I have been otherwise occupied for a while, but recently I saw a report that the incidence of myocarditis in children during the Pfizer vaccine trials was very low. I'm wondering if this data changed your thinking regarding vaccinating children.

Hello my friend

My thinking has changed in terms of will I vaccinate the kids or not, in line with the changing times around us. If Boris was offering a proper course of vaccine, I probably would take it up now. It might be too early to call a trend at this time but anecdotally more and more reports of long-Covid in previously asymptomatic children are being registered. Breathlessness and extreme fatigue that greatly impact schooling. shock

Oh boy that's not good. I was not aware of the long Covid problem with kids, but I saw a report that post-infection vaccination helps alleviate the symptoms of long Covid. Also, on the "natural immunity" front, I saw a report that up to 20% of the unvaccinated who catch Covid do not achieve "natural immunity".

Have you seen data on these issues?
