Of course polio was a savage killer of children. As that article you linked to points out, it was a childhood disease, known as 'infantile paralysis' that killed predominantly children. It killed thousands of them each year, and the way it killed them was decidedly savage. In addition, it paralyzed tens of thousands - again, almost all children. Polio has always been recognised as one of the most savage childhood diseases known to man. Edited October 14, 2021 by GroveHillWanderer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think we should push through younger children being vaccinated more quickly without proper care and precautions? Honestly, if even 1 child dies of blood clotting syndrome from a vaccine they didn't need (for themselves) then I think that is far worse than 1 million 60+ aged people dying naturally of covid. Or would you trade 1 child's life for a few elders' lives? And shouldn't the elders have been vaccinated already to protect themselves? It isn't about empathy here, mate. It is about rationality and logic. Also, ETHICS. Some people are showing a blatant disregard for the safety of children, just so (I suspect) they can get back to enjoying their retirement sucking beers in the beer bars. You've got to be kidding. I sure hope. What a terrible post. Stunning you'd throw 1mm elderly under the bus like that. Incredible. Especially since it'd be possible a bunch of them got the virus from unvaccinated children.

I love people who say "absolutely false" and then lie. Israel is NOT at an all time high for cases: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/israel/ More to the point, I said if everyone were vaccinated, the virus would go away. Israel is far from 100% vaccinated. And you can see the impact of increasing vaccination levels in Israel on case numbers. Vaccination reduces cases. Having said that, Singapore is a mess because they dropped restrictions too soon. Edited October 14, 2021 by Danderman123 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scott Posted October 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2021 There has been a fair amount of either unsubstantiated or misleading information posted. Leeway has been given because Covid is still relatively new and vaccines are certainly new, but a few points need to be clarified. First, vaccines do prevent infection from Covid. Breakthrough cases are still the exception. If you do get a breakthrough infection, you will almost always fare better than an unvaccinated person. You will be infectious. Second, the mRNA vaccines are not experimental. They are fully approved for certain groups. mRNA technology has been around since the 90s and in the early 2000s it was used in human trials for a number of vaccines. From those trials there is absolutely no reason to believe there is any long-term effect. For those who are hesitant to take a new vaccine, there are traditional ones available. At this juncture, the odds of defeating Covid look bleak, however, historically we have been fairly successful at eradicating or severely curtailing diseases as long as there isn't a vector species that is capable of harboring and reintroducing the virus. Much of the attempt to find the origins of the disease is to answer this question. The virus is 94 or 96 similar to what is known in bats, but is it the same? Diseases like smallpox and polio exist only in people. If Covid is the same then it is possible to eliminate it. Any group that isn't vaccinated or isolated from the general population is a risk for continuing the spread. This includes children. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote from the article: "The study also found that the protection the vaccines offer against transmission wanes over time. Three months after having the AstraZeneca vaccine, those who had breakthrough infections were just as likely to spread the Delta variant as the unvaccinated." So, unless you're getting jabs every three months, well, think for yourself if you can. But, in your defense, the study isn't peer-reviewed like all of you always demand of us freedom fighters, so it's fake news for now. Also new data coming out of the UK showing higher case counts per 100,000 vaccinated vs 100,000 unvaccinated. I don't have a link ATM.
