids feeling the same

[PrincessTuna]

No. They are still trying to understand the wide range of side effects. Plus if the adult population is vaccinated, and children are not dreadfully ill with covid, there's not a strong case for doing it.

[bingowingsmcgee]

No. Risk of the jab outweighs the risk of the disease for my kids, and I suspect they both had covid in March 2020 anyway.

[caringcarer]

I would although I feel bad CEV people in some countries still not vaccinated. I would.happily pay for a vaccine for one of these people.
