@Emmo496, I screwed up and quoted the wrong post, but this is in response to your question about your daughter and wife pushing to get your daughter vaxxed.
I'm looking for other links that I've saved, but I copied the information below from a Dr. on tMB, who has been around a long time, so not some random poster. His comments are:
"To the poster who said that myocarditis is more common in covid than after vaccination as a blanket statement is patently false. It is true for certain demographics and especially those that are already at highest risk for complications from covid.
The data above show that some of the groups at lowest risk for complications from covid, have the highest risks for complications from the mRNA vaccines. Most notably young males. In the case of the Moderna vaccine, males under 40 have a mildly increased risk with first dose and significantly higher risk for myocarditis with dose 2. See the third link I posted above for the evidence. This is Oxford data, whcih I consider to be reliable.
I am not saying the vaccines are bad, but the idea that everyone needs them and/or would need boosters is a fallacy. Germany pulled Moderna for all people < 30 years of age in the fall. We don't have data on the booster for Moderna yet (which was approved based on pfizer data by the way).
I currently actively recommend against moderna for males under 40."
The links that he posted are as follows:

As we had discussed with you previously, I don't think it can be stated enough that healthy kids and young adults are not at risk from covid. Period. However, they may very well be at risk from the shot. And the long term effects in terms of reproduction, cancer, immunodeficiency syndromes, etc are just not known yet.
I would also ask them the following question. If the FDA, Pfizer and Moderna are so interested in promoting a quality, well researched product, why are they 1) still using the experimental shots in the USA, and 2) trying to release their research and development documents over 75 years?
Even still, the first release of documents was pretty damning. See the link below:
Adverse events in first 3 months
Fortunately for all of us, a judge recently changed the timeframe by which Pfizer has to turn over their documents from the requested 75 years, to now being 8 years. See the link below:
Now 8 years
In addition, with Omicron becoming the most dominant strain currently, there is even less risk to kids. Per most articles, including this one
THIS ONE, the risk for kids is mostly croup, rashes, fatigue and headaches. So basically, no major risk.
The risk of the covid shots at this point significantly outweigh the rewards of taking it, especially for the youth. If your daughter has no significant health issues, there's really no reason to be considering it at this point.
Additionally, if it's Omicron that they're concerned about, recent reports from Israel are saying that even people that have had both shots, plus 2 boosters, are still not good enough to prevent infections. See link below:
