Rep. Greg Murphy: It Should Be Up To Parents And Pediatricians To Decide Whether Children Get The COVID-19 Vaccine

North Carolina Republican Congressman and Vice Chair of the House GOP Doctors Caucus Greg Murphy joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to weigh in on the push by Dr. Fauci and other top health officials to get children vaccinated against COVID-19.

“If you look at the under 18 age group and you look and you see the risk benefit ratio, because that’s what this is all about, you don’t take vaccines unless you’re at risk for them. And it’s been shown with questionable significance whether these really decrease the amount of transmission of the virus. And so you look at a population that has an unbelievably low risk in healthy children of having severe disease from COVID, and it is exceedingly low. And we know that these vaccines can have risks. No medicine is without risk. Tylenol, ibuprofen, aspirin all have risks. And so, I think this is fine if parents want to talk about it with their pediatrician. But the fact that some states will mandate this particular vaccine for children, in my opinion, my medical opinion and my personal opinion, I believe is wrong. So I believe it’s up to parents and their pediatricians.”

Rep. Murphy also talks about the Biden administration’s failed immigration policies, and how they have caused a full-blown crisis at the U.S. Southern border. Listen to the podcast to hear what else he had to say!
