Soon parents might get to decide whether to vaccinate their young children against COVID-19, and according to Canada’s top doctor they’ll have to consider more than just the safety data

“It is a complex set of factors,” Dr. Theresa Tam, the said chief public health officer, said in a news briefing Friday.

Once the company submits its findings to the government, Health Canada and the National Advisory Committee on Immunization will look carefully to determine if the vaccine is safe and effective for children. “If you extrapolate from that to COVID-19 vaccines, I think there will be an even greater concern among some parents about getting their kids inoculated against COVID-19,” he said in an interview Friday.He said parents should consider other factors when weighing the risks and benefits of the vaccine, including the unknown effects of “long COVID.”

“We will see children in the hospitals, as well as some rare but serious cases, and the numbers of those can be significant if there’s a lot of viral activity,” she said. In Canada there have been 774 reported instances of myocarditis and pericarditis, inflammation of the membrane around the heart, as of Sept. 17, out of 54 million vaccines administered so far.

Tam I’d be very careful and legally worried if it turns out that the long term safety data turns out to be bad and you were on the front line promoting this.

She is useless left the pandemic door wide open. She even was involved in drafting the federal plan. Yet no recommendations for masking distancing and contact tracing for thousands of travelers returning to Canada from highly infected countries.

Vaccinating young children with an unproven drug cocktail is not a good idea, and I am shocked that the government is pushing for it The horrors of this madness never cease...

Trust this women get the kids vaccinated NOW.Oh buy the way what's in the vaccines and what are the side effects,she has no idea.

How about children's stronger immune systems?

Florida governor says parents can send asymptomatic kids exposed to COVID-19 back to schoolFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday announced that the state has put out a revised rule which follows a 'symptom-based approach' to quarantining students, meaning asymptomatic children exposed to COVID-19 in classrooms could be sent back to school by parents. Thanks Dr DesantisDestroysFlorida In the US there must away to sue or charge him with a wrongful death lawsuit. He is willing putting people lives a stake, the data shows masks and vaccines work. Just to keep some uneducated people happy. This should be criminal. If you live in Florida (or any state with a Republican Governor & Legislature), your life is in grave danger. Get out immediately.
