I don't personally trust the Covid vaccines. They were rushed out in a time of crisis when regulations and requirements were relaxed to quell a panicking world population. I need more transparent and nonbiased testing before I can trust it.

With that in mind, properly tested and regulated vaccines like these ones, polio, flu, etc are fucking great. RSV is fucking terrifying for parents. Watching your kid struggle to breath is a miserable experience. If giving them a properly tested and administered vaccine will help less parents have to experience that then I am all for it.

RSV is only terrifying because of lockdowns. Had there been no lockdowns there would be no increase in symptomatic RSV…RSV is 100% collateral damage from covid policy. The fact that the good old boys at moderna will release and lobby for the mandating of a product to fix a problem caused by their last policy intrusions just shows how ruthless and effective they are

That’s what creating policy based on fear gets you, children had a 0.003% chance of dying from Covid, and those that did all had underlying health conditions. But instead of following the science we forced them to wear masks and separate them from classmates. And now we are finding out in a recent study in Israel that 16% of males who took the vaccine are getting myocarditis.

Science leaves room for debate, skepticism and argument, but this has become an ideology of absolutism that doesn’t allow for dissent, and that’s now how science works.

No. There was a 16-25% increase in emergency calls for myocarditis in males, not that 16% of males developed this extremely rare disease.

Further, additional recent studies have found that COVID does much more damage to young heart tissue than any vaccine, making the vaccine much safer than the risk of COVID. https://www.heart.org/en/news/2022/08/22/covid-19-infection-poses-higher-risk-for-myocarditis-than-vaccines#:~:text=During%20the%20one%2Dyear%20study,hospitalized%20or%20died%20with%20myocarditis.
