    Very much this - also add rubella, mumps influenza etc The anti-vaccine crowd will be using articles written by doctors opposed to COVID-19 vaccines for ~years~https://twitter.com/JHowardBrainMD/status/1403830608384512000 …

    If you’re against vaccinating kids for Covid because the risk is “low,” are you in favor of vaccinating them against polio and diphtheria?

        My Grannie’s medical career, 1917-1970s, was transformed by vaccinations for common diseases. Also antibiotics, insulin, and—later—advances in anaesthesia. Those fools look to mid-19th century conditions as ideal.

        If we have a choice between natural infection immunity or vaccination, we should always pick vaccination. Why risk infection? We should vaccinate kids but few questions: When? Before HCWs & adults? How young? What vaccine, what dose, is booster needed? Need to ensure good RCTs!

        Worse: they can not only quote random doctors but the German Permanent Vaccine Commission STIKO (the official body für vaccine recommendations) that decided to only recommend the vaccination for high-risk children between 12 and 17 based on questionable arguments.

        Don't you think you're overdoing it by placing Stiko in a row with anti-vaxxers? Keep in mind that Stiko recommends vaccines against rotavirus which is not recommended im France.

        I would add that people are usually not born anti-vaxxer. Something converts them. So when people say "it's just this one", for some fraction of them that's not true.

        This. This makes me so very angry. Can the infectious disease specialists please be allowed the floor? Those doctors who are feeling their way through this need to listen to the real experts or just wait until the evidence is clear. There is incalculable damage being done.
