It prevents serious illness, not infection. Now, the real question, which there is unfortunately no data to substantiate either way because of the lack luster data gathering and trial development, is whether or not, because vaccine doesn't prevent spread/illness, did it actually cause more infections (and deaths) and elongate the pandemic.

Imagine a company has spokesman for its product, who got half the country to buy its product.
But, the other half of the country thinks that spokesman is totally discredited, and throws up in their mouths when they see him on TV. They would never buy anything he endorses.
Now, assuming the company CEO actually wants to sell his product to the rest of the country, what should he do?
Of course, he needs to get another spokesman.
And if the old spokesman keeps yapping about the product, the company makes it clear that the old spokesman is no longer authorized to speak for the product or the company.
If the CEO sticks with the same spokesman, then the only options are: (1) the CEO is a moron or has dementia, or (2) the CEO doesn't actually care about selling the product to the other half of the country...he's got other things on his mind.

…and thus don’t benefit from it.
It was always just a play to try to protect the boomers from a higher exposure risk…..at the expense of higher risk to the kids (vax risks, while low, outweigh vax benefits in this age group).
Of course, I blew this horn for the past year and a half, but the board pseudo doctors claimed this was wrong because the googled CNN articles or talked to imaginary family members. Of course, these idiots were wrong, but they will now simply say, “ the science changed” when really they couldn’t understand the data themselves, and relied on the charlatan High Sparrow Fauci.
the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia embedded paper, serious vaccine side effects come to the fore typically within 2 months, and our family Infectious Disease trained Doc says certainly within 6 months (I asked this very question when the vaccines were first released for use)...let's remember that this a serious disease and can cause real harm to vulnerable people...and there is also the issue of "Long COVID" for anyone who contracts the disease...including kids.
Vaccines are free...easy to get...and SAFE...no logical reason not to get EVERYONE vaxed.
'Infectious Disease' is not Baron's specialty...he should respect the guidance that community of physicians and scientists offer...for whatever reason, he chooses not to.

Since Baron isn't enough of an expert for you, maybe Sweden's top infectious disease experts are...at least enough to give you pause, perhaps.
are SAFE...everyone should be vaccinated.
Baron's medical judgement has been overtaken by politics when it comes to all things COVID...why?...I haven't to faintest idea.

The potential side effects of the vax are unknown. Do you force a child to take a vax that will provide little benefit to the vast majority while subjecting to the unknown risks. I think parents should make that decision. I would tend to lean toward not getting them vaxed.
told to tell you.
Also, US recommendations from fed medical agencies are heavily influenced by politics under this administration. The Swedes are now leading the way. Another American leader (healthcare) demoted.
certainly within 6 months...also, there have been over 12 billion doses of mRNA vaccine distributed since they became available over 1-1/2 years ago...no need for you to worry about this...check out the attached link.
As for the kids, some are more vulnerable than others for serious illness and perhaps "Long COVID"...the risks of side effects have been shown to be very small...so, the smart thing is to get them vaccinated.

By people who think they are morally superior. When in reality, they are just sad and pathetic but they were “following the science”.
during that period. Actually those data obscured the pattern to some degree. One of a few reliable data that we can look at is excess death in the past 2.5 years in Europe since they have have centralized data management system.
If we look at the excess death, SARS-2 death is no different than that of influenza death. If we combine excess death with those waves of SARS-2 in the past 2.5 years, it is pretty clear: Omicron, not the vaccines, stopped the deaths.
(But this BA.5 may be a different animal. It's said its infection can go lower in your respiratory system (lung). Let's see.)
For safety purposes, testing for everyone regardless of vaccine status would have been the most effective approach l.
