Children, and specifically my children, are not to be tested on for a vaccine that is NOT needed for their age group and the risk associated with their age group!
The ethic of informed medical consent includes the right of individuals to accept or to decline a pharmaceutical product or medical intervention. This right has been universally affirmed as a human right by ethicists, medical societies, Virginia regulation, institutional patient bills of rights, and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
These are new pharmaceutical products and there are no animal studies or long term safety profiles. Specifically, it is not known whether these experimental products may cause autoimmune disease, allergy, cancer, reproductive harm, or cardiac, vascular or neurodevelopmental disorders.
In June, 2021, the CDC reported a “likely association” between injection with the mRNA COVID-19 shot and heart inflammation. The FDA subsequently required that a warning about myocarditis and pericarditis be added to the manufacturer’s insert. Myocarditis and pericarditis are inflammatory conditions that can lead to cardiac arrhythmia and death. Individuals have the right to decide whether the risks associated with this pharmaceutical product are ones they are willing to accept for themselves or their child(ren).
No one should be forced to take a medical intervention. This needs to be an informed decision made by each person, and in the case of minors, by their parents. It is the role of government to inform and highly recommend, but not force medical treatments and interventions. We don't know what we don't know, and in this case, we don't know what the long term impacts of the vaccine will be to children who are at a VERY low risk of being impacted by contracting COVID. The scientific data shows that the elderly are at high risk of becoming sick and death from COVID, but not children. The vaccination looks to be protecting the elderly from COVID caused hospitalizations and death. Children do not need this vaccine and it is unethical to force a new medical intervention on children that do not need it, and where we are seeing harm to children.
