Two Israeli six-year-olds passed away on Thursday in the pediatric intensive care unit at Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva.
Both children had serious preexisting illnesses and their condition worsened after contracting COVID.
Dr. Tzachi Lazar, the director of the PICU at Soroka, said: “These were difficult cases of children with complex preexisting illnesses who contracted COVID and their condition worsened due to the virus. It’s important to vaccinate children in order to prevent infection and serious illness.”
“Due to the accelerated rate of infection, we’re concerned that we’ll begin seeing children without preexisting illnesses whose condition may become complicated as a result of the virus.”

this is fear mongering! DO NOT VACCINATE YOUR CHILDREN FOR COVID!
There is no data showing the long term effects on children, and your children may never be able to have children if you give them the shot.
Best case scenario is that they will survive the shot, and remain alive over the next few years.
DO NOT TEST THE SHOT ON YOUR INNOCENT CHILDREN!
This is very tragic, but I don’t see how the jump was made from children with serious preexisting conditions to vaccinating children with BH no preexisting conditions.
These two cases are being used to scare people into getting vaccinated. While I believe that people should get vaccinated, these two cases prove nothing as it seems that these children were already so sick that if they stepped on a pebble they would have died.
The story is sad and tragic, but the nonsensical attempt at making a case for children vaccinating is nauseating. If you’re reporting a tragic story, stick to the narrative, and if you’re doing an “ad” for vaccinating kids, don’t do it on the backs of these poor kids.
Aside from the fact that there is no case here for vaccinations. The kids were immunocompromised, which probably made it unwise to give them the vaccine series of shots due to the well-known severe reactions. And non-compromised kids rarely get seriously ill from COVID. So exactly which kids are we telling to vaccinate?
The lesson is not the mass vaccination of kids. The lesson is to make a personal choice. If you have a kid with serious pre-existing illness, then taking the Covid vaccine might make sense. Otherwise, there is zero reason to vaccinate kids, especially now when the variants are less and less problematic
It’s important to vaccinate children ABSOLUTELY!!!
I don’t know whether there is a case for vaccinating healthy children, but you simply need to weigh kid risks from vaccine to the risk from Covid. If your kid is a lucky part of a traditional Jewish family, staying his younger years with his mother, and the father is vaccinated and comes home from a not an extremely risky-for-Covid job, then there is a relatively low chance of the kid getting the infection. If, on the other hand, the kid goes to a kindergarten with 50 other kids then he most probably was or will be exposed. Then, it is a simple question – what is safer – vaccine or virus?
From general principles, a vaccine that is made to be safe and only stimulates immunes system, seems safer than the virus that also damages multiple internal organs and was possibly tweaked in a weapons lab.
I would first check for existing antibodies from previous infection, and also give the milder vaccine Pfizer, and also space 2 vaccine to at least 2 months rather than recommended 3 weeks, which some research shows was too close. Consult your doctor, of course.
Unfortuanely children with preconditions pass away from the flu too as well as bronchitis, pneumonia, etc. It is rishus to use these unfortunate deaths as a platform tp pedal covid-19 poison shots for children.
2 6 yr olds dying is a Very tragic story.
They were severely ill with preexisting conditions.
In the worst case scenario-the vaccine would have hastened their deaths.
In the best case scenario-the vaccine wouldn’t save them from death.
So leave the “useless so called vaccines” out of this report.
