I mean, he was quoting the guy who seems to be like the English surgeon general or something. Some UK medical authority issuing guidelines. Obviously a worthwhile topic of discussion.
Was that that the one about mushroom clouds?
OK? It’s still making an argument that the vaccines are dangerous. You said that was false.

He quoted an article saying that there is a minuscule risk of myocarditis from the vaccine. Which is obviously true and does not say or imply that the vaccines are dangerous.

However miniscule the risk, it’s supplied explicitly as the reason not to give a second shot to kids.

A decision made by some of the British health authorities, yes. They don’t think the vaccine is dangerous, they think a second shot for teens is not warranted.
OK, so then is this a claim that the UK heath authorities think this risk is too large, do they think the vaccine is not effective enough to be worth incurring that risk, are they stupid, or are they bad actors?

They think the benefit of a second shot is too small to outweigh the risk of a second shot.
Dangerous stuff (not) these 3 vaxxs I was first in line for, when I became eligible.
Doxxing myself a little but here’s me booking 2nd shot for my 12yr old (now adminstered 9th Jan). She had the first shot 2 days after her 12th birthday in October, days after 12-15 became eligible. Bang on 3 months later she’s in for the 2nd.

We don’t do under 12’s yet, unless immunocompromised.
We don’t do chicken pox vaxs because there is evidence more cases of adult shingles if vax as a kid. We still do pox parties. This may change shortly as can now buy the vax here but no NHS chicken pox vax.
This changed rapido when Omicron hit early Dec '21. They were thinking about a 2nd vax for under 15-17’s after 6 months, then when Omicron hit they opened up 2nd vaxs to 12-17’s after 3 minimum months. Brought all adult boosters forward from 6 months to 3 month gap too.

Just as a PSA for those here, Keeed banned me because he got pissed that I caught him sharing moderator flags with the new Council of Captains pm thread. My quick ban without a chance to give a “citation” in his “cite or ban” was immediately after I pointed this out to him and @riverman after he Keeed was caught lying about it in a flagged pm thread, and had nothing to do with the post he claimed to ban me before. One of the Captains pm’d me about the flag prior to me commenting or saying anything regarding the flag, to throw some shade about the fact that I had made the flag. Figured it was worth the rest of the community knowing about this. Anywho, peace out.

Right, what’s the accusation exactly? I told Johnny that jman thinks I unhid Johnny’s post? Yes, I did that? I told jman I did that? What am I lying about?
lol that makes sense. But then when jman said I talked to you about the flag, I was like, well, I sort of did because I PMed you saying, lol jman thinks I unhid your post? It was never hidden, right? So yeah, I owned up to talking to you about that, because I did.
