However, it is not the same thing as whether or not kids should get an original series of vaccines *before* they encounter SARS-CoV-2. Kids under 6 months have among the highest hospitalization rates from COVID (second only to adults over 75) and this virus has not become a mild virus.

I think the issue of 'harmless' is important to qualify when talking about the same scale of investment in annual updating and dissemination as the flu shot though - if the marginal benefit of the COVID booster is not on par with the flu annual booster, there should be a point at which we pause...

and every person that tells you something like 'oh, you were vaccinated and still got it' clearly does not know how this works- yes, you have to get it, one way or another. educated system drives the virus into the ground sooo much faster so you don't even feel sick...or very sick...or die too sick

I wonder if we worded this in their preferred language: vaccines are the big, fast guns that protect the good guys from the evil viruses. Taking away vaccines is the same taking away your guns! Be a patriot. Get vaccinated. For guns and country. Or something.

They don’t believe in the germ theory of disease.

viruses may not educate at all. They might simply kill their host.

I’m 100% for vaccines but they don’t always educate harmlessly. Just because a risk is rare doesn’t mean it’s not a risk. A more accurate assertion would be that vaccines educate with minimal harm to the overall population, despite some risks—which are still fewer than with unattenuated pathogens.

as a physician, i agree entirely with this.

yes, every medication or vaccine has potential side effects, but for the vast majority of people, they are beneficial.

Please tell them your opinion on vaccine access for all. We only have 2 days. https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FDA-2025-N-1146-0001

So what you're saying is the FDA has adopted a policy where the death rate from COVID for children under 6 months old is going to increase.

I very much appreciate your very clear and helpful posts.

Vaccines are doomed. Republicans hate anything that educates.

No one talks about what hits the immune system gets from these diseases. It truly is insane.

Correction: Not and "oversight," it is active and deliberate sabotage.
