3 shots for 2 year olds, yikes.

I wonder what number of shots they would have to move to before people became suspicious of the cost benefit analysis. There has to be some environmental impact making all these 5 billion throw away needles.

Good question. Would you rather use plastic cups and cutlery for convnience, or a single use needle needed to administer some medication. I'm geniuenly curious which way would the votes go.

The impact is negligible, just more virtue signaling.

Kids get a ton of vaccines when they’re young - part of the reason why infant mortality has declined in the West.

I hear Myocarditis is absolutely huge in the 4 and under age group!

Just trying to get out in front of this.

Not just children under 4. There is a study going around that found 12-15 year olds are ~5X more likely to be hospitalized due to vaccine induced myocarditis than hospitalized due to covid.

Some of my verbage was off but from the article:

"boys aged 12 to 15, with no underlying medical conditions, are four to six times more likely to be diagnosed with vaccine-related myocarditis than ending up in hospital with Covid"

"About 86% of the boys affected required some hospital care"

Table 2:

Age 12-17 boys Comirnaty (Pfizer): 10.6 per 100,000 doses. 1/10000.

do you have any source for this ?
