I’ve gotten 3 calls from the state of NC reminding me that vaccines are available for my 8 and 11 yo children. My pediatrician isn’t pushing them and is open his wife and 3 kids haven’t and won’t get them. My “yay I’m getting my kids experimental medical treatments” friends have all gone silent on Covid now asserting it’s time to move on. 🙄

No one in our house has or will be getting these stupid big pharmacy subscription plans. No one alive is unaware they are available. My husband and I added to our will it won’t happen even over our dead bodies for good measure. It does give me an excuse to write the state a nasty email each time they call. In 10 years I’m going to FOIA myself for entertainment. 😂

Next up: New vaccine mandates for kids to go to school! Because government will control everything it can, right up until they are forced to stop.

50 years of Joe Biden. Decades as a Senator, 8 years as Vice President and now President and he's solved absolutely nothing, but has created a crisis after crisis and lied repeatedly to further his political agenda and maintain his power and control over the American people.

At what point will they realize? Clearly never.

A common theme in this pandemic: The price of moral certitude shouldered by those least equipped to pay it. That kids were used as pawns is reprehensible.

There is an untold story and likely little research about the rise of antivaxxers, in response to how governments and health agencies handled the Covid theraeutic.

The facts that:

1. my doctor was forbidden to tell me his true thoughts (or risk losing his license),

2. the fact that they lied about the data,

3. The fact that unrelated professions (speech therapy, chiropractors, etc...) were all forced by their colleges to not say anything that might disparage uptake.

4. they hid adverse effects,

5. they lied/bluffed about it being safe for pregnant women (despite the fact they don't even recommend cold medicine for pregnant women),

6. most politicians turned cloak on their word and enforced mandates (regardless of what we were seeing the rest of the world).

7. The fact they censored all opposition, got highly qualified doctors silenced from society...

I'm a highly educated reasonable person, who now doesn't trust our institutions anymore. My children will not be receiving their next routine shots - and it's not because I don't trust the older vaccines, I no longer trust the authorities that are delivering them. I don't trust informed consent anymore, and therefore wouldn't put it passed them to mix the covid vaccine in with routine shots.

Lying and coersion destroy public trust. We often expect this from our politicians but certainly not from scientific bodies, and in 2 years they've struck a massive confidence blow that took a century to build.

A quick google search indicates I'm not alone - https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/how-distrust-childhood-vaccines-could-lead-more-breakouts-preventable-diseases - they really really sh#t the bed, and there's likely a serious story here that the medical community needs to learn from.

Someone should study the 325K who got the shot for long term complications!

That Elmo ad was actually very helpful at convincing my kids (age 7 and 10 at the time) that they did NOT want the “vaccine.” I eagerly showed it to them on my iPad and asked them to watch it and ask themselves the question, “are these people talking to me with respect and treating me like an intelligent child?” They were totally disturbed and annoyed by Elmo and co, and I never heard another complaint about feeling social pressure from their vaxxed friends.

It's extraordinary that you have dug so deep into covid but not into the other vaccines on the schedule.

The TX Children's Hospital in Houston vaccine promotion has almost been as relentless as the "we are experts at treating children's heart conditions" is now.

Funny that, as I have raised 3 kids in the past 20 years in this town and I don't remember TX Children's ever promoting itself as a "heart center."

Parents are continuing to protect the world at large. Government! Keep your mits off our kids!

My two girls are 13 and 19 (sophomore in college). Neither one is COVID vaxxed, and they never will be. I even declined the HPV vax for my youngest and I’m now angry I was talked into it for my oldest. Despite ALL the pressure her university threw at her (no mandate, thankfully) including tuition reimbursement (partial), cash, and athletic tickets, she stayed strong.

Then this VAERS data is of even greater concern considering the few wee ones who got vaxxed:

VAERS data from Dec. 14, 2020, to Sept. 9, 2022, for 6-month-olds to 5-year-olds show:

☠️ 3,730 adverse events, including 166 cases rated as serious and 6 reported deaths.

☠️ 5 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation).

Note: The CDC uses a narrowed case definition of “myocarditis,” which excludes cases of cardiac arrest, ischemic strokes and deaths due to heart problems that occur before one has the chance to go to the emergency department.

☠️ 26 reports of blood clotting disorders.

☠️ 43 reports of seizures.

The risk-reward ratio is horrendous.

I think 325,000 is criminal.

Also: "Even the HPV vaccine, which is more controversial because it is designed against a virus that is generally transmitted sexually, is now taken by about two-thirds of all adolescents."

It isn't just controversial because of how the virus is transmitted. It is because the side effects were hidden deliberately. Guardasil was playing games with the 'placebo'.

It is controversial because Drs are not being honest and presenting the benefit/risk tradeoff.

those parents who got their kids vaccinated with mRNA vaccines would probably agree with their kids getting sex change operations.
