@Narutocrazyfox Ah I see, thanks for clarifying (which I think you also did upthread and I missed it - sorry!)
My point here is though, that you can’t second guess which children are “safe from covid infection”. Children who are completely healthy have had bad infections, Mis-c, and post covid complications, my son being one of them. He was slim, sporty, healthy, never usually got ill, it has been dealing with after effects for 22 months. How? He should have been “completely safe”. I’m saying that gently by the way, tone is difficult on mn!
(Naruto this next bit’s not directed at you)
Now me talking about this seems to make some people incredibly angry so to be clear, I know it’s rare and isn’t going to happen to every child. And if people have made the decision not to vaccinate their child for reasons important to them, that’s completely understandable and no one should be forced to have a vaccine.
But the assertion that healthy children cannot be harmed by covid is not correct. I think people are just relying on a numbers game, that their child will never be one of the “unlucky” ones. Which is fair enough if they’re comfortable with that.
However, I’d feel a bit shit if I just read statements that said “covid doesn’t harm children” and said nothing. I feel that it’s worth saying something if it raises awareness and stops any child going through what ds has been through.
I’m not advocating lockdowns, mandatory vaccines, restrictions, permanent masking or any of the bullshit that usually gets thrown my way. I’m just an exhausted mum trying to make people aware of something that could make a difference to their child.
