    When children below 12 have natural protection through their Thymus gland why expose them for experimental jabs for the greed of pharma mafia as guinea pigs? Worldwide no youth under 25 died due to corona, then why inject them with toxic unproven jabs? Bill Gates himself admitted covid is only the disease of the aged & comorbid people above 75. Now it is for the parents to stand up & say we are ready to wait for another 5 years before we lend our kids be part of an experiment for an ordinary flu like seasonal infection. Will the companies or government which facilitates vaccines is ready to pay hefty compensation if adverse events happen immediately or after a few years with auto immune diseases & cancers? Never play with our immune system which had evolved in many thousands of years & modern medicine hasn't deciphered even 1% of that till today. Never be hasty & regret later, there won't be an option once it enters our body.
