Sweden Health Officials: The ‘Benefits Do Not Outweigh the Risks’ of Vaccinating Kids Against COVID

If you’re a parent of young children and are feeling pressure to get them vaccinated against COVID, I urge you to stand firm.

Or move to Sweden.

Health officials in Sweden have decided against recommending COVID vaccines for kids aged 5-12, arguing that the benefits don’t outweigh the risks.

“With the knowledge we have today, with a low risk for serious disease for kids, we don’t see any clear benefit with vaccinating them,” Health Agency official Britta Bjorkholm said Thursday.

Studies have shown that the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are more likely to cause myocarditis in young men than natural infection from COVID.

Kids in high-risk groups can get the vaccine, and Swedish health official could change their recommendations in the future if a new variant makes it worthwhile.

Imagine that? A nation that is following the science, not promoting fear. I’m guessing that health officials in Sweden did what conservative pundits have been doing in the United States for two years now: looked at the data. The data shows that COVID is less deadly to kids than the seasonal flu. Also, a recent study out of the United Kingdom found that unvaccinated kids are at a lower risk of death from COVID than fully vaccinated adults of any age.

Instead, there seems to be a concerted effort to scare parents into getting their kids vaccinated here in the United States. Last month, the media claimed there was a surge in child COVID hospitalizations. It was fake news.

Why will they? ABBA, as far as I know is apolitical.

And Sweden has not locked down or forced any vaccination on anyone. In fact, the country is recommending AGAINST vaccinating kids.

Cut to the chase: Vax your kids, kill your kids.

But desperate Democrats undoubtedly think that gaining control of people outweighs the risks of vaccinating everybody imo.

Insights welcome.

The benefit is right there at about zero; any risk at all throws it out of balance.

Reminds me of the first time I heard Rush Limbaugh on the radio and thought, I'm surprised someone who makes so much sense would be allowed on the air.

Sweden is very strange, I was there one winter in the early 80s.

It was very cold and the ground reindeer got old.

Permanent heart issues, or fertility issues, autoimmune issues, or death are nothing compared to maybe getting the sniffles
