Now that the vaccines are approved for kids 5 and up, along with all the mandates for adults from Joe, this is the leadup to mandating the vaccines for kids
Biden Administration Likens Polio to Coronavirus in Children
First lady Jill Biden and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy kicked off their campaign to encourage child coronavirus vaccinations Monday by visiting the first school to inoculate children against polio in McLean, Virginia.
The administration is pushing to get children ages 5-11 vaccinated. The Associated Press states that 28 million children are eligible for the shots now that the Pfizer vaccine was approved.
In 1954, Dr. Richard Mulvaney administered the first polio vaccine to 114 second graders at McLean’s Franklin Sherman Elementary. (snip)
While polio is usually contracted by children under 5, the average age of someone who died from the coronavirus is 72.8 years old, according to the University of Minnesota.
Huh
(NPR) Franklin Sherman Elementary made history as the first school to administer the polio vaccine to its students in 1954 — a fact that First Lady Jill Biden embraced on Monday as she visited the school’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic to encourage pediatric vaccinations for children ages 5-11 years old.

Let’s help our brave children through this pandemic by getting them vaccinated, again
Nearly seven decades ago, polio was the most feared disease in our country because of its high infection rate among children.
Just in 1952, nearly 60,000 children were infected. Images of children in iron lungs keeping them alive terrorized parents, as did reports of the thousands who were paralyzed. More than 3,000 children died that year. (snip)
Kids 5-11 must get the COVID vaccine.Trusted family physicians must be the ones to give it.
Since the beginning of this pandemic, our children have shown a bravery beyond their years. In school districts that have prioritized health over politics, kids have been wearing masks. Many children have endured the intrusion of COVID test swabs and quarantines. They have missed friends and family and, for months on end, witnessed their parents’ love manifest as anxiety and worry.
Yes, forcing kids, with the lowest chance of contracting the Chinese coronavirus and lowest chance of dying from it, to wear masks which make almost no difference in stopping COVID19. You have vaccine cultists comparing COVID to polio all over social media and in comments and such, forgetting a few things, such polio having been eradicated in the US and other first world nations because the vaccine works. When the full regimen of vaccines are taken, the person has virtually 100% immunity from getting polio, nor can they transmit it, and that’s for life. They have no fear from polio. If they are around it, they won’t get it. They won’t be carriers spreading it around.
Unlike the Chinese flu vaccines, where you can get it and can give it. Yes, it is supposed to provide protection from getting it, in the range of 88%-94%, so the studies say now. And, if you get it, it will usually be less severe than without the vaccine. I still took it, and just got the booster. I’d rather be safe than sorry, and I’m willing to take that chance. But, it in no way protects me like my polio vaccination. Not even freaking close. Because people can be carriers without symptoms and spread it around. The vaccine doesn’t stop that.
They’d probably do a whole lot better with the messaging if they’d stop fear mongering, and just be honest. Compare it more to the flu shots. They aren’t perfect, but, it’s a whole lot better getting the flu shots and hopefully not getting the flu than not getting the shots, right? Protect yourself. But, what they’re doing is setting up the stage to create vaccine mandates for kids, which will more than likely originate in school systems, cities, counties, and states.
