Would you vaccinate your children?

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!

No chance

@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

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.

@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. 👍🏼

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.

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

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

wondersun · 13/06/2021 08:43

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.

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.
