That’s not a valid criticism at all.

It’s about parents having a choice. From a public health perspective, there is no good reason to mandate the Covid shot in anyone under the age of 40. Especially now that we have solid data showing that the Covid shot does not prevent transmission of Covid.

That being the case, parents should have the right to decide whether they want to get if for their own child, based on their own child’s health status.

The government (local, state, federal) has no business mandating this particular shot. Covid vaccine mandates are completely anti-science.

Bolded is not true. That’s why you’re so confused. Provide a citation please.

Oh dear. NP here. I'm pro-mask and pro-vaccine, but you're wrong. The older shots were useful at stopping most transmission for a very short period of time. We will have to see how well the new shot does.

“We will have to see” means that you cannot honestly make the claim. Thus my comment stands as accurate.

“People who become infected with the Omicron variant are less likely to spread the virus to others if they have been vaccinated or have had a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, according to a study in US prisons1. And people who have both had a previous infection and been vaccinated are even less likely to pass on the virus, although the benefit of vaccines in reducing infectiousness seems to wane over time.

The findings are good news, says Megan Steain, a virologist at the University of Sydney, Australia. They show that the more exposure people have to the virus, whether through vaccines, boosters or infections, the “higher the wall of immunity”, she says. “If we can keep high levels of booster vaccinations up, then we can decrease how infectious people are when they’re sick,” says Steain.”

Johns Hopkins seems to tend towards the likelihood that the vaccines do limit transmission. I will follow the best judgement of Johns Hopkins over anonymous internet poster that can’t provide citations.

“In general, most vaccines do not completely prevent infection but do prevent the infection from spreading within the body and from causing disease. Many vaccines can also prevent transmission, potentially leading to herd protection whereby unvaccinated people are protected from infection by the vaccinated people around them because they have less chance of exposure to the virus. We are still learning whether or not the current Covid-19 vaccines prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2. It is likely they reduce the risk of virus transmission but probably not completely in everyone. This is one of the reasons why it will still be important for people to continue wearing masks and practicing physical distancing, even after being vaccinated”

If you are so Covid cautious then why are you spreading misinformation about the efficacy of the vaccine?

DP. You should write the CDC with your scientific findings so that the CDC can stop spreading disinformation. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/cdc-director-covid-vaccines-cant-prevent-transmission-anymore/ar-AASDndg
