Are the vaccines safety for children? I don't think so.

Number of hospitalized childrren in Japan?
Asiaman7
With what vaccine approved for use on children under 12? There are none.
Scorpion
She will get a "panel of experts" together and they will "approve" one.

I don't think it will be needed in Japan. America needs it because the "freedom" fighters don't want to wear masks. They want to protest masks and cause outbreaks instead.

If I had a vote,
it would absolutely not be for this ghoul.
Leave the kids alone!

Nonsense. Of course 11 year olds need it.

That would seem to be a culture thing, I doubt anyone will have success with such dreams in Japan.

No.

Healthy Japanese kids definitely do not need them. In the US, they could be of some benefit if they keep on ignoring their childhood obesity problem.

Testing is ongoing globally and the writing is in the wall that eventually Children under 12 will get vaccinated after they are approved. Just as the writing is on the wall that every one will end up getting a third booster shot. And who knows if there will be more based on new variants and infection/hospitalization/death rates.

Stupid woman.

Only after other countries' have already completed their testing and given approval.

For sure, they are no obese kids in Japan, because this country is so unique.

Or evil (or both).

Politicians should not be making the decisions regarding vaccines and children. Scientists have the job of researching how and when to vaccinate children, and they are not ready yet.
Does Noda magically know how big a dose of the vaccines to give children, and how far apart they should be given? Has she conducted the clinical trials to determine the best course of action to follow?
Of course, I sympathize with the idea of vaccinating children, but I want to follow the guidelines established by scientists, not politicians.

No. Absolutely no. I've had both shots but my son does not need it, he will build natural immunity to this virus with little to no danger.

She is not smart and only gave mumbo jumbo as answers during the debate. Did anyone notice? There is only one serious candidate.
EBP
Noda, among the 4, is by far the most substantive and human in what she's saying. That doesn't win party support, but she is easily the most appealing candidate. Takaichi wants lots of missiles. Kishida doesn't want to offend anyone. Kono is just saying as little as possible because he's likely to win.

DO NOT VACCINE young children -period !
dan
Vaccinate

She’s not expecting people to vote for her then?

It is in every conceivable way, the experts that deal with vaccines professionals do say they are vaccines, obviously a nameless person on the internet saying without any basis that all the experts of the world are wrong is not really going to convince anyone.
It is not a vaccination; like the ones we all took growing up.
It is in all the practical ways, it does the same as attenuated vaccines except that it takes out the replication step, thus making them safer. Foillow your own advice, include in your "research" things that you don't believe in.
And they should be, because credentials do not make it fine to lie or deceive people with baseless explanations or even worse, explanations that can be easily demonstrated false with data, even if the people trying to convince others run away from that evidence.
False, misleading information brings absolutely no benefit to any discussion, people insisting on bringing those lies can validly be silenced without anything of value being lost. On the contrary, without them the scientific discussion actually becomes better.

What is the scientific basis that children should receive the vaccine for the coronavirus?
Where are the statistics that show that children are at risk?
What are the number of children dying infected with Covid?
Let’s have some scientific rationale before making suggestions!
Damian Pascar
has she seen the statistics for children. She is definitely scary
Nibek32
What are you people talking about? There are all kinds of vaccinations that kids get from infancy, even including flu shots.
People have turned this into a political thing.
Nibek32
It is mind blowing almost 2 years in that people still don’t know how this virus works.
First, although rare, children have died of Covid complications.
Second, kids can spread it to people that could then die from Covid.
Additionally, the longer it keeps going around, the more chances of new problematic variants.

She is neither a doctor nor a scientist. Stop utilizing the pandemic for her political ambition. It is OK if Japan can produce enough vaccines by herself. Using foreign made vaccines for that purpose is a shame.
