Full disclosure: I grew up as a child of immigrant parents in the U.S. They tried, to the best of their ability, to give me and my siblings a good life. The @Gezondheidsraad refusing to recommend #covid19 vaccines for ALL children is triggering because I know the implications 🧵
.@Gezondheidsraad refusing to vaccinate all children means that children from underprivileged backgrounds, the working class who cannot safely shelter, will continue to be exposed, much more than their privileged counterparts 🧵2
The working and middle class has always carried the heaviest toll in this pandemic — grocery store workers, delivery personnel, service industry workers, cleaners, truck drivers, teachers, nurses, doctors. They too have children who cannot “safely bubble”. 🧵3
The #COVID19 vaccines are not a miracle that provides full sterilizing protection — but they do give children a fighting chance at developing severe disease and hospitalization. It is cruel to deny #COVID19 to children in the NL based on the pseudoscience of mass infection 🧵4
