Agree. I was skeptical in summer—especially since the early data was so confounded. But since then, long before Omicron, we had high-quality data strongly suggesting this is a three-dose primary series. (Happens with many vaccines!). We must equitably vaccinate the world as such.https://twitter.com/priscillagilman/status/1466440935445782530 …

Many. See below from the ACIP meeting. Also, infectious diseases are, well, infectious. Vaccinating children to protect them from the burden of being in the transmission chain that can sicken or even kill their family members is a perfectly good reason. https://twitter.com/Percy43555292/status/1466465048285614091 …pic.twitter.com/jNjTOJnDlJ

Polio was asymptomatic in the vast majority of children and only around .5 to 1% of children were paralyzed by polio. Never hear anyone complaining about polio vaccinationshttps://twitter.com/greg_travis/status/1466189876257341445?t=BQEUzcPqHzI_oKUvHkbGXg&s=19 …

Replying to
@bobbywarnsiii in England and Wales in 2020, 1 child under the age of 10 died from covid-19. Aged 10-14 it was 4. 15-19 it was 10. 16 kids out of 13 million. That is .000001 %. So a bit of a difference there. - Show replies

that's a nice story if the vaccines actually prevented transmission.
-
It reduces transmission! Esp with 3 shots.

Covid is not deadly for children. Vaccines do not entirely prevent transmission. And the side effect profile of these vaccines is worse than any other, with long-term effects on children still unknown.

It's nice that your criterion is COVID being "deadly", like a child getting pneumonia (which doesn't even count as "severe illness" by covid categories btw) is no big deal in your world

If I recall correctly, children get rubella vaccinations to protect fetuses. The disease is rarely harmful to the kids themselves. https://www.cdc.gov/rubella/index.html …

Exactly. Most of the breakthrough cases we are seeing in our highly vaccinated town are from unvaccinated kids to their parents. The vaccines are far far better at preventing transmission than has been widely reported. Rarer to see vax-vax transmission than people think

Don’t we just need the parents vaccinated then?
