  1. 7,772 deaths from kids 0-9 out of 3.7 million deaths! Are they crazy???

    For those counting, that's 0.21%. Less than a quarter of 1 percent. Is this government overreach or what??

  2. Now they are trying to vaccinate little babies. WTF? Is that really neccessary? Aren't the youngest of the young safe from serious complications from covid??

    COVID-19 Vaccines for Kids Under 5: What Parents Need To Know > News > Yale Medicine

    [Originally published: June 17, 2022. Updated: June 19, 2022]

    After multiple delays, very young children are finally eligible for COVID-19 vaccination. In mid-June, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted emergency use authorization (EUA) to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 6 months to 5 years, as well as to Moderna's vaccine for kids ages 6 months to 6 years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) soon after recommended the vaccines, which should become available early next week.

    While some parents have been counting down the days and are eager to vaccinate their kids, others are hesitant and have lingering questions: Are the vaccines safe? How effective are they, especially against Omicron? Should a child who recently had COVID-19 get vaccinated?

    Vaccination uptake in young children has not been high to date. Nationally only about 29% of children ages 5 to 11 are fully vaccinated, according to the CDC. This compares to a vaccination rate of 60% among kids ages 12 to 17. There are roughly 18 million children under the age of 5 in the United States. 

    Leslie Sude, MD, a Yale Medicine pediatrician, says opening vaccination to this younger group is yet another way to manage the pandemic to make everyone safer. 

    “While a significant proportion of the population was not eligible for vaccination, there was still the opportunity for widespread circulation of COVID among children, who could then keep transmitting it to older people,” she says. “And as long as the virus spreads from person to person, the virus can keep changing and evolving into new variants.” 

    To answer parents’ questions about vaccinating young children, we talked with Dr. Sude and Thomas Murray, MD, PhD, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist.

    That money doesn't go to Ukraine without full Republican support....I believe if the Reps were in power even more would be sent to Ukraine so maybe you should be thankful that the Dems are in power :lol:

    They don't need Republican support. They have control over the House and Senate.

    You forgot Fox and all the rest of the looney right wing media.....what we all should be doing and have forgotten how....is to listen to both sides of an argument and realize that the truth and reality is somewhere between the 2 extremes....

    Why is the right wing media "looney"? Cause they don't have your view of the world?
