Canada authorizes coronavirus vaccine for children ages 12 to 15 | Covid-19 Special

Vaccinations save children's lives. They protect them against diseases like measles and polio. But so far, not against COVID-19.

But that could soon change. Canada authorized the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children ages 12 to 15.

Many countries are considering vaccinating kids 12 and above. Thousands have already taken part in trials. And with the results proving extremely successful - researchers are now looking at even younger age groups.

As a Canadian and mother of two teenagers, I am disgusted by this decision. I have no problem taking the risk for myself as I feel that the benefits outweigh the risks, but NOT for my healthy, fit teenagers.
Israel, Europe, and the US military are currently investigating myocarditis safety signal!! Myocarditis is serious!! Are we hoping to give an entire generation of kids heart failure???

EVERY SINGLE ONE WHO HAS TAKEN PART IN THE HARM OF CHILDREN WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEWS OUTLETS AND NURSES.

Why should they? They’re not even at risk.

When did an "order" or a "mandate" become a "Law"?? A law is an enforceable set of rules approved by the majority of representatives of the people who voted for those representatives to represent those peoples best interests. Mandates and orders are being issued by individuals who were not voted to represent the people. And they are promoting these orders and mandates as "laws". And they are not. Until people rise up and rebel in large enough numbers, such that it overwhelms the system of control, the people will be controlled by those with ulterior motives. All in the disguise of safety for the masses.

When it stops being more of a danger to their health than the virus is XD

Soon it will be 12 weeks and older. Think of the increased profits!

So if this is going to be approved by the fda whats the rush? Kids aren’t at high risk so why not approve first before administering? Would like to know the exact studies that were done besides number of children. We’re all ethnic groups tested? Canada is a very multicultural country so this is very important. Also were there sufficient amount of children with different allergies included in the study? When they say this wasn’t rushed what’s the time frame for this study? How long have similar studies on vaccines lasted for this age group?

I ain't getting that vaccine nuh uh

[gregkillam]

Ivermectin or Nuremberg?

Hmmm. Choices choices...

[francisco_tomas]

Are children in need for the vaccine? How dangerous is for them to be without a vaccine among a population of vaccinated adults?

Those questions seems more interesting.

Where did autism come from?? There was no such thing when I was in school in the 70's.

Question for parents wanting to get their kids covid shots: Are you concerned about possible long term effects?

[DeLorean]

Canada makes vaccines available to kids aged 12 - 15, but doesn't have enough supply to go around anyways. I'm 30, and got my second dose in the US last weekend. Meanwhile, my grandfather in Canada won't get his until July or August.

[nickkatknight]

So now children being included in the slaughter.

[lostonearth]

For Americans who are watching this who think vaccines are immoral and unconstitutional, just remember that George Washington was the man who lead the first vaccination campaign in America getting the Continental Army vaccinated against smallpox during the American Civil War.

[jackdonnellan]

Not big spreaders and don’t get really sick or die? Why waste these resources on them instead of helping India.

[the_dark_build]

Is there any way I can refuse if my parents are going to force it on me?(I'm 15)
