You want kids to get injected with these products when the risk outweigh the benefit??
Did you say herd immunity?! Is this argument around 2 years old? Get vaccinated to protect yourself and the others around you so we can contribute towards herd immunity.
You can not get herd immunity with a product that doesn't prevent transmission and Infection.
Everyone gets infected and rather easily with the new variants.
Long term effects take 10 years to manifest.
The CDC V-safe data showed a 7% rate of severe adverse effects.

If you read the OP's source and the sources in my signature, you'll see that the risk is less than 0.002 percent. And even then it's the risk of something that require bed rest to get over.
And I don't remember ever advocating for kids to be vaxxed, but that's just the kind of argument that I'd expect a Brandon loving gun grabber to make.

And they're not wrong. The entire reason that covid has caused so many problems is that there wasn't widespread immunity to it.

The word that you're looking for here is "reduce". Here's a source ((Link)
Everyone gets infected and rather easily with the new variants.
But the vaxxed get sick at a lower rate, and have shorter periods of sickness. They're also significantly less likely to be seriously sick. Same goes for people with natural immunity.
nobody would agree to get vaccinated with a product where the risks outweigh the benefits.
There is no herd immunity from these vaccines that neither prevent transmission nor infection. And they don't reduced significantly either of them.

I think that you're confusing the word "risk" with the word "harm". There is a 0.002 percent chance of something happening that does almost zero harm with the vax.
The symptoms are mostly just a slight shortness of breath and palpitations. It feels like mild anxiety.

Sources in my signature show otherwise, they also substantially reduce the risk of serious sickness, and are you seriously trying to counter my peer reviewed scientific paper with a blog entry from India?
There is nothing in your signature to show that vaccines prevent transmission and infection or significantly reduced them.
This is madness
Covid herd immunity not possible during our lifetimes. Expert explains why

Then you clearly didn't read them.
Link 4 "One dose of COVID-19 vaccine can cut household transmission by up to half"
Link 5 "Study ties COVID vaccines to lower transmission rates"
This is madness
This is is SPARTA?
Reasons, please
Covid herd immunity not possible during our lifetimes. Expert explains why
A Indian blog entry with cherry picked quotes taken out of context proves ... that an Indian blogger can cherry pick quotes out of context?
As per my previous comment, I don't personally think vaxxing kids is particularly effective, but the government disagrees, as do the parents and kids who put pressure in the CDC to start trials.
Link 1 & 2 are useless and say nothing.
Link 4 "One dose of COVID-19 vaccine can cut household transmission by up to half"
Link 5 "Study ties COVID vaccines to lower transmission rates"
But we know that the vaccines do not prevent or significantly reduced transmission and Infection.
How is it possible to get herd immunity when the vaccines don't provide sterilising immunity themselves.

The mistake you are making is that you think everyone else is a layman when it comes to science and medicine.

Link 4 and link 5 say otherwise.

Herd immunity doesn't mean that there is no virus circulating, it means that a sufficient number of people won't get seriously sick if they are infected.

I'm not American.
The mistake you are making is that you think everyone else is a layman when it comes to science and medicine.
Given that you didn't understand the difference between Risk and Harm, I'd say that you have a basic high school level understanding of these things at best.
You literally linked me into a blog entry thinking that it was a serious scientific piece. By all means, raise the bar and I'll meet you at whatever level of scientific discourse you set.

None of the young people, who are most at risk from these shots,
if we choose to do the same deep dive into a subject and come out with understanding. Modern society with internet has made this possible.
Herd immunity now seems impossible. Welcome to the age of Covid reinfection
The world should not have discussion over 'heard immunity' as it is not going to happen, considering the type of coronavirus mutations that have occurred over such a short period of time, an expert has said

Almost three years into this plandemic, I still wonder where all the bodies are. I can still count on two hands the people I know who got covid, two have multiple severe comorbidities and came through it describing a bad cold. No offense to anyone who lost a loved one, but I'm not seeing it where I live.
I'm just fascinated by the fact that Alberta's leading cause of death is "unknown"... how scientific.

I think that maybe you're confusing me with the federal government.
The reason why children are being vaxxed is to reach herd immunity (and to a certain extent to mollify public opinion). Arguing with me over whether or not this is possible is largely moot, since I'm simply telling you why the government is doing it, not advocating that it should be done.
I repeat, as I've had to do so more time than I should, I'm not involved in vax production, distribution, research, or policy. My field is elsewhere.
Of course, the articles that you're quoting largely depend on there being a large reservoir of covid in the community from which new mutations can arise. AKA, unvaxxed people who don't socially distance. The government thinks that it can vax enough people, and get enough people to socially distance, in order to prevent that from happening.
The articles that you're quoting from are largely out of date. They were based on predictions from the winter of 2021, and their conclusions haven't been born our
If you look at the data from the UK and EU, where herd immunity has largely been achieved, through a combination of vaxxing and natural immunity. It's why many places have pretty much zero restrictions, while the US is talking about mask mandates and potentially even lockdowns.

Overall, herd immunity will likely never be achieved with COVID-19. The emergence of variants and the waning immunity after both vaccination and natural infection will mean populations across the globe will always be susceptible to a certain degree.
