What about kids who don’t get vaccinated. A UK estimate I read found between 12.5 and 14.5 percent of kids 2 to 16 still had covid symptoms 5 weeks after getting covid.

Minnesota has 95 cases of documented MIS-C. 2/3 of those cases in kids 6 to 19, 1/3 kids 5 and under.

As a population it’s rare, but so are bad vaccine reactions.

I think the influenza comparison is very relevant when talking about immunizing children and young adults. Influenza is a much more serious disease in children than Covid.

I have shown your comments on this topic are wrong or off base by providing links to actual data. Once again you make a claim WITHOUT any links to data to back it up. Talk is cheap.

For the record, I am not in any way opposed to vaccination. Quite the opposite. I am in favor of mandating vaccines for common communicable diseases in school children. But all vaccines have some side effects and some can have very serious side effects. The J&J vaccine can cause Guilliane-Barre syndrome, myocarditis, and other serious complications. Why any parent would allow their healthy teenager who had already a mild coronavirus case get any of the current crop of EUA vaccines is beyond me.

You have made it clear you don't think much of vaccines, and your touting some extremely rare and transient side-effects are what anti-vaxxers do while ignoring the widespread and devastating health crisis of having a novel, very contagious and dangerous virus circulating in the population. Too many people have that selfish attitude you espouse and that is why the virus has rebounded
