Entry to SANFL games

Post by Dogs64 »

If the SANFL follows the SMA requiring 12 year olds to be vaccinated, that will be the end of my family of four attending games (and volunteering). Other venues are 16 plus. My wife and I are double vaxxed, but I'm not getting my 12 year old vaxxed.

Going to the sanfl was about spending time with my kids at an event they enjoyed. I won't take my 12 year old, we'll spend the "quality time" elsewhere (and the age demographic of attendees at the sanfl will potentially continue to rise).

Just Covid, he's fully vaxxed for everything else. I've heard so many leading immunoligists and pedetricians stating immunising children against COVID is not necessary.

Interesting,
my doctor, Our old club doctor, says it IS necessary, it's another immunisation.
12 year olds can still get it & pass it on.
I'm sure you can leave him with someone for just a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon, don't punish the club, it's not their fault.

Every chance it becomes mandatory for schools and other events. Kids from 5+ will be approved for vaccine by New Year

Not necessary? Plenty of things in life are not necessary. Probably most. At least you did not say harmful.

So for the sake of a 20 minute trip to the nearest jab site you will prevent him from "Going to the sanfl was about spending time with my kids at an event they enjoyed"?

Pity.

Good on you, i wouldnt be subjecting any kids to especially with the high rates of myocarcditis in teenage boys. Dont listen to the others mate, the risk is way too high for kids who dont need it. Id go as far to say that are being irresponsible parents by subjecting their kids to a vaccine they dont need. They clearly havent done any research and any doctor saying kids should be vaccinated should lose their license. There is far more negatives than positives in that age group. Dont play roulette with your kids lives

Dogs64 you raise an interesting question
1 if your 12 year old needs it to attend school would you stop him or her going to school
2 is he vaccinated against polio measles ect as you can’t iirc attend school without those shots
3 so you won’t take him or her to the footy or the zoo and other places

I guess you need to work it out but just remember very soon it could be no jab no school

There would be mutiny if the government introduced mandatory vaccinations for primary school aged kids

Actually, don't listen to an anonymous poster on a sports forum.

Speak to your GP, seek a second opinion of you need but trust the experts, don't trust someone with no medical back ground who cannot substantiate any of his claims with supporting evidence.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Actually, the government advises that "the benefits of vaccination with Comirnaty (Pfizer) and Spikevax (Moderna) strongly outweigh the risks of myocarditis and/or pericarditis for any age group" and "recommends either vaccine in those eligible" (i.e., age 12+).

If you're talking about kids aged 12-17 (Dogs64 says his son is 12), then there wouldn't be too many doctors left in Australia if those who advised that kids of that age should be vaccinated lost their licences.

I'm with Dogs64. I'm in my mid 60's and also double vaxed but to mandate 12 yo to a vax just does not sit well. Risk v reward. What are the stats on kids getting the virus ? Does the Vax work and if yes why shy should I be scared? The SANFL will suffer.

Are you say Doctors shouldn't be allowed to drive?

Gee that's going a bit far....

Do you know how much my social and emotional equilibrium is upset when I find myself agreeing with Port supporters??
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

It’s all up in the air I guess with kids but the government whichever one you name state or federal that is bringing in more and more requirements to get vaccinated. Dogs64 should talk to his GP
And yes I’m in my late 50s double vaccinated can’t get the booster yet . My GP advised me to get it with my diabetes. And my GP got the shots before I did.
If anyone is worried about covid I do what was called volunteering for Newstart Centrelink said it was the best for me to do . Now if anyone could catch it that would be handling SA people’s donations so I can earn jobseeker.
