What does this have to do with anything? The CDC said we need to take the vaccine. That's all you need to know. If you need to take it then obviously kids need to take it too.

Why did UK’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) refuse to recommend universal vaccination to 12-15s on risk benefit basis? How did these internationally renowned vaccinologists and immunologists suddenly become antivaxxers overnight?

When I first read this reply I was 100% certain you were being sarcastic.

But seeing your further reply, you are serious? I'm really having a hard time believing that. You can't possibly be serious, can you?
