Many families have been dying to take a Disney cruise. Starting in 2022, parents and children must show proof of vaccination to make that dream come true. And if those pesky vax cards get lost, the Sun has been told that children collapsing on the gangway will be deemed fully vaccinated.
Big Jabs for Big Ears
Disney’s cruise line has become the first to mandate COVID-19 vaccination for children aged five and up. So if you want to walk through those big mouse ears and onto a Disney cruise ship, you better be all jabbed up.
Health & Safety?
Disney says its focus is on “the health and safety of its guests and staff.” However, many parents feel the new policy is misguided.
Seeing children collapse on the soccer field, in the cafeteria, or the classroom, after receiving their Covid shots prompts many parents to tell Disney to take a hike.
“We will never give you a dime. You aren’t worth the lives of my children.”
One Parent’s Reaction to Disney’s Vax Policy
The cruise line defended the policy by citing FDA authorization of the emergency use of the Pfizer vaccine for children aged five through 11 last month.
Parent’s Don’t Trust the Label Anymore
Parents we spoke to called Disney’s FDA comment “obtuse and culturally irrelevant. Most people stopped trusting the FDA in the late 1980s after a string of FDA-approved drugs wreaked havoc on public health.”
Indeed, Lipitor, Fentanyl, Pen-Phen, and 22 other dangerous FDA-approved drugs have done little to garner public trust in their label.
Sail the Seven Seas, at Home
As for SARS-CoV-2, two shots and a booster is a recipe making billions for big pharma. But why risk any child being exposed to a lifetime of myocarditis for a condition that presents practically zero risk?
Little Sophia and Jackson may dream of sailing the seven seas on a Disney cruise ship. But their health is better off renting Pirates of the Caribbean and floating on the couch at home.
