Parents Grapple With How Long to Wait for Their Children’s Second Shots
The New York Times ^ | Dec 2021 | Cassandra Willyard

Posted on 01/04/2022 9:21:45 AM PST by CondoleezzaProtege

When Dr. Joshua Ishal got his 5- and 7-year-old daughters their first doses of the Covid-19 vaccine last week in Queens, he joined millions of other parents in protecting their 5- to 11-year-old children since the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was authorized for this age group in late October.

Dr. Ishal, a dentist who lives in Great Neck, N.Y., never questioned whether he would get his children vaccinated, but he has been wavering over the timing of their second shots.

The clinical trials that tested the Pfizer vaccine separated the doses by three weeks, which is why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that interval. But emerging data suggests that a longer wait bolsters the immune response in the long run. What’s more, the extra time may reduce the risk of myocarditis — heart inflammation — a rare but serious side effect of the mRNA vaccines in adolescents and younger adults.

Health authorities in Canada recommend that children wait at least eight weeks between doses. In Britain, kids wait 12 weeks for the second shot.

Parents getting the jab for children are abusing those children.

I cannot imagine, being a parent of a young boy approaching adolescence, forcing them to have an injection that is five times more likely to cause serious heart issues than it is to have them, as part of an extremely low-risk group, risk exposure to the virus.

What do you say to your 10 year old boy if they are part of that 13% of myocarditis cases caused by the injection that become cardiac cripples?

What would you say to yourself?

I am enraged that our country put people in a situation where they have to make this kind of Hobson’s Choice.

And in this case, it isn’t really a “Hobson’s Choice” because they don’t feel they have the option to refuse it.

I can tell you that a hell waits for some parents of any child that dies in a non-accident within a few days of getting these shots. There will always be a tortured “what if” of regret in their minds for the rest of their lives, even if the cause is unknown for sure, or supposedly something else. All for preventing a cold.

[[Protecting? From what?]]

From the whopping 0.0002% chance that the child might die /s

Seriously, Newsmax had a doc on who,gave that figure for,kids susceptibilty to dying from covid. And parents are freaking out over that minute chance? I know no parents wants death to happen, but my goodness, the kids have an almost 0% chance of dying, what more .do,they want? The vaccines probably present a,greater risk harm than covid does to,the kids

Unless your kid has pre existing conditions where COVID could actually threaten their lives, if you are shooting up your kids with this poison shit you are a horrible parent. You are abusing your kids.
