I wonder if the second shot of Moderna gives kids a whole lotta side effects like it does for adults

Not even heart damage-level side effects, but fevers/headaches/etc.

Imagine having a vax clinic at an elementary school, and all of a sudden the kids start passing out and screaming they have headaches.

IIRC the dosing for kids was going to be far less than the adult dosing, so maybe that won't happen. But then who knows if a 1/10 dose would be as effective?

If people want ethically justified things to occur in this world, then we need to end democracy. There is no way countries with resources are going to humanitarianly give those resources away to other countries when they need those resources. It's why reparations will never happen in a democratic society, it's why truly open borders will never happen in a democratic society, and it's why people would never consider giving vaccines to other countries until there's no longer a shortage of supply, without some underlying selfish reason to do any of those things.

It's America First babey, and no matter how much liberals will try to deny it, all humans believe it to our very core. It's even more basic than country first really, it's: Me First. gently caress You Got Mine

It’s a legit, established remote school program run by the state, but a <12 can’t be expected to focus on schoolwork all day, so it’s just one (or both!) of us ignoring our jobs to drag the kid through schoolwork for eight hours.

Then we get to fight in the evenings, which is a nice break.

Don’t update the xslx just yet; we survived this last year with even less effort from the kid. And at least our O2 sats are going to remain above 95%.

the AAP and pediatricians are saying there is enough data to grant an EUA decision right now. it's not a black box decision. the FDA is quibbling over 4 more months of data so they can speed up the full approval. however delta isn't going to wait 4 months, especially as governors across the country are throwing kids unmasked into the plague pits now

i got my appointment marking "i don't know" on the self attestation for being immunocompromised. i got to the pharmacy and no one asked any questions, despite giving them my insurance and legit vaccine card. 3rd dose of moderna definitely made me sick whereas the first 2 didn't, though, so maybe i am??

oh poo poo man, good luck with that. we're still finalizing details but it's increasingly looking like i'm going to be homeschooling my kids. i'll probably be teaching them in the morning, and then i'll be doing my wfh for most of the rest of the day.

it'll be exhausting as hell, but there was a time when i was able to endure working full-time, doing grad school, and raising two little kids all at once on like 3 hrs of sleep per night. i'm doing my best to convince myself that i can make it through being stretched that thin again. we'll find out!

I've heard from an epidemiologist but can't independently confirm that there are at least some hypotheses that mRNA vaccines in developing immune systems may suppress immune response for non-targeted diseases but the whole technology is so new that nobody knows for sure. So at minimum there's some debate on the theory side of things.

https://downloads.aap.org/DOFA/AAP%...en_08_05_21.pdf

quote:

Based on scientific data currently available on COVID-19 vaccines, as well as on 70 years of vaccinology knowledge in the pediatric population, the Academy believes that clinical trials in these children can be safely conducted with a 2-month safety follow-up for participants. Assuming that the 2-month safety data does not raise any new safety concerns and that immunogenicity data are supportive of use, we believe that this is sufficient for authorization in this and any other age group. Waiting on a 6-month follow-up will significantly hinder the ability to reduce the spread of the hyper infectious COVID-19 Delta variant among this age group, since it would add 4 additional months before an authorization decision can be considered. Based on the evidence from the over 340 million doses of COVID-19 doses administered to adults and adolescents aged 12-17,as well as among adults 18 and older, there is no biological plausibility for serious adverse immunological or inflammatory events to occur more than two months after COVID-19 vaccine administration.

unless you think you know more than the AAP I'm going to trust their decision here. they're the ones who have deal with both the problems from vaccines and the problems from delta. they are telling us in very clear terms to approve the vaccines now given the available data in order to save more children from delta

Dunno why people are that worried about Jay Inslee's weak as poo poo mask "mandate" when Delta isn't slowing down for anything short of closures of schools and businesses. It's like being worried that a pair of water wings isn't as good as a life jacket as a five thousand foot tall wall of water crests above you.

When the FDA's request for additional safety data before a pediatric vaccine EUA was first publicized there was some discussion this was done with an eye towards expediting some form of full approval. That seems plausible, why do you think it might be due to adverse effects?

Plus during the adult phase 3 vaccine trials significant adverse effect cases were widely publicized, while I'm not aware of any reported so far for the pediatric vaccines. Wouldn't serious adverse effects be reported as well for the pediatric trial prices if they were happening?
