The death toll for American children from the Chinese coronavirus from birth to age 18 is about 700 nationwide.

Only about 200 are under age 4.

The death of any child, of course, is a tragedy.

But the facts about the effort to vaccinate children age 5 and over are being exaggerated and manipulated.

First, any adult who wants to be vaccinated should be allowed to do so. But any adult who does not want the vaccination – be it for health reasons or whatever else – should not be forced to take the shots.

And they should not be fired from their jobs for that refusal.

Secondly, the coronavirus does  not have the same effect on children than adults. Even the liberal Tulsa World admits that children do better than adults when infected by the Chinese coronarvirus.

Parents should decide whether their child gets this vaccination, just like every other medical procedure.

The liberal media and some medical groups argue that children should be vaccinated so they don’t transmit the virus to adult members of their household. They should vaccinate the adults, not the kids, in that case. But the problem is that getting vaccinated is no guarantee that you will not get the disease.

And the media is trying to discourage any independent research by parents on the Internet because the Internet cannot be manipulated as easy as a newspaper or TV station.

And truthfully, the majority of doctors are obeying protocols that push the idea that this experimental vaccine is better protection than any treatment drugs or herd immunity.

Parents should think long and hard about approving an unproven vaccination for a 5-year-old when the “cure” may be worse than the disease.
