I believe that most children and youth will contract the infection as they return to normal life, through school, starting new jobs, and college. They generally have strong defenses against Covid-19. Yes, on rare occasions serious illness and death can occur, but the risks must be balanced by the significant health, educational, social and other problems of restrictive measures. Young people need education and we should all be able to see our families. I have continued to see my own four children and their partners, even though they don’t come within a meter of me! I know there is still some risk, but it is worth taking it to be with them.
Immunity is strong after infection. Several hundred million cases of Covid-19 have occurred. When calculating this number of infections, I assume that 0.5 percent of infected people die and the number of deaths is 2 million, which gives 400 million cases. Even if 1 million cases (0.25 percent of 400 million) had been recurrent infections, not the few reported so far, this would be a small number, indicating good immunity, although it would be extraordinary, perhaps unique, if the immunity out of 100 percent. cent and for life.
I believe in vaccination. However, vaccines are not necessarily a silver bullet. Two adenovirus-based vaccines that are currently being tested (known as the Oxford and Wuhan vaccines), for example, have side effects that are similar to Covid-19 itself (fever, pain, fatigue, and headache) in 70-80% of the cases. Adults. These vaccines will not be shown to be safe and effective for children and youth for a few years. It is also important that any vaccine be shown to be effective in people over 70 years of age.
Even when tested, the vaccines will face resistance and will be challenged, even in court. Even if the vaccine is safe, someone can die or get sick by coincidence, which is controversial. This is the history of vaccination programs. It can take years to acquire evidence to persuade people that adverse events were not caused by a vaccine.
