Oh my goodness I cried when my first baby got their first jabs. Such a big needle for those tiny legs, guess what, it was necessary and kid is crying because I didn’t let them eat a millipede . Kid will be fine

It’s a fucking COVID test it’s not surgery. Jesus fucking Christ! Get a grip!

“Slightly horrified”. Yeah, OK.

We had our 5 months old take an RT-PCR because indiangovernment put in a stupid rule that all passengers have to be tested regardless of age. Some countries are just being nasty.

Not necessary if the parents get tested!
