Okay - so you don't have an opinion on young people being denied university, work (in many sectors), and - in my child's case - playing football (something we are fighting) if they don't take a medical intervention that they are highly unlikely to need (we know who the risk groups are) and which could lead to severe disease and/or death?

When, approximately, would you develop an opinion? For example if it were to be declared mandatory and not having it meant prison, would you have an opinion on that? Or would you leave the unenviable task to the experts?

I have an opinion on your decision, by the way: and it is 'good for you'. You analysed the situation and made a choice you believe is right. You might be proved wrong in the mid to long term (and consequently be a burden on the health system), but you used your free will to steer a course through life - as you should.

The study you linked to is interesting, but it was published 6 months ago. Since then, we have seen almost in real time athletes dropping with career-ending or life-ending disease (there seem to be 3 collapses and one death in the last 48 hours in the football world).

Clearly, in my opinion, before any more children/young adults are forced to take this, we need to a study on what is going on. For example, is the heart giving out due to high, intense levels of exertion significantly more often in the vaxxed cohort as opposed to the non-vaxxed? How many of them were diagnosed with covid (with and without heavy symptoms, and so on?

Right now, we - those having questions - are being condescended to - why? Are we really that dumb? Are these questions and concerns really so silly that we should just wait for more data in 5 years (and hope our trust was not misplaced) Or could there be intense political pressure to get everyone vaccinated for reasons other than the general health of the population?

But okay - conspiracy theories .... ooooh
