Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

[WGCRider]

I’m really glad my lad is grown up and I’m not facing the decision some of you are as parents of young kids over the covid vaccine.

My lad was in the age bracket a few years back when there was the scandal over the mmr vaccine and it was not a nice position to be in.

We all do what we firmly believe is the right decision for our Child and it is taken with the best intent and love.

It really isn't that hard - every year kids get the flu vaccine at school. There's no uproar about that. This is no different.

Mask wearing indoors in supermarkets, shops etc dropping off rapidly in previously super compliant leafy Surrey. And basically now non-existent in the clubhouse. Well that’s it all over then and we are back to normal. Would be nice to think that and it were true…

Try Sainsburys in Godalming, still 85/90% mask wearing.
Farnham is obviously the home of the non-compliant!

They have a choice to have the flu vaccine. You’re right it is no different

Being masked in a fully masked supermarket is in no way 100% protection from contracting COVID., no doubt it is a step in the right direction but not foolproof.

Well, it is a bit different isn't it. Flu shots have been around for years. We know alot about them. We know nothing about any potential long term effects of covid vaccines. Like I said before, I happy to be a lab rat but not my child. I'm open to be told otherwise. I just want more information than what's currently out there

Everyone is different, kids are different, not everything is a simple as you like to make out.

''COVID-19 vaccine technologies have been studied for years and used in other treatments without issue.''

Are all those pro vaccinating kids, parents of school age children? If so, I respect your choice. If not, thanks for your input ???

Nope - Flu vaccine is different every single year

Its good that Parents didn't have that attitude when vaccines for things like Smallpox and Polio were first used, there would have been so many more children struck down by them. Of course it's a parents responsibility to make the decision for their children but hopefully they have weighed up the risk factors between possible effects of a vaccine and the virus.

A very very different outcome though from those diseases comared to covid for the child though

This doesn’t help! There were still side effects from Smallpox and Polio vaccines including deaths, not all parents were keen or actually had their children vaccinated.
Why not simply respect those parents in their choice in looking after their children.

Same here. My kids are teens now, they have been vacc'd but it was their choice. We too were hesitant about the mmr but they've had it with no ill effects. If I had a little one I'm not sure if i would be getting them jabbed against covid just yet, glad I don't haveto make that decision.

My daughter will be 5 soon. We haven't decided yet

But then look at the vaccine history , I had AZ early doors due to a health condition. Then when I came to have My second the blood clots had been found and they had been removed from my age group (under 40) as an option .. tbh scared me but I had My second

I don't know how I feel about my daughter yet , what's to say in 5 months it's deemed not safe

We didn’t have the benefit of Social Media which allows people to share their expertise with the world back than.

I'm not any more, at least as far as I know. But I have been and my view would have been the same then as now.

With the greatest respect it's easy to say that now but then you might have been more uneasy

It's impossible to say 100%.
