Thanks.
So what's your opinion? You seem very knowledgeable about the subject, but you're just posting boilerplate. Do you think children should be vaccinated at this point, given what we know and what we are still being surprised by?
It seems to me that the wider we expand the use of the vaccines down to less at-risk people, the more we are exposed to these side-effects. Do you have a sense of where the line is between "needing" the vaccine and socially "pushing" the vaccine?

Dr Zelenko calls child vaccine mandate ‘coercive human experimentation, crimes against humanity’
If it were me and my kids were under 18? I probably wouldn’t just yet. I’m very cautious when it comes to kids. I’d get it done, but I’d wait a while longer and continue looking at the clinical trial data. At the same time, I do respect that parents have a right to make that determination for their own kids. The clinical trials have been done with the 12-17 age groups and they appear good. And that’s normal to do testing with increasingly younger groups with any new medicine. I do wish they’d have waited for full FDA approval (likely the end of this summer anyway) to start those. The additional time to monitor for any serious effects would be nice to have.
I’m not firmly against giving kids one of the COVID-19 vaccines, but personally I’m increasingly cautious the younger the kids are. Based on what I’ve seen so far, if someone were intent on giving their 15 year old a vaccine, I would probably push them toward either the Pfizer or Moderna shots. Firstly from a pro-life standpoint (J&J used fetal stem cells during R&D and testing, whereas the other two did not), and especially so if the child were a girl due to the risk of clots with J&J. Now, quantifying that risk, it appears far lower than the risk with certain hormonal birth control pills. But there’s still some level of risk for clot issues. Adults can weigh that risk for themselves (albeit poorly most of the time as most people don’t judge risk very well), but as I said, I’m particularly cautious with kids.
