There has however certainly been way more cases of covid-19 among children than 500 000. Probably around 30-40 times more?

Re: "Probably around 30-40 times more?" 1) Read the sentence right below the highlighted orange text in the tweet you're responding to. 2) COVID-19 killed hundreds of kids, even with more mitigation and better healthcare than before 1963.https://twitter.com/AtomsksSanakan/status/1390169113578942464 …

3) COVID-19 caused >190,000 hospitalizations for kids, even with better mitigation + medicine than before 1963. 4) None of what you said changes the fact that by
@abirballan's 'logic', life-saving vaccines (ex: MMR) are unethical https://twitter.com/abirballan/status/1373689805867999235 … https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/history.html …pic.twitter.com/Os0IHhghr0

4. It might not. Your claim that the risk was the same is not true either though

Re: "Your claim that the risk was the same is not true" I never made the claim that the risk was the same. You're making the same mistake you did on the 'Sweden / herd immunity' point months ago: Attacking a straw man you made up. Feel free to address the actual point.

If you need the point spelled out for u,
@JacobGudiol, here it is again: By@abirballan's absurd logic, life-saving vaccines (ex: MMR) are unethical, since the pathogens they target kill only hundreds of kids per year, which on par with, or less, than the number COVID-19 killed.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

And since your comments strongly suggest you didn't closely look at what was being responded to,
@JacobGudiol:@abirballan is saying it's unethical to even run clinical trials that give COVID-19 vaccines to kids. Have fun defending that nonsense. https://twitter.com/abirballan/status/1373689805867999235 …pic.twitter.com/ea1ISduzLk

I responded to your comparison with the measles and that we decided to vaccinate children then. A comparison that is still way off when you look at the risk that you are avoiding with vaccinations

I mean, many countries vaccinate against varicella. Rubella. Mumps. All waaaay less fatal than COVID-19, but can cause long term health issues and the vaccines are safe

They are safe yes, we know that now. Making the call to use more untested vaccines is not simple though.

So presumably we should run studies on them at the absolute minimum, no?

Of course. I would believe that the mRNA vaccines turn out to be just as safe in teenagers as have been proven to be in adults
