COVID vaccinations vs. other childhood vaccines

ReyOso

Anyone claiming they won't vaccinate their kids because of the dangers of rare side effects or that COVID isn't "that"

Vaccine companies are not liable for their COVID vaccines. This is an emergency

Blue Ghost

For all those thumbs downers, if it's so safe why not announce full liability?

They'd be not getting the type of sales normally either way without Covid

You say they're making a killing, stock price says otherwise

Not enough data to support that claim either way.

So, this is a case where your kid had a cold & you assumed it was Covid, right?

There's no long term data for anything regarding covid-19.

Powerbait DPM

5/16/21 10:40am

That’s totally crap. The risk of death from COVID to a kid does not justify the risk of vaccination. There is no need

Blue2thebone

What risk of vaccination? What does that even mean?

ReyOso

5/16/21 10:43am

You don’t seem to be a rational person so I won’t even play your game. I am rational though my family has had all

Blue2thebone

Did you read the original post? 300 kids have died from COVID.

ReyOso

Someone who says what risk of vaccine is the definition of someone who isn’t rational

I don’t know why some people pick positions and bury their heads in the sand.

My daughter had both the chickenpox vaccination and the pertussis vaccination..

Don’t lots of people who had chickenpox get the shingles vaccine?

The Count

5/16/21 8:48am

I think you have to be 50 or older to get that vaccination, right?

How long is long enough?

Charles Darwin

5/16/21 8:59am

Is 5 months long enough?

ochobeeguy

5/16/21 9:03am

There have been hundreds of thousands who got the vaccine before that

Charles Darwin

5/16/21 9:07am

Are you willing to take responsibility for anything that goes wrong?

ochobeeguy

5/16/21 9:14am

Wrong on the government claim. How long is long enough?

Charles Darwin

5/16/21 9:19am

12.5 years? Are you willing to take responsibility?

garyfan

5/16/21 8:55am

The vaccines have been out for less than a year. Are there long term effects?

ochobeeguy

5/16/21 9:03am

You're afraid of long haul vax side effects but not long haul COVID?

ReyOso

5/16/21 9:17am

I'm actually afraid of both. Why would you say I'm not?

ochobeeguy

5/16/21 9:33am

It’s not even equivalent. One is the long term continuation of actual symptoms

Charles Darwin

5/16/21 9:43am

Were people worried about thalidomide after 5 months is availability?

CougarThug

5/16/21 10:26am

This is a vaccine, not a drug. We've been vaccinating for generations.

ReyOso

5/16/21 10:40am

And we have been using drugs for how long?

CougarThug

5/16/21 11:32am

The comparison isn't the same thing at all.

ReyOso

5/16/21 11:57am

Thalidomide was never approved in the united states

mRNA is actually not a vaccine from my understanding.

It’s not brand new. It’s been developed over decades...

ochobeeguy

You realize we have a pretty good idea of how things react with cells?

Your entire stance.

I’m guessing you don’t surround yourself with people

Just 5 days ago we had scientists say they don't know if vaccine prevents spread

ochobeeguy

This risk aversion is absurd though. we don’t know everything about anything
