Very sad. Iām selfishly glad I got my 5 year old vaccinated. This thing isnāt as harmless for kids as some would like to pretend.

Youāre seriously buying into this shit?
My eleven year old had the vaccine because she wanted it. I respected her decision, but I gently explained the level of nonsense we are buying into.

Yes, I am. You may disagree with me, but Iām surprised by your hostile tone. Encephalitis is no joke. Fwiw, 11 year olds arenāt anywhere near as susceptible to that type of complication as those in the 0-5 year old range. Iām not in favor of mandates or anything like that. For me and my family itās the right decision; for peace of mind, if nothing else.

Sorry, I must have misunderstood. I thought you were surporting getting your child vaccinated.
āIām selfishly glad I got my 5 year old vaccinated. This thing isnāt as harmless for kids as some would like to pretend.ā
I donāt understand what youāre saying here. My 5 year old did get vaccinated. She actually wanted to. We also want her to be in school without worrying about when (not if) she does get COVID. Even if thereās a less-than-one percent chance of encephalitis, Iād rather not have that weigh on me. Vaccines greatly reduce chances of complications for kids her age when it comes to MIS-C and encephalitis; something like 90%.
If I had a preteen, like you, I wouldnāt be as worried as there isnāt a rash of deaths in that age group. But there have been about a dozen kids 5 and under (without preexisting conditions) who have died from encephalitis or other complications. Why roll the dice?

I didnāt know there had been so many. I donāt think there have been a dozen. Hopefully I am right.
Where are you getting that vaccines reduce the chances of encephalitis by 90 percent for five year olds from?
Why do you care so much what other people do?
As Drew said itās not a matter of if but when they are infected.

Six from encephalitis, and then another several from MIS-C, sepsis and pneumonia.
Sorry, the 90% reduction was for the broader condition of MIS-C (basically multi organ failure). I donāt know if that includes encephalitis, which is inflammation of the brain. In any event, you donāt want your child getting that either.
"The risk of children getting MIS-C can be reduced by more than 90 percent with just one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine," Lo said.

Anyone know how many 0 to 5YO died from encephalitis complications per month before Covid?
Why donāt you find out for us? Itās a rare complication with influenza, so Iām sure some did. However, if itās also a complication with COVID, which weāre all going to get at some point, why take unnecessary risks?

Has your kid been going to school all through the last couple of months? If she has, Iād put money on her already having had it.
The place where I work, we suddenly went from nothing to half the class having it. For a month, classes were opening and stopping and kids were out sick. In every class there was a third who kept coming ( when the class was open) and never got sick. And then it stopped. In the last monthā¦ā¦zero cases. Why would the cases stop when a third of kids hadnāt had it? I donāt think any young kid who has been going to school these past two months hasnāt had it. Not in Taipei anyway.
I donāt know. Itās such a weird disease. I know of nothing else in which such a large percentage of cases are asymptomatic in contrast to a sliver who have disastrous outcomes. My daughter goes to a private kindy not subject to the citywide shutdowns, so weāve been encouraging her to go since she got her shot but just today her class had a confirmed case so they shut down again.
Iām in Kaohsiung. We are where you guys were a month+ ago, so right at the peakā¦ maybe a slight decline in the last week.

A large part of that is that nobody has ever swabbed people en masse for all the pathogens they could possibly be carrying. I suspect that if you tested people for influenza/cold genetic material every winter, youād probably find a lot of asymptomatic cases there as well.

I donāt care so much, if at all, because thereās statistically no risk either from the vaccines or from the virus.
But, OK, Iāll drop out of this discussion.
This is just factually incorrect anyway. Not everybody gets infected with anything. Weāve been over this beforeā¦
Exposed to the virus.
Youāve been over your assumptions. The same assumption you used to say there was a decreased risk of myocarditis from Omicron you should also apply to infections. With the increased infectiousness of subsequent variants then over time the likelihood of infection increases. Certainly everyone will be exposed and most infected. So again, as per just about every single published study I have seen, the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks.
Or we could all get our advice from Andrew on the internet.
