I see Pfizer are now testing it on 12-15 year old kids...many of whom will be going through puberty.
Covid Trials for Kids Get Started With First Results by Mid-2021
William Brown has yet to set foot in a classroom during his freshman year of high school -- kept at home, like many students, by the pandemic.www.bloomberg.com
Since the start of the pandemic to 22/12 in the UK 27 individuals below the age of 19 have died.
6 had no underlying health problems.
Whilst each death is sad I find it horrifying that anyone thinks this age group requires a vaccine against this virus and that its being tested on them.
What could possibly go wrong.
I think it is more to do with that the school age and student age groups would appear to be carrying the virus with little or no symptoms.
They are not alone by any means others across all age groups are asymptomatic but the numbers appear to be higher for children of school age and young adults in higher education. However for every young person that gets the vaccine is helping to stem the transmission rate. Helping to further protect the most at risk. Parents, Grandparents, friends and fellow bus travelling or class / year / school groups. The young in general have more contact with more people.
The interesting thing about the vaccines is that the manufacturers under the speeded up process rules for testing and approval are protected against any claims if there are any side effects days , months or years down the line. If they happen to make a bad batch via a manufacturing fault then they are liable. They are not liable if its found in a few years time that vaccine (A) caused damage to anybody that took that vaccine or for arguments sake their unborn children suffered some form of illness as a result of the parent having the vaccine.
Dont get me wrong i will have either vaccine when its offered. It goes against the grain a little when we have been told time and time again that the vaccines have gone through the same testing as normal just at an accelerated rate. So why the need of the European wide get out clause. Its not often you hear anything on the news about the indemnity that will protect the vaccine companies should anything go wrong.
