It’s close to, what isn’t trivial is injecting a drug which isn’t necessary not have any longitudinal data

Obviously many counterarguments to that, but one interesting point - what does the longitudinal data say about COVID-19 infection in children?

Nothing required because little to zero effect in children. I know which path I’m going along

Well, we know that the acute impact of COVID-19 in kids is much more severe than the acute risk of side-effects from the vaccine. Why do you think the risk of vaccines is higher long-term?

Acute impact is rare, your own article states that, which is a known. Big pharma aren’t accountable for their fuck ups, so do not care. Vaccinating this demographic is purely about money

That's a very confusing series of points. They are indeed rare, but appear much rarer from the vaccine, that's the point. As to pharmaceutical companies, I don't really care about them one way or the other - it's more about evidence in my opinion

And whats the evidence as to the long term impact of the vaccine in children?

So, that's certainly a question worth considering. What evidence we've got: 1. long-term safety (6+months) in adults 2. short-term safety in kids 3. evidence from previous vaccines

From this, we can make reasonable a reasonable inference about the likely risk to children from the immunization. We know that it's likely to be very low, but putting an exact figure is quite hard

Which previous vaccines in children have used this technology? Everyone is saying it is new, so presumably there aren’t any with any long term data?

Depends on the vaccine. mRNA vaccines are new in a sense, but they are also not entirely new technology (been in development for 25ish years). Other vaccines mostly use fairly similar methodology to previous shots

That’s kinda my point. AZ I’m ok with Mrna - development for 25 years and only approved because of an “emergency” no long term data@on humans, deffo not in children.

Actually, I think it's fair to say that we've got quite reasonable long-term data on the vaccines themselves in humans at this point. Initial trials were started 12 months ago, and even the larger studies have been running for 6-9 months at this point
