Yeah but chickenpox isn't as easy a route to attention-seeking so nobody cares about that one.

Remember RL told us he was transferring half the child population of England to A&E because of novid.
Chickenpox is much more dangerous if you get it later as an adult
I only got about 6 pox when I got it (as a kid).
I must just piss all this stuff. Come on Ebola, let's go you cunt.
Why were the Guardian highlighting this?

Before COVID I doubt even hypocondriacs knew their NHS number, we needed to vaccinate a shitload of people quickly and this was the best way to do it.
Took my daughter for her “preschool jabs” yesterday and she absolutely screamed the doctors surgery down, and pinning her down has certainly traumatised us both. She won’t be getting any useless injections on my watch.
I’m starting to think there’s zero point in me having the covid vaccine too. I’m relatively young and healthy, so covid won’t kill me. And it doesn’t last forever, so it’s not like I’m securing the antibodies for when I’m 60+ and might die from it. It would literally be for other peoples sake, but if they’re so scared of catching it they’ll be vaccinated anyway. I dunno, will probably get it just because, but I don’t want particularly it.
I'm a twit
Not everyone who's vulnerable can get it.
What a mess of a post.
Why do people suddenly think they’re smarter than the last hundreds of years of medical progress?
We literally eradicated Small Pox and Polio within our lifetime and Baz who’s spent the last year going for a test twice a day thinks he’s not going to bother with the vaccine.
Spikey/Yevrahs sister. The kids have TB jabs, whooping cough, bcg etc. Why the fuck do you care about this one?
The reason to get it is because there’s literally absolutely no reason not to. That’s why the only response at this point is ‘Fucking nutters’.
There's no reason not to slap yourself either. Fucking nutter.
I make decisions based on risk. There is basically no risk to my kids from Covid. The vaccine seems like an unnecessary ordeal and an unnecessary risk. There are several countries not giving young people the vaccine after advice from their scientific experts.
I'm pretty sure our own Government was dead set against it until recently too.
Edit: yep
Edit 2: also note that I said I'm uncertain. I didn't say I won't be getting them vaccinated.

Another crank you've linked to in the replies. It's not experimental.
There’s a risk-reward that has to be evaluated. That will come from trial results, the MHRA and the JCVI. Not spastics on twitter.
Twice a day? I’ve had 3 tests, all before visiting my parents.

It would be great if people would read what I'm actually saying rather than trying to read between the lines.
I haven't transformed into an anti-vaxxer over night. I will be getting the vaccine (if I can now) as will my Mrs. I'm just uncertain about getting the kids vaccinated because they're of minimal risk and there's a fair number of medical experts voicing their doubts.
Again: uncertain.
If data emerges that shows a low risk, then fair fucks, off we go to the Vaccine Centre.
All of those things you've highlighted pose a risk to kids, COVID doesn't. We're not going to completely eradicate it, we'll have vaccinated more than enough people to have herd immunity by the time we get down to children, nearly all the vulnerable are protected, the reaction to the vaccine seems to get worse the younger you are, so beyond 'SCIENCE innit', what's the point?
I have a son. I’ll be taking my advice from the experts not “well covid doesn’t harm them anyway”. Neither does rotavirus, pertussis, measles etcbut we happily advocate for people vaccinating their kids with those.
You really need to stop calling science a cult, Yev.
It can be questioned but the scientists tend to have numbers to draw their hypothesis on. You're just a man in a hot tub with a broom handle jammed up his arse.
Young people do get worse side effects because their immune system is better. Whether that continues into childhood... who knows.

Oh sorry yes, Linda who calls it experimental can't be fucking questioned as a source. You're having a laugh.
Superb heel turn from Spikey.
Matt Hancock would recommended triple vaccinations for all kids if he had am acquaintance prepared to take the contract contract.
We were always going to make gains on this Super Thursday but it really has been relentless. Look at the melts running scared with 'ooo but what's the risk' and 'haha look at the person who tweeted it, they have a flag in their name'
"Snide jab" is a bad choice of phrase in this context, Spikey.
Idiotmouse should probably vaccinate his kids, but if I was 7om I would want to know the extent of its natural Asian immunity before potentially compromising it with Western medicine.
Idiotmouse probably will, but remains uncertain.
I nominate Don. First nomination.
Spikey, if you want to be such a realist, do you think they're not giving it to young people because of scientific experts thinking young people don't need it or they don't have enough or want to pay for young people. Remember when the WHO was saying no masks because they didn't have enough masks for themselves?
Do we have a SCIENCE representative in here to set us straight?
No scientists, but more engineers than we know what to do with. Typical.
