    Of all the bullshit anti-vaccine content, this is one of the most bullshit The serious adverse event rate for most vaccines is at or well below 1 per million, the death rate for children from COVID-19 is orders of magnitude higherhttps://twitter.com/emmakennytv/status/1330970982190886914 …

    Quantas chief says vaccination will be required for flights. That means they are happy to injure one in twenty thousand children. Far more than Covid ever will! #quantas I’m absolutely horrified.

        how do you keep sane? When discussing/debunking I often have the feeling of "this is not even wrong - where to start". Anyway I admire your patience, keep it up and keep us informed!

        i agree on this account, but i am cautious about long-term effects. we can’t see into the future, and we have not had an approved mRNA vaccine before. surprising adverse effects are not in any way unusual. when it’s about prophylactic use, caution is warranted imo.

        What sort of “long term” are we talking about, here? Do you have any specific concerns about mRNA vaccines, w a plausible mechanism leading to increased risk of serious AEFIs? I understand that a newer platform is a source of uncertainty, but, personally, I don’t see it.

        a while back, I tweeted that people should get flu shots, and ended up with someone in my mentions who ran an account RTing everyone who was like "got my flu shot and my arm kinda hurts" and claiming serious harm. these folks are worse than footballers.pic.twitter.com/xE6eyy4OhR

        To my knowledge, no studies in children yet. So probably none of the vaccines will be licensed for use in children, or am I wrong?
