Virologist Ab Osterhaus said in a radio program this morning Sven at 1 that in his view children should be vaccinated en masse “to keep the schools open”. Osterhaus: “I don’t understand why we don’t vaccinate all children, just like in the US. Children are pricked against everything, but not against covid.”
Ab Osterhaus is completely lost and is sweating from his neck. It is now abundantly clear that children hardly get sick from the coronavirus and its variants. We also know that the corona vaccines mainly protect against (serious) disease and only a little against further infections. In addition, the current vaccines are not focused on the omikron variant and vaccinees seem to be able to spread that variant very easily. Why on earth would you vaccinate children with an outdated and unnecessary vaccine?!
The only thing this would cause is false security. It promotes the idea that vaccinated children can no longer get or transmit the virus, while this is clearly the case. It also entails unnecessary risks, because it is still completely unclear whether and how many children could get side effects from those vaccines.
Osterhaus also does not wonder at all why children should still be vaccinated if all risk groups have already been able to receive a booster, according to a study published in the newspaper. said interview by Sven at 1. Do those boosters have no effect? Then the lockdown has been for nothing and vaccinating children therefore makes no sense at all.
It may even be the case that vaccinating children with old vaccines actually creates a greater danger. In this way, the immune system is trained to recognize an ‘enemy’ that, according to the RIVM, is no longer available dominant is in the Netherlands. If you regularly spray children with outdated and/or new vaccines, while there may be several virus variants wandering around at the same time, this may cause problems. You cannot continue to train the immune system indefinitely for every virus variant, without losing information about older (but possibly still present) virus variants.
A call from the editors: DDS, like many other websites, is having a very difficult time due to the corona crisis. We want to keep everything readable for everyone for free, so that we depend on advertising for our income. But companies have financial concerns, so they don’t have much to worry about. We also notice the consequences of this. Hence our appeal to you, our readers: please support us! Through the reliable Dutch BackMe system you can donate monthly or once. Please do, and help DDS stay afloat!
But Ab Osterhaus apparently believes that a little bit more resistance to possible transmission of the coronavirus outweighs all those risks and uncertainties in vaccinating children. While a child who sits in a classroom all day will sooner or later become infected. It makes no difference whether the child no longer needs 15 minutes but half an hour to become infected, so to speak. Osterhaus it will all be a worst…
