I guess you think you know what the risk is. I don't think you do. Usually we determine that with multi-year trials, but we didn't do that this time. Usually the trials are done on the kinds of people who might actually need to be vaccinated, but this time governments are eager to do mass vaccination of people who aren't vulnerable, even children. If there is significant harm, it may be years before we know what it is.
- collyw 5y agoIt seems completely wrong that they are trialling experimental vaccines on children, where the risk is almost certainly greater than from covid. Absolutely disgusting.
- hntroll666 5y agoI think you're exactly right. It's not medically justifiable to administer this vaccine to children, since they almost certainly will not benefit from it, and it would expose them to some unknown amount of risk. In other words, mass-administering this vaccine to children would amount to a medical atrocity, mass medical malpractice. HN seems to be OK with this.
- collyw 5y ago>HN seems to be OK with this. They do seem to be judging by your (and my) downvotes. It's not like anything ever went wrong in the past with things pushing experimental vaccines onto children. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/07/why-pandemic-flu-shot-caused-narcolepsy https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/07/why-pandemic-flu-sho... Add into this the fact everyone is basically being coerced into taking it by threatening not to be able to do things, the way this pandemic has been handled is an absolute disgrace. I have lost a lot of faith in the scientific establishment, and big tech even more as a result of this.
