- h_anna_h 5y agoThey are putting disproportionately and unjustifiably lot of effort in trying to verify the safety of the vaccine for children compared to teens or older. It should have been available for them along with the rest of the population. The argument that "there haven't been enough clinical trials in order to allow children to take the vaccine" is similar to the whole "there hasn't been FDA approval!!". Also, just came to my attention that you ignored the "You oppose discrimination. I'm immune but not vaccinated. Where's my immunity certificate?" part of tomp's argument. Why do you want him to take the vaccine despite the fact that he is not endangering others?

- h_anna_h 5y agoNot sure what your point is. The general scientific consensus so far seems to be that there is no evidence to justify the need for people who already had COVID to get vaccinated. If anything it is worse, as only around 15% of the world population is vaccinated. By getting vaccinated while you already have COVID antibodies you take the vaccine from someone who does not.
- TomVDB 5y agoThe CDC recommends getting vaccinated if you’ve had COVID unless there are medical reasons not. As for there not being enough vaccines around the world: I’m taking the US centric view, sorry, because the whole context of this topic is about NYC etc. We’re drowning in vaccines here, they are expiring while sitting in a fridge, and the logistics are currently just not there to rapidly move cold-store vaccines to another country.
