How would my children get hurt from not taking the covid vaccine? Are you... are you actually suggesting they're gonna get hurt by covid? Are you for real? LOL!!!

As I've said upthread, I'm extremely pro vaccine. I'm pro SAFE vaccine. The way we have created the dozens of safe vaccines that have been injected into my and your kids' veins is via a social and cultural process of rigorous, long-term study of new vaccine formulations, generally taking ~10 years. We have thrown away the safe vaccine playbook for the covid vaccines, which again is a cultural technology, and so I am not injecting my kids with this.

Hilarious you're so deluded you think this poses a risk to my children. I'm sorry you've been so misinformed.

Sports circles is really hard to understand? How about the soccer subreddit for the first time today having active, upvoted comment threads about the vaccines having some role to play in all these young, healthy soccer players dying. Have you not heard about this at all? I'm guessing most here would throw this away as some stupid conservative conspiracy theory, but deaths are pretty hard to hide and it's becoming painfully obvious something is amiss.

I have lived in 5 states (well, currently live in 2 states) and have joined parenting groups in each--sometimes multiple groups. I generally don't depart once I move again because I enjoy the other parents in the groups. Not really that hard to understand. Don't need a lot of kids to understand this.

Thanks for addressing my most pertinent concerns. Now how about

Snarkiness aside, can you back these claims up? How certain are the health professionals that these are reactions to the vaccines? Cause, lots of people - even young kids - end up in the hospital all the time for various reasons.

Snarkiness not aside, this really sounds a lot like these kids were hospitalized with the vaccine, not because of the vaccine. Because, uh, three eighths of kids having hospitalization-level reactions to the vaccine sounds like the sort of thing that would make the news. Somewhere. At some level.

You're clearly not understanding my very simple premise. I am a member of 8 parenting groups spanning 5 states, because I moved a lot and I live in 2 states now. These groups have MANY parents, and each parent has one or more child. So these groups represent some hundreds of children.

In three of these groups, which started off universally pro-vaxx, some parent posted some pics of their poor children in the hospital. In every case it was a young boy hospitalized with heart problems that were immediately or closely preceded by the child getting the vaccine.

This has caused consternation and much cognitive dissonance within these groups.

So, not 3/8s of children. 3 cases out of hundreds of children.

Serious question: Why would a vaccine designed to elicit an immune response, but otherwise demonstrated to have an incredible safety profile thus far, be somehow more dangerous than a virus (that also elicits an immune response) that is known to have an incredibly poor safety profile across all age groups?

Your kids are going to be exposed to COVID, probably more than once, and you seriously think the vaccines are more dangerous than the actual virus?

knulla posted:

That isn't true. The same trials are taking place as with other vaccines and--as you've noted--they haven't completed yet because they track long term efficacy and safety. But the vaccines has been approved for general use because we're in the middle of a pandemic of a deadly disease that kills across all age groups.

I'm not an expert on the UK economy, but a couple of weeks of travel restrictions to South Africa and increased monitoring don't exactly seem like economy-crippling actions, particularly if they're going to avoid getting into a situation that would actually have a significant effect.

For sure "a couple of weeks" can turn into a lot more, but that's in the scenario where the variant is bad news, and the restrictions are definitely necessary to avoid / delay further restrictions.

It's already in London if it is as contagious as they say. If it is that contagious and it's mutations avoid the vaccines, it'll blow up and stopping planes won't matter.

If the vaccines are good, no big deal either way.

and honestly, I wouldn't;t mind if the US stopped travel and let Britain take that poo poo full brunt. Let us see how to handle it. let them be the test subjects to see if the vaccine works. I think they can handle it and tanking their economy is not worth having a perfectly good test subject.

Well first, lets read the sentence and notice that I didn't even mention covid. That's your first clue that I'm not "actually suggesting they're gonna get hurt by covid?"

Breaking it down.
"The biggest predictor of your kid suffering from adverse reactions to a vaccine" so looking at this I'm saying if a kid has a bad reaction to a vaccine (not covid you will note) then there was something we could have looked at before he had the "adverse reaction" that is a very good "predictor" that he would have one.

"the parents being anti-vax morons" and this is the predictor. There was some subtext to what I wrote, maybe I was to subtle.

To flip it around to help.
The children of parents who are not anti-vaxx morons are somehow, mysteriously, far less likely to have their parents report that they had an adverse reaction to a vaccine.

I'm guessing you have basically zero experience dealing with complex systems.

Let me ask you a question in response. The premise you need to understand going into this is that pregnant women are able to take almost NOTHING in the way of medications. The reason is because it is considered unethical to test molecules on pregnant women, and so the safety of a given molecule is unknown for these women. For that very reason, all the vaccine clinical trials explicitly excluded pregnant women.

Do you think the vaccine is safe enough for pregnant women?

You must know that some medicines are safe for adults but not for kids. Some have dose-response curves that require different dosing for kids. Etc. etc. Your premise is basically a joke, sorry.

Also, the safety profile is not demonstrated at all, because we have no LONG TERM safety data.

Prior to this vaccine, the FDA spent on average ~10 years approving new vaccines. Phase 3 is for a very specific purpose: To evaluate the tradeoff between safety and efficacy. It IS a tradeoff--there is no treatment that has no side-effect, and the entire point of long-term phase 3 studies is to ascertain exactly what that tradeoff is.

In this case, not only are those studies not complete, but the companies running the studies blew up the placebo arms so we have no actual control group to understand the safety/efficacy tradeoff.

MANY MANY medications and treatments have even made it past phase 3 but in "phase 4" (which is what folks in the pharaceutical industry call the rollout phase of a newly-approved meidication) problems become apparent. For one example, oxycontin was approved as a "non-habit forming opiate painkiller". Do you know what happened there?

Vaccines themselves have often caused long-term safety issues that were totally unknown prior to approval. There's in fact an entire medical school textbook about this: https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Vaccines+and+Autoimmunity-p-9781118663431


ExcessBLarg! posted:

Are you absolutely serious?

1) Kids are basically immune to covid.
2) Kids that get exposed and beat the bug get natural immunity.
3) Natural immunity is likely to be durable, possibly life-long (did you know that those that recovered from SARS-1 were immune to sars-cov-2, like 15 years later?)
4) Even if 2 & 3 were wrong, 1) means kids are at ~0 risk today, and it's really dumb to take v1 rushed medication for a disease that poses zero risk but has unknown side-effects.

You're wrong. They blew up the placebo arm: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2774382

There is no longer a control group in the study.

Further, the studies are ONGOING yet the vaccine is ROLLED OUT.
