None of the young people, who are most at risk from these shots,
No, no they don't. If you'd watched Trump's whitehouse briefings you'd know that the main reasons for children being vaxxed was to reach herd immunity, not because of the benefits provided by individual immunity.
Of course, the actual risk level is minimal. Most just get mild cold or flu like symptom for a couple of days. Which is pretty common with vaxes. The greatest risk is mild heart inflammation. The actual risk factor is 0.002 percent, and the recommended resolution is simply bed rest for 3-5 days.
So the risk is marginal at best.
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.
The difficulty come in that the internet is full of people who are willing to take advantage of the simple fact that most people know very little about the subject matter, in order to gain clicks or subs, or in some cases to sell them fake remedies.
You are perfectly welcome to "do your own research", but you might come out less informed rather than more.
This isn't a new thing, just look at all of the people who buy fuel savers that supposedly give them 300mpg, or who buy those anti-5G devices. It's perfectly possible to put together an authoritative sounding document with flashy graphs and scary sounding phrases, and yet be speaking gibberish.
I've lost track of how many people on this site have fallen for hoaxes over the last couple of years.

You want kids to get injected with these products when the risk outweigh the benefit??
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.
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.
And they're not wrong. The entire reason that covid has caused so many problems is that there wasn't widespread immunity to it.
You can not get herd immunity with a product that doesn't prevent transmission and Infection.
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.

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.
What you don't seem to understand is that people are on here bringing an alternate view to what the mainstream has been saying. They never believed the mainstream sources to be telling the truth and yet... you keep pushing the mainstream
Reiterating that myocarditis is mostly mild doesn't change the ethical problem of coercing people with shots.
The very fact that many people got covid and could be asymptomatic really proves that this was a massive fuss over nothing.
The vaccines don't even work for long
Maybe the government made a big mistake with it's lockdowns/mandates and shouldn't be trusted. This is a conspiracy site after all.

The mainstream view isn't always wrong.

Sorry, but that's the moral equivalent of telling me that I should hand over all of my guns to Brandon because there's a ridiculously small chance that a random child might shoot themselves with one of them.
The bigger ethical problem is with people comparing the risk of mild sickness from the vax with the risk of serious sickness form covid.
Now, what was that you were saying about my gun concealed carry making you feel unsafe?
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
Herd immunity now seems impossible. Welcome to the age of Covid reinfection
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
What does it matter?
young people shouldn't be vaccinated for herd immunity
Not enough time passed to guarantee safety.
but would you risk your child with this vaccine?
If they missed their final exams, or wedding
or had to be on heart meds for life
coercive and propaganda
You are trying to peddle again some rubbish mainstream propaganda and a range of claims that have been refuted repeatedly over the last three years.
you were claiming that young boys 12-17, who are at higher risk from the vaccines than Covid,
I gave you several links but even without links you can't even use common sense.

Not that you've been able to provide a single reliable source to refute me, just bitchute videos from chiropractors, homeopaths and assorted nobodies.

If you go back and read the OP's source, it doesn't say that. What it says is that there is a statistically higher chance of a mild reaction tot he vax than to a serious reaction to covid.
There is a greater "risk", but the level of "harm" done is lower.
I gave you several links but even without links you can't even use common sense.
And yet the country with the most successful vax program - The UK - achieve herd immunity last summer through a combination of vaxxing and natural immunity.
Or do you claim that the UK doesn't exist now?

Herd immunity ‘will never be reached’ in the UK but Covid-19 vaccine protection is enough
Are you trying to play with the words 'risk' and 'harm'.
You may have ignored the earlier sources
in complete contradiction with what you claimed.

Playing no, explaining, yes.
When you vax a kid there is a slight risk of something that would cause mild harm.
If a kid gets covid, there is lower risk of something that would cause greater harm.
I could put this into a mathematical equation for you if that would make you feel better.
You may have ignored the earlier sources
I've read them, and disagreed with the science behind them. They're also out of date. The UK achieved herd immunity after they were published through a combination of vaxxing and natural immunity.
in complete contradiction with what you claimed.
So ... you're quoting the MSM at me as an unimpeachable source?
Does that mean that you're pushing the mainstream agenda, and that I'm the plucky outsider disputing the narrative?

I don't think that the UK has officially reached herd immunity.....unless you can show me a link that says they did?

That's especially funny considering half his sig links are from 2021.
The vaccine cult has made a cottage industry out of hypocrisy.
Anything he links you to that's older than 8 months, just tell him it's outdated and can be disregarded. That's his standard, after all.
It’s a textbook example of how natural immunity is really better than vaccination,” says Charlotte Thålin, a physician and immunology researcher at Danderyd Hospital and the Karolinska Institute who studies the immune responses to SARS-CoV-2. “To my knowledge, it’s the first time [this] has really been shown in the context of COVID-19.”
