  Good effort from the people distributing The Irish Light, but this isn't The Irish Times or have any relations with that newspaper. From what I've gathered from the Irish Light's own newspaper this is a crowd-funded, private publication distributed by volunteers more by activism than subscription.

  This particular issue is also downloadable from https://irishlightpaper.com/, some interesting stories in there for sure.

  So cringe when I hear parents tell me they just vaccinated their toddlers or babies. Like how am I supposed to respond to that?

  Oh I too want to commit infanticide.

    The problem is that people are letting themselves get histrionic.

    "Oh! But what if they get COVID?!?!?!" what if they get covid? They'll be sick for a while and then they'll be better.

    It's a first principle of maintenance theory that every time you do something, there's a chance that something that worked no longer works afterwards. Even with excellent technicians, that's just the truth. That being the case, we need to be very careful only to take precautions we know are going to significantly improve outcomes because if we take precautions that aren't particularly effective then we introduce risk without reducing risk.

    So on one hand, we're giving kids an experimental vaccine that necessarily has very little history behind it because it just popped into existence a couple years ago. On the other hand, we have a disease we know doesn't really harm kids.

    This isn't a new train of thought for me. I felt the same about the flu vaccine for healthy individuals. Why would we get vaccinated for something that isn't particularly harmful that I'm likely not to get anyway, and introduce the risks inherent in injecting something man-made into my body annually?

      Yeah I just think the risk reward is nowhere near there for kids even with the fake padded data they give us. This is basically risking a child's health for the sake of the old and no real proof it even does that. Children's health should come before that of the elderly IMO.

      And if not the data should be crystal clear and not some meta analysis on cherry picked data.
