Pfizer to start testing its Covid-19 vaccine in children as young as 12

You and I obviously see this differently. I think it's time to stop beating this very dead horse.

I agree, Star, and let's bring that poor horse back to life. LOL!

They get paid for doing the trials. 5000 dollars was offered here for volunteers. If you are out of work, don’t have money for food, and close to being homeless, yup, you would do it.

Same reason why the draft is not needed in bad economic times. More people join out of desperation.

Sure, I've had vaccinations and taken drugs, but I am not going to boast my love for the many who stepped forward in order to risk and compromise their health in the name of medical science. Instead, I feel sorry for them, because I see them as people that harvest such a low-regard for themselves.

It's the equivalent of walking down the street and being approached by a perfect stranger who's peddling a snake-oil cure, and he asks you if he can inject you with his magical potion/serum.

Are you going to say yes?

I see them as heroes of the human race. I’ve all ready said I am not that brave, I can only wish I was.

That's great, but what if your sister had died or become seriously ill for the remainder of her life as a result of the testing, would you still be here touting what a great system it is?

What if she had gotten polio and spendt the rest of her life in an iron lung? What if you did?

I remember when I got my polio shot. Standing in long lines at an outdoor “mall” with my parents and brother. I think this was the first vaccine I had ever been given. Grateful, even now, to have not gotten polio.

In our age group, the first vaccine would have been for smallpox.

I did not get the smallpox vaccine till I was 18 and had joined the army. I got in the army along with other ones. The first vaccine I got was polio and that was the only vaccine I received under the age of 18.

I thought it was mandatory and necessary to enter a public school. I thought it was given in infancy. Guess you slipped through, @Aneeda72 . Where did you live as a young child?

No it wasn’t. Vaccines were not required till much later for school, as far as I know. As to where I grew up, hell, I grew up in hell.

I'm very sorry.
