The long-awaited COVID-19 vaccine for children age 5 to 11 could be just a few short weeks away

came out that said that condition is way more common in COVID than the vaccines,” said Muthulingam.

As an infectious-disease physician, Muthulingam said she plans to vaccinate her children, ages four and one, as soon as she is able, as long as the approval process goes as expected. “I see how bad COVID is every day. I want to protect not only my children but the other children who may or may not be able to benefit from the protection of the vaccine,” she said—including kids with autoimmune disease or cancer or organ transplant patients.

Will kids get the same severe-flu-like symptoms that some adults developed after their COVID-19 shots? The data is not yet conclusive, as Pfizer is thus far the only pharmaceutical company to report data on its pediatric vaccine. But Muthulingam said doctors estimate that kids will not develop the same severe adverse reaction to the shot that some of their parents did. Pfizer found that kids 5 to 12 only need one-third of the dose that adults receive—“both because they are smaller but also because they have immune systems that learn faster with less stimulus,” Muthulingam said.

Muthulingam also weighs the possibility of a reaction against the multiple “nasty illnesses” that kids routinely battle at school and day care. “Part of socializing your child is training their immune system,” she said. “There’s a reason we give a lot of vaccines in childhood: because they mount this really robust immune-system response in this developmental phase and it takes less to do it.

U.S. pastors, advocacy groups mobilize against COVID-19 vaccine mandatesFrom the outside, First Harvest Ministries in Waveland, Mississippi, could almost be mistaken for a storage shed were it not for the steeple. Wonder how many of these con artists have gotten their parishioners to have all their assets willed to the church after death and they want the cash sooner than later. Faith and logic are not mutually exclusive; except for some it seems 😶 where in the bible does it say not to take vaccines

Gambian women's voices on COVID-19 vaccines: 'We are afraid'SERREKUNDA, Gambia (AP) — Oyster harvesting in Gambia is considered women’s work. It's a grueling task — they paddle rickety boats, then get into water up to their necks to lay nets. Many of the women are the sole family breadwinners, and that burden has only intensified with the pandemic's economic hardships. I understand their concerns. It’s a difficult decision to make when you are sole caregiver and provider for your family. There’s no one there to take your place if you get sick from either the virus or vaccine. Trying to make the best decision is difficult They can only afford Ivermectin. They will be fine. with another bullshit take on Africans labeled as journalism. Is the reason why there is 4% vaccine intake on the continent because people don't want it or they can't get it? 🤔 Easier to pretend it's the former cos it makes your core audience feel good about themselves.
