That's a very small chance of dying of covid, and that's not even taking into account children who were already in poor health/ had co-morbidities, so the number is quite a bit lower when talking about healthy children. These numbers are certainly not to the point where we need to be mandating the vaccine for school children.Responsible adults get their kids vaccinated for all sorts of things.
I never claimed an adult shouldn't take the vaccine because of this new Pfizer data. If people on the forum had it their way though, I bet they would rather this information be covered up and not released, just so people don't use it as an excuse not to get vaccinated. The ends justify the means. In this manner, people here are acting like Christians covering up their ears, not wanting to hear information. They would prefer this information is kept covered up and somehow they have become shills for big pharma, which is the opposite of what places like this forum used to be. It's such a shame. No matter which way people want to interpret the data, Freedom of Information Act releases should always been seen as a good thing. The more information we have to assess a situation, the better, and this will always be the case.
COVID is just new to the list.
Get the hell over yourself...and please don't breed.
