To vaccinate under 16’s in my opinion is pure stupidity and many of the parents that rush their kids to be jabbed follow the herd! It tells you something when many professional parents are those who won’t vaccinate their kids!

Offering the flu jab to kids now is laughable! Most who get colds always get colds and likewise with migraines etc. As my father used to say - get a grip and get on with it - FFS and toughen up!
Getting it, suffering from it and spreading it are three very different things. My 18 year old vaccinated son tested positive a few days after having an operation for appendicitis but had very few effects - his sinuses felt a bit stuffed up for a day or so. My healthy vaccinated 16 year old son got it from him and was pretty sick for over a week - like a bad flu. I am double vaccinated but was due for a booster and got Covid from them and was pretty sick for about five days, and my wife, who is 53, a doctor, double vaccinated and boosted, and healthier than all of us, got it from us, felt much sicker than me but after three days it was over.
Its not about how sick you are. All of us at some point were capable of passing it on. But vaccinations either protect or reduce the severity so that you have less chance of passing it on. So the more people are vaccinated, the fewer people will get it, the less severe the effects will be for those who do get it, the fewer the opportunities there will be for passing it on, and the lower the chance of variants being able to mutate. If we had all been vaccinated a year ago when the vaccines first came out, when the vaccine was far more protective than it it is against the omricon variant, we would have been done this pandemic by last June. And yet here we are, still in the midst of a pandemic, still arguing over whether we should get vaccinated, still cherry picking stats to back up bogus arguments, still restricted in what we can do and where we can go, and still dying. Stupid is as stupid does.
