Weird one isn’t it. I’m pro vaccine but if my son was old enough to have it I have to admit I’d be 50/50.
Likely a psychological thing but I’d like to know how it plays out during development to adulthood. Even writing it doesn’t make sense but I think this is the level we’ve reached in terms of acceptance.
I know @radicalox suggested immense pressure on the JCVI from govt. to allow it but I’d not rule against a fair amount of pressure from the CRG et al. on not allowing it.
Can understand the logic/knowledge you’ve presented though.
Lots of research going on into Long Covid and how that is impacting on adults and children.
Then that has to be balanced against the risks of the "chickenpox situation" eg: Let kids get chickenpox (Covid) so they become naturally immune in later life. Then Long Covid is the adult chickenpox/shingles for those not immune or vaccinated. However that depends how many kids develop Long Covid problems..... its complex!
New research into treatment and diagnosis of long COVID
15 new studies across the UK will expand research into long COVID to support thousands of vulnerable people, backed by nearly £20 million through the NIHR.
