4 reasons why Children shouldn’t be vaccinated for COVID-19
No one can deny that Vaccines have been our best line of defense against deadly illnesses for more than 200 years.
Last June,
The WHO stated before that since the children tend to experience mild disease
symptoms compared to adults, they aren’t in urgent need for vaccinations. “More
evidence is needed on the use of the different COVID-19 vaccines in children to
be able to make general recommendations on vaccinating children against
COVID-19,”
1- Kids are
less likely to acquire SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, than adults.
In addition, the risk of death or other bad outcomes is low for children.
Between March and October of 2020, among those
between the ages of five and 14, the risk of dying of Covid-19 in the United
States was 1 in 1,000,000. For young adults ages 15 to 24, the risk of dying
from Covid19 was 9.9 in 1,000,000.

2- An
emergency use authorization may not be appropriate. The entire premise of an
emergency use authorization is that, when faced with an emergent biological,
chemical, radiological, or nuclear threat, the Food and Drug Admininstration
can allow products to be used based on lower levels of evidence than
traditional approvals.
A key provision is that “there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives.” There’s no question that Covid-19 is an emergency for adults, a catastrophic disease that becomes more deadly with advancing age. But it isn’t that for children.
3- Vaccinating
kids to slow the spread of the pandemic cannot be justified if adults are
choosing not to be vaccinated. The risk-benefit calculus suggests that adults
will derive more benefit from the vaccine than children, because the virus is
more lethal in adults.

4- At last,
it is clear that the vaccine side effects, which are absolutely justified in
adults full disclosure, I have been vaccinated may be a tough sell to children
and parents simply because the absolute benefit to kids is very small given the
low absolute risk of developing severe Covid-19 or dying from it. So parents
ultimately want to do what’s best for their children and there’s understandable
concern about not wanting to cause them any harm.
