How about we ban non-vaccines for kids against illnesses that have statistically zero effect on their health first and go from there?
How about because children are a potential vector for adult infection, and a potential source of new variants.
What you're your suggesting is the equivalent of saying that you shouldn't use flea powder on your rugs because rugs don't get bitten by fleas, despite them serving as a potential site for flea eggs.

And suddenly I'm reminded why we need to teach these things in school. Not in science class, but in history class.
It's called herd immunity. You vax people BEFORE getting sick would be a problem. It's why you vax kids against things like chickenpox and mump which are little more than a mild inconvenience to most children, but which can be pretty serious if you catch them as an adult.
You also vax kids to reduce community transmission.
If fewer children have covid the risk of them transmitting covid to others is lower, and if they transmit covid to fewer people there is less covid in the community, and so less risk of anybody actually getting covid.
I'm old enough that a lot of the common vaccinations weren't available when I was young, and I didn't live in a big western city with all of the resources that come with it.
Things that you only know about because of the vaccination campaigns used to regularly hit our communities. I've got friends and family who had what you consider to be mild childhood illnesses as adults, and it hit them pretty bad.
Vaxxing radically transformed things. And if you think that this is repulsive maybe you should go talk to the people I gre up with who had things like polio.

Yes, but that only works with actual vax's that are effective.
Not this mrna therapy...
Speaking of history, how long were the traditional vaccinations tested for before we gave them to children?
roughly 86 percent effective after a single dose.

Effective at doing what?
And for how long?

Shingles and chickenpox are the exact same virus. It never leaves your body. Stress on your immune system can cause a shingles outbreak. It is impossible to get shingles without ever having chickenpox or being vaccinated for it. The vaccine contains the actual virus. It is not a separate strain lol.
Shingles and chickenpox are distinct human diseases but are closely related in their life cycles.
Shingles, also known as zoster or herpes zoster, is a viral disease characterized by a painful skin rash with blisters in a localized area.

Which isn't a real thing. mRNA can't alter your DNA because it is unable to penetrate the nucleolus of a cell.
Speaking of history, how long were the traditional vaccinations tested for before we gave them to children?
You mean the ones made decades ago, using killed versions of live virus, that needed to be bred for multiple generations to ensure that they were sufficiently killed enough?
Modern vaccines like the flu vaccine are typically only trialed for a matter of months.

Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. Shingles can occur anywhere on your body. It typically looks like a single stripe of blisters that wraps around the left side or the right side of your torso.
Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you've had chickenpox, the virus stays in your body for the rest of your life. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles.
Shingles (also known as herpes zoster) is a painful rash with blisters. The rash usually appears on one side of a person’s face or body.
According to the CDC, 1 out of every 3 people in the U.S. will develop shingles and there are about 1 million cases of the disease each year in the United States.
Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. You can only get shingles if you had chickenpox. After you recover from chickenpox, the virus stays in your body and goes “to sleep” in the roots of the nerves. In some people, the virus stays that way, but for many others, the virus “wakes up” many years later and causes shingles.
Shingles is caused when the chickenpox virus is reactivated. After a person has had chickenpox, the virus lies dormant in certain nerves for many years. Shingles is more common in people with weakened immune systems, and in people over the age of 50.

Who mentioned DNA? Stay focused.
I did, mRNA can't change your DNA. Fact of science.

If it was 86% effective we wouldn't be having any arguments about it.

He does that a lot.
