Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization's revised guidelines, the new guidance calls for the Pfizer-BioNTech offering due to "Lower reported cases of myocarditis/pericarditis ... compared to Moderna Spikevax."
What myocarditis/pericarditis? This is a conspiracy theory. The vaccines are safe, bigots. Take your poison and shut up.
Tempest in a teapot folks. It rarely happens (1.5 cases per 100,000 vaccinations) and it's rarely serious when it does. Compare that to 1 fatality for every 50 people who test positive for covid. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/canada/
Read on:
"The highest rate of myocarditis reported in Canada in association with the Pfizer mRNA vaccine has been for males aged 12 to 30 years following the second dose, with about 1.5 cases per 100,000 doses in B.C. Most receive conservative or no treatment and have no serious outcomes." http://www.bcchildrens.ca/about/news-stories/stories/myocarditis-pericarditis-and-the-covid-19-vaccine
"Up to and including September 24 2021, there were 812 cases of myocarditis and/or pericarditis with reports submitted to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and Health Canada from over 56 million administered doses of COVID-19 vaccines" https://www.alberta.ca/assets/documents/health-myocarditis-and-pericarditis-following-covid.pdf
1-in-60 based on the chart you linked to. Still, these are bad numbers. However, this post is specifically talking about myocarditis in young men. Are young men dying of covid?
There have been 19 deaths in children. They don't publish data on the number of those that were already on the verge of death.
This has been identified as a 0.002% risk, for most healthy kids the risk would of course be much much lower.
Now they're talking about vaccinating babies. And we have people defending this as moral.
A society that uses little innocent children as shields for geriatric adults is sick and perverse beyond words.
According to Figure 7 on this page https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/epidemiological-summary-covid-19-cases.html 8 children under 12 and 8 children 12 to 19 have died of covid in Canada as of December 3, 2021. I agree it's safe to assume most or all of them were vulnerable, but not necessarily "on the verge of death".
Currently "Outbreaks of COVID-19 in Ontario’s elementary schools are at the highest point in the pandemic, surpassing the third-wave peak when skyrocketing cases forced schools across the province to pivot to online learning after the April spring break.
The province on Tuesday [Dec 7 2021] reported 219 active COVID outbreaks in elementary schools, a number experts say signals the need for greater protections to keep students in school and prevent further learning losses and disruptions for families." https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2021/12/08/covid-19-outbreaks-in-elementary-schools-hit-record-high-why-we-need-to-pull-out-all-the-stops-to-protect-in-person-learning.html?rf
Not everyone in the schools is healthy. Vulnerable children attend school too, and some of the adults are vulnerable. It's not hard to imagine that's how at least some of the the child deaths occurred. Vaccinating 5 to 11 year olds will reduce the risk to vulnerable children as well as the adult staff in the schools.
The same Figure 7 mentioned above shows that over 11,000 Canadians under 80 have died of covid, and over 5,000 of them were under 70.
I don't think so. You'd better provide some proof.
