A ‘Children’s Wave’

Adi, 7, receives her first vaccination last night in Tel Aviv, Israel after the country approved vaccinations for children aged 5-11

This morning.

Via RTÉ:

Israel has begun rolling out Covid-19 vaccines for children aged five to 11, becoming one of a handful of countries to inoculate children so young as it seeks to ward off another pandemic wave.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has said the country is experiencing a “children’s wave” with about half of the recently confirmed cases among children below the age of 11.

While the campaign for younger minors was set to officially start today, doses were already being administered by last night.

    Forget the Israel part of the story, they’re too far gone.

    The bit further down about India is much more interesting.

    India logs smallest rise in Covid-19 cases in 543 days despite festivals

    “Even after Diwali, we are not seeing a surge,” said M D Gupte, a former director of the state-run National Institute of Epidemiology, attributing it mainly to the presence of antibodies in a huge majority of Indians through natural infection.

    “I think we are much safer now.”

      Yeah sure didn’t India have to see half a million of their people die to achieve the temporary immunity too. #winning

        466,147 to be precise.

        That’s 0.03% of their 1.3 billion population.

        We’re already at 0.1% of our population dead at over 5k

        We haven’t done a great job at protecting anyone.

            So only countries who’s records do not suit your narrative are to be questioned is it?

            Of course the elephant is the room is Africa- low vaccination rates and very low infection rates- why?

          2. Cian

            Africa
            1. has the lowest age profile of any of the continents. The median age is 19.7
            For Europe the median age is 42.5
            2. is dirt poor; they don’t have the same level of medicine as we do; DRC has done 306,299 tests for a population of 99 million; (Ireland has done 8,614,740 test for 5m) . Only one African country has more tests than population (Réunion)

            Link to India’s deaths being way undercounted:

            People die Kim.

            You didn’t care either until it potentially affected you.

            Also, I think you need to rethink the “Cardassian” moniker.

            Kim The Tribble perhaps?

        1. Janet, dreams of an alternate universe

          considering the state of people’s lungs from heavy pollution to start with (particularly Delhi) , the state of public health are (private is excellent), the absolute impossibility of social distancing unless you live in a village and a real struggle around sanitation for many that figure could be a lot worse

      You forgot to mention they also have a different treatment protocol, rather than relying on ventilation, they issue early intervention therapeutic drugs (that have been suppressed by regulators in the West in favour of mRNA vaccine).

    Something for the anti-vaccine BS’s:
    How to de-program yourselves..

      Deprogram from what? Empirical data? There’s enough scientific evidence out there now, you don’t need any ‘theories’.

      1. Cú Chulainn

        Back to the cave Chris. You’ll be happier there. You’ll be lucky to get to 40 years, but you will be happier.

    1. Diphtheria Tetanus Whooping Cough (Pertussis) Hib (Haemophilus influenzae b) Polio (Inactivated poliomyelitis) Hepatitis B (dose 1)
    2. PCV (dose 1)
    3. MenB (dose 1)
    4. Rotavirus oral
    5. Diphtheria Tetanus Whooping Cough (Pertussis) Hib (Haemophilus influenzae b) Polio (Inactivated poliomyelitis) Hepatitis B (dose 2)
    6. MenB (dose 2)
    7. PCV (dose 2)
    8. MMR
    9. MenB (dose 3)
    10. Hib/MenC
    11. PCV (dose 3)

    These are all the vaccines children get at present from birth, all free, via their GP. Most of us plebs who comment here probably had a couple of these, and the BCG too. Where’s the outrage for all these new vaccines? Where’s the outrage for the 11 vaccinations children get?

    Look at the amount of vaccines that are 3 doses too

    I guess Facebook and YouTube weren’t about in our day. *Sigh* the fun we could have had.

      1. Kim The Cardassian

        You’re asking that question because you dont know the answer and are hoping that they weren’t lol

        Also they’re not longer emergency authorised. Do you know what emergency authorisation means?

        incidentally, without googling it, can you tell us all when the first research on mRNA technology was published? I bet you cant and I bet you’d be surprised at the answer.

        1. Rominick

          You got me, I’m completely convinced.
          Nothing about this whole setup is fishy, I’m off to get my jab.

          Can you even admit that something is off about this whole situation?

          1. Kim The Cardassian

            Why do many commenters here feel that you’re either 100% with them or 100% against them?

            There are definitely things happening that I disagree with. There are things that I question and there are things that Im ok with due to a mix of experience, knowledge and research.

        2. Chris

          It doesn’t matter when the first research was published These mRNA treatments are new. Vaccine’s need vigorous testing and trials, 8-10 years. These were rushed to market, with fraudulent data.

          1. Cú Chulainn

            Everything is new once. Needs must. Or, you could choose to die. Oh, you already have decided that you’ll be ok, and to hell with anyone vulnerable who gets it from you and dies. Nice one Chris.
