Parents who are considering whether to vaccinate their child against COVID may have heard about the risk of a rare side effect called myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart tissue that has occurred in some teenagers and young adults who have received an mRNA vaccine. These parents may be wondering, “Is this something I should be worried about for my child?”
Here is what scientists know: Vaccine-related myocarditis is
extremely rare; estimates vary, but the highest figures suggest there
have been fewer than 200 cases per million fully vaccinated males ages
12–15, the youngest age group for which such data currently exist. Only
about 30 cases per million have been reported in vaccinated females of
that age. Pfizer, whose mRNA vaccine was recently authorized for use in five- to 11-year olds,
says it did not observe any myocarditis cases in its clinical trial for
the latter age group (it would be nearly impossible to design a trial
large enough to detect such a rare effect). Scientists expect it to be
even rarer in 5–11-year-old kids compared with teens, because
myocarditis from any cause is less common in the younger age group. The
vaccine dose authorized for that group is lower, as well.
are you crazy? how can you ever take responsibility for that?!

(the original report was 'withdrawn' just before the FDA meeting about giving the vaccine to 5-11y)
the studies showed a 19x greater risk by 12-15y
on the
other side 'incredibly rare’ among children

The work does not tackle the spectre of long COVID, but other studies suggest that it does occur in children — including in those who had mild initial symptoms or were asymptomatic — but less frequently than in adults.
ReplyDeleteDespite the very low death and intensive-care rates, Buonsenso hopes that schools will embrace measures such as masks and improved ventilation, and that parents will focus on immunization — for either their children, where possible, or themselves.
“When adults are immunized, fewer children are infected,” he says. “We need to do as much as possible to reduce COVID-19 infection in children.”
no I am not crazy but you are either crazy or are ignorant
