But if certain schools make up their own little policies........maybe they need to back up their confidence in what they are doing. Lets say the govt is wishy washy in its wording about students...as it seems to be at the moment. IF the school is taking it upon themselves to make the rules......then fine, let them back up their policies. Isnt that fair? Fair whose being fair. If it was my school I wouldn't sign anything if the vaccine has been approved by W.H.O.

248900_1469958220 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine approved for at risk children aged 12-15 years. From Monday 9 August, children aged between 12 to 15 years old with either specific medical conditions, who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander or live in a remote community will be able to receive a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine Now...my son is not 'at risk' ....many many are not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

248900_1469958220 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The risk to children is miniscule. I see what is going to happen. Schools will reopen and say kids that are jabbed can come back...but those that are not cant. Inspite of ALL the evidence that they are not at risk some will be ostracised. This is now getting silly. Adults can get jabbed, teachers...parents...if they get sick from Covid they will be ok, right?? The vaccine stops us getting ill right? So let the kids begin learning again. Dont force them to get jabbed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you point me to any long term studies? They are loaded questions, and you know it, however I think back to my childhood when I had about five vaccinations, and NONE of them had any long-term studies done, and in particular the polio vaccine. It was trialled and tested in less time than the current Covid vaccines, and it proved a huge success. It was particularly poignant for me because I had two friends who were afflicted with polio and I ended up being the "carer" for one of them, in charge of pushing him around in his wheelchair in both primary and secondary schools. So I have had the two AstraZeneca vaccinations, and my Thai daughter is shortly to get her vaccine and I have no problems with it whatsoever. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
248900_1469958220 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 There is no comparison between the risk to children of Polio and that of Covid 19. This is well established now. The question is, do the benefits of administering this vaccine to kids outweigh the risks. You cannot answer the question about the long term implications of this, no one can. Not ALL scientists are in agreement about this. There are many that warn against it. I am a concerned parent....it reasonable to ask these questions. I find the almost religious zealotry surrounding these vaccines (not saying you) to be disturbing. Many Thai parents simply believe what is presented to them on the 6 o'clock news without question. Many are not aware of conflicting data or conflicting opinion. This seems to be intentional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not comfortable with this, but what choice do I have apart from moving her and it may be the same at others schools anyway? I was reading an article from the World Health Organisation which you should find interesting as I am also not comfortable in having my 12 year old daughter injected, also my 7 year old down the track as the science is suggesting it is not a requirement as they are at low risk. So why vax them if they are low risk ? The above said, those vaccinations should go to others who require it more than the kids in my opinion, like my wife. https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/searo/thailand/2021_09_30_eng-sitrep-203-covid19.pdf?sfvrsn=97de5f7b_5&fbclid=IwAR3lKoMTeg8uwbS_4EaG0-mn0elZpDk6I2l4bk49L-9WTwdLY-wLfS0pceg 6 hours ago, Johnny Mac said: My wife being Thai will of course follow protocol and just do exactly what she is told with no argument. I am sorry that is the way your wife is, that said, my wife will listen and trust my judgement, not follow protocol, so hubby 1st, governments last. I am sure she would be on the receiving end if she went the other way because I believe it's all about how you present the facts/science, not what everyone else says or thinks and to be honest, I have ZERO confidence in the Thai's. The above said, you should be able to reach common ground with your wife is she respects you and your opinion, but to be honest, I wouldn't stress too much about it, but it must be discussed at length. We haven't decided yet, but I know if I said yes, she would agree or if she said yes, I would ask why ? I have had 2 jabs of Pfizer, my wife is unvaxed and I have been gently trying to get her to get Sinovac and then AZ as the evidence is suggesting it is still 59% effective against Delta, considering everything else we have been told over the past 6 months, e.g. 13.8% efficacy was the last I checked before the 59%. So she is now leaning towards it, but maybe in a week, I don't push, gentle nudge, after all it's her body that is going to get injected. It's that, or wait for Moderna that we paid for back in June which I feel will be delayed until early next year after the October/November partial supply gets here which I would assume would go to the Hi-So's 1st, then wife down the line, and if she does get Sinovac and AZ then she can get Moderna next year as a booster if required or sell it. Good luck, but don't allow the wife to make the decision on her own, this should be a joint decision based on the science, not emotion or what others are saying or forcing upon you.

You have to remember that no vax (regardless of why) would mean she can't go back to school. Making it sound easy by typing it out on a forum and it happening in reality are two different things. I hope the link, information and my view assists you finding some comfort in reaching a common ground with your wife. Remember at the end of the day, if YOU are not comfortable with this, then you MUST be HEARD, your wife cannot just turn her head as if to say bha, this child is both yours so who says the wife gets to make the decision, sorry, not wanting to be a marriage breaker, but I wouldn't tolerate that and my wife knows it, suffice to say that is why we openly communicate, if she doesn't agree, she will tell me in a kind and soft manner of speaking, if it gets to a boiling point then we can talk about it after sex, joke aside, you really need to sit down with her and speak about it, as far as school/s go, if and when the time comes, if we say NO, and they want to try it on, then they will lose and our kids not going to school is not the end of the world, they will tell you that too, they are loving being at home, albeit as much as a gas that it's been, having them at school has it's advantages, quiet times ???? This vaccine fiasco will not be around forever as more drugs are being developed and will take over the vaccines I would think, that said, with time, everything blows over, you just have to stand your ground if you don't want her to be vaxed until your comfortable, a year or two or three, what's the worst thing that can happen, she gets it and has immunity or something like that. I think too much emphasis is placed on kids educations personally, not to mention the controls, take that away and your back in the box seat, suffice to say look outside the box, as for the wife, well what can I say, I don't fear mine, not suggesting you fear yours, but it does help to understand how to get them to agree through communication.

The un-vaccinated are not going to cause the virus to mutate as it can already affect them in its current state, it is the vaccinated that the virus has to work out how to make sick, and mutate in order to make them sick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't trust these new vaccines. My kids are adults already and can decide for themselves (so far they decided against it). I'm a teacher at a government school and already notified the director in not getting vaxed even if that means I can't teach. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
