The COVID-19 pandemic

[jeffster]

Maybe a better idea is just to vaccinate children (if ever approved) that have serious health issues, and are more likely to benefit from a disease that, for the most part, ignores children.

That’s about as far as I believe it should go.

One thing I do find odd about some folks here:

I had mistakenly thought many of you were on the socially liberal side (occasionally it’s more obvious who’s economically liberal, but that’s nothing to do with this topic).

What I have realized now, is, that most of you are willing to fight for young children being vaccinated, even if the risk of serious illness is tiny (more so that random deaths, in fact). As I mentioned above, I am OK with vaccinating young children if they have certain health conditions.

But I can’t believe how selfish of a country we have come, that we’d think of vaccine low risk individuals rather than share our resources (and vaccine) for developing nations that need it 100x more than us. Not a word of this is being discussed. Y’all talk about wanting to protect children from a horrible disease that, in all likelihood, will never do anything to them. Yet 100% with this so-called generous nation holding onto vaccines from the less fortunate.

I mean, I don’t even thing the PPC candidates would be that greedy, come to think of it.

You will offer your children better protection from this virus, and variants of concern (potentially new ones), by convincing yourselves, your leaders, and other countries, to stop peddling this vaccine for children and giving generously do poor nations.

Stop with the greed. It’s disgusting.
