Vaccinating Kids for COVID-19 - The RISKS & BENEFITS - YOU Decide

10/27/21 • 24 min

Parents, this episode is for you. I know that deciding whether or not to vaccinate your kids for COVID-19 can be difficult. Especially knowing that children are disproportionately unaffected by this Coronavirus. That being said, some children who contract the virus do get severely ill, end up in the hospital and some even do die. In today's episode I use my many years of experience in the medical field to go over all the data we currently have across a plethora of studies so you can make the best decision for you and your family. I discuss the risks and the benefits to vaccinating your kids for COVID-19.
Thank you for joining me on another episode of Baktari MD! Do you have a question regarding our healthcare system? Please leave your question in the comments below so I can make an episode about it. Also, I’d love to hear any suggestions you may have for future content.

Medical Misinformation vs. Scientific Debate

Medical misinformation has been brought to the forefront of the conversation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. From the nightly news to social media, everyone is trying to figure out a way to lessen the damaging effects of harmful information plaguing the internet. But what about true scientific debate? How do we differentiate between medical misinformation that has the potential to truly hurt people and scientific debate that could test what we know and continue to improve upon the foundation of medical science?
In this episode, I discuss the importance of being able to distinguish between the two through two historical case studies. One shows the importance of challenging medical information with science in the name of progress, while the other showcases the danger of misinformation that goes unchallenged in the name of profit.

Forget Everything You Know About Vaccinating Children for COVID-19

Although children have been disproportionately unaffected by the illness of COVID-19, they have been equally affected, if not more affected, by the ramifications that have manifested due to this pandemic. With depression rates in children rising, along with negative behaviors that are associated with depression (suicide, eating disorders, loss of sleep, etc.), it's important to consider all of the pros in vaccinating children for COVID-19 outside of just the health benefits they will receive.
