The Alternative to Vaccinating Children Isn’t Just “Not Vaccinating” Them

Many children already have natural immunity, so doctors don't like the vaccine's utility. They forget that 10,000 babies are born in the US every day. The doctors have used their influence to spread fear and doubt at every step of this process, ensuring unvaccinated children contract the virus. The doctors have avoided a very important and obvious question in their comments.

They think people should get vaccinations at a certain age.

Since they don't give the vaccine to babies and toddlers, maybe they think it's time to give it to 5-year-olds. I don't know if they say this, and they've written misleading articles about vaccinations. The risk of severe outcomes for these children is the lowest of any children.

They think that vaccinations should begin in adolescence. I don't know if they say this, and they've written misleading articles about vaccinations. The risk of vaccine-myocarditis is worse for children in adolescence than it is for children in adulthood. The vaccine-myocarditis risk drops after 25 so contrarian doctors might think it's time to start vaccinations.

I don't think they know what these doctors think. They don't seem to consider how old a child should be before they protect them.

When they were able to give the vaccine to their youngest patients, pediatricians were overjoyed. The question of what age to vaccine children is related to another important question. I don't know for sure, but my gut tells me not that long. The most isolated children are the ones who will enter kindergarten. They will most likely be exposed to the virus throughout their lives once they've been in school for a while.

There is an obligation for doctors to be very clear when writing about children. There is a better way to protect children from vaccine-related diseases. They are going to collide with the virus. Even though the vaccine isn't perfect, it has been shown to lower the risk of severe outcomes. Millions of children are protected from the vaccine every year because of the doctors who oppose it.

The final question is very important and clear. The consequences of this will be unknown. Severe outcomes are extremely rare in children. Millions of time are added by rare events. Over 500 children younger than 5 years old have died in the USA. Some of these children need to be in the intensive care unit.

There will be consequences of failing to protect millions of babies and toddlers from the virus, and contrarian doctors, sheltered from the consequences of their words, don't seem to have given this a thought.
