Terrible article.
"The vaccine was not studied in an unethical, impossible randomized-controlled trial of a million children."
Straw man. No one is arguing that. The Covid vaccines were never fully and tested through normal standards with ADULTS. No long term risk data exist. They were given EUA in the US (and presumably most other places) based on fear. The risk of death from Covid for children is miniscule.
"Though it is rare and nearly always mild, the vaccine can cause myocarditis in adolescents, not younger children."
It isn't always mild and has killed adolescents and young, healthy adults. What does the 7th point of the Nuremberg Code say?
"These doctors are right that many children have contracted COVID. In an ideal world, they’d reflect on how their failed predictions of “
herd immunity by April” and relentless
vaccine fear-mongering helped create this widespread “natural immunity” with all its
consequences."
When you lock down and do all the other fear-dancing, you don't get herd immunity. Hiding in the basement until ineffective and still experimental "vaccines" are available didn't work out, either.
Horrible fear-mongering here.
"So far, COVID has killed
over 500 children under 5 years. That’s a tragically large number, and it’s higher every time I check it."
First of all, of course the cumulative number will never decrease. Duh. So the logic here is that we should vaccinate millions (over 20M kids in the US are 5 or younger) of healthy children and expose them all to the unknown longer term risks of these new experimental vaccines to
maybe save 250 per year? Over a two year period. The Covid fatality rate for this age group is 1/80,000. The graph trying to compare to measles shows measles cases, not deaths. The measles fatality rate prior to the (properly tested and actually effective) vaccine ranged from 8/100,000 to 18/100,000. Much higher than Covid in the 0-5 age group (or even 0-30).

"The argument boils down to- the vaccine won’t help that many children. I think that’s a horrible argument. I think doctors should strive to have zero children suffer or die for lack of a vaccine. This shouldn’t be controversial."
Well, you cannot simply ignore the known and unknown risks of the vaccine in this ridiculous "analysis." First do no harm. Risk/reward must be evaluated at the least.
