even though you getting the vaccinations can shed it to those people? it's how the measles outbreak happened at disneyland a few years ago (and why the majority of people infected had the vaccine). go ahead and vax up though if you think it is helping you, but a lot of these diseases/viruses you vaxxed up for started disappearing rapidly before any vaccine. have you ever thought about following the money behind the vaccines and why certain ones have been added or why certain states started removing exemptions?
That strikes me as misleading statement. Quarantine is still necessary but once that timeframe is over, the risk of transmitting via vaccine is far less than remaining unvaccinated without knowing whether you're shedding or not. By knowing when I'm shedding a virus by deliberately getting a vaccination jab, I minimize the risk of shedding the virus unknowingly while enduring minimal symptoms to someone whose body may not react as favorably as mine has. Again, this just strikes me as just a common, decent, easy to do thing on behalf of your fellow community whose well being I would assume you care about. Also am I to be lead to believe that the reason we don't have say universal healthcare or an updated infrastructure nationwide is because of money funneled to pharmacy companies to administer vaccines available to every U.S. resident intended to preserve their health and well being opposed to remaining unvaccinated? That's what you're arguing? Follow the money? EDIT: This is where follow the money lead me. Thanks bro.
It's not about what I believe. More than 95 % of people have been exposed to Covid (and have antibodies, https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20220330/cdc-most-americans-have-covid-antibodies). Covid is not a statistically meaningful threat to children. There is no need to to take any steps towards mandating Covid vaccinations for children. And certainly no need for mask mandates or school closures. All things the evil teachers unions have been pushing, against the interest of children. Teachers unions are anti-children and anti parental rights. Have a nice day.
https://nypost.com/2022/02/09/teachers-union-head-randi-weingarten-is-covids-most-evil-official/ Teacher’s union head Randi Weingarten is COVID’s most evil official By Matt Welch February 9, 2022 5:11pm American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten is responsible for continued masking in schools.Stefan Jeremiah for New York Post RANDI WEINGARTEN There will very soon come a time in this miserably long pandemic where the only sizable group left wearing masks by order of the government will be the cohort threatened the least by COVID-19 — school-aged kids. And for this anti-science, anti-education, anti-childhood-development outrage we have one person above all to blame: American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten. During an MSNBC interview Tuesday, Weingarten tried to sustain the gaslighting fiction that she is “in favor of an off-ramp on masks” in schools, while contradicting that claim in the very same paragraph. “The real issue becomes . . . is the spread low enough so that there’s no dissemination or transmission in schools,” the union chief said. “That’s why I like what Massachusetts has done, because what they’ve said is that on a school-by-school basis, if there’s an 80% vaccination rate, then those schools can lift the mask mandates.” Poor Randi: Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker Wednesday pulled the rug right out under her arbitrarily and unreachably high vaccination standard (recall that the vax percentage for 12- to 17-year-olds is still just 56% nationwide) by announcing the removal of the state masking mandate altogether. There has been in recent days a glorious stampede away from pandemic restrictions in the very Democratic states that have always been most fond of them — California announced the end of indoor masking mandates Monday. Connecticut, Delaware, Oregon, Rhode Island and New Jersey have all scaled back restrictions over the past week. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul ditched the onerous vax-or-mask requirement on businesses Wednesday. Even Democrat governors like New York’s Gov. Kathy Hochul are starting to remove COVID-19 mask restrictions. James Messerschmidt By far, the two biggest predictors of whether a given school district during the pandemic has been open or closed, masked or unmasked, have been the size of the local vote margin for or against Donald Trump and the comparative strength of teachers unions. There are 13 states that still have mask mandates for schools; all but Nevada favored Joe Biden in 2020 by at least 10 percentage points. New York, California and Delaware — three states where teachers unions are especially powerful — are extending the kiddie mandates long after the exponentially more at-risk adults are free to do what they please. This is the exact opposite order such liberations should go. People under the age of 18 comprise 22.1% of the US population, yet not even 0.1% of the COVID-19 deaths. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fewer kids 5-17 have died from the coronavirus (497) than have died from pneumonia (618).Thanks in part to Weingarten’s influence — remember, she was at the White House on day two of the Biden presidency — teachers got to the front of the line for vaccination, not that that prevented her from backing foot-dragging efforts on school-reopening by affiliated locals in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC. Demanding that student mask mandates remain in place until their vaccination rates hit 80% raises the question: Who again are we aiming to protect? Every adult has long had access to the vaccine, the kids aren’t getting seriously ill in significant numbers, and any immunocompromised individual can use effective mask protection (unlike kids, who understandably have a hard time keeping even their less-effective masks in place all day). Weingarten and teachers unions have been pushing for children to keep wearing masks until schools hit arbitrary vaccine rates. AP Photo/David Goldman Those of us parents who have chafed at living in Weingarten-dominated environments can at least enjoy the schadenfreude of her playing a central role in the current Democratic flight away from pandemic restrictions. After all, she was literally at the scene of the Dems’ biggest recent trauma — the shock loss of favorite Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe (at whose final campaign rally Weingarten spoke) to relative unknown Glenn Youngkin, who ran on parental dissatisfaction with public schools. It’s no accident that the main driver behind the sudden Democratic push away from restrictions is a guy who almost lost the same day of the McAuliffe debacle: New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, who was startled to discover that pissed-off Democratic parents were ready to vote Republican now that Donald Trump is no longer on the scene. Weingarten’s influence may be on the wane, but it’s still evident in two places that matter: big-city school districts (which may well continue masking even after the state mandates go away) and the CDC itself. Director Rochelle Walensky, who has been successfully bullied by Weingarten in the past, insisted yet again this week that “now is not the moment” to remove mask mandates on kids as young as 2. On behalf of those of us still living in the dwindling number of toddler-masking jurisdictions, here is my plea to enterprising mask manufacturers: Please, please personalize the last masks with the most appropriate face — that belonging to Randi Weingarten.

It's typical to follow the CDC immunization schedule, but not required. It cost the government money (not make money) to offer free vaccination to children. What the CDC is doing is adding covid vaccine to the VFC. VFC is a federal program that provides vaccines for free to those that can't afford them. This is all normal and was expected. When the federal emergency ends (scheduled to end next year), covid vaccines are no longer provided by the fed gov for free. The private sector will pick up the cost. That leaves a bunch of kids that have no insurance or are underinsured, out. CDC naturally is taking the step to close that gap, as it has traditionally done for children's vaccines. Does that make it more likely for the State gov to mandate it? Nope. It hasn't changed anything. Once the state of emergency ends, Covid vaccines will remain likely free for all (unless some insurance decided to not cover them) as it is today. The interim schedule for covid vaccine remains as it was before.
There's a lot of misinformation you are getting here. Breast milk is very low in vitamin K and since people have started refusing the shots, the rate of fetal bleeding has increased leading to more deaths. You don't need a newborn to get a heb vaccine - that's true. The reason they try to do it early is because many people will never get it otherwise. The measles vaccine actually reduces your risk for RSV, not increases it - so that's really bad info you have. And the reason the people who were placebo with the COVID vaccine got the vaccine is because you can't stop people from getting a vaccine. The idea that the COVID vaccine, which contains only parts of the COVID virus is somehow more dangerous than COVID itself...why people think this to be so is really perplexing to me. Don't get it, that's your choice. But don't ask other people to say it's a decision based on science.
The entire Republican business model is based on being able to deceive at this point. It’s why they’re so terrified of private social media companies being able to control what gets published on their own platforms.
Your post is entirely incorrect. Our teacher's union haven't pushed for Mask Mandates or Closures in close to a year. Teachers unions are absolutely not anti-Children. Our union has done much to serve the students. The union's main job is to look after the interest of the teachers. There is nothing wrong with that. Teachers should have their interests protected. Those interests often run hand in hand with the interests of the students. Each union in each locale is different. The national unions are basically an umbrella. The local unions are where things get done. And it is different in each place. Our unions have set up teaching standards for teachers and ways to hold teachers accountable. They have addressed and fixed safety issues on campus which is good for teachers, students, and parents, alike. They have reduced waste in the district to increase funding for school nurses, counselors, psychologists, security, etc. That is good for students, teachers, and parents alike. You are correct it isn't about what you believe. You seem to believe some things that aren't accurate. I asked about the science questions regarding the mRNA shots because you claimed they don't reduce the threat of COVID-19. My questions are related to the science of the mRNA shots. You haven't answered them.
I never claimed that. Please don't lie. I have been very consistent in saying that old and vulnerable people would be well-advised to get the shots. Also, I have come to the conclusion, based on data and evidence, that the risk/reward ratio is not clearly positive specifically for young, healthy men and for children (and even more so if they have already had Covid at least once, which presumably more than 90 % of people have). This conclusion is consistent with the recommendations (or non-recommendations) of several countries.
FranchiseBlade said: The situation is that it will help continue to minimize the threat of Covid-19. AroundtheWorld said: So ignorant FranchiseBlade said: That is exactly what it does AroundTheWorld said: Nope Not at All So yes did claim that it doesn't help reduce the threat of Covid-19. I wasn't lying.
Forcing children to get vaccinated does not reduce the threat of Covid to those who might actually be threatened by it. That's a very different statement from the one you put into my mouth.
You're right. My mistake, I should have wrote, only part of the virus which is what I meant to say. Fixing that now
