That’s horrifying and you should check into the legality of this and/or runaway fast to another school. |
Agreed. You had about 1/600,000 chance of dying from COVID if you were under5. And the vaccine is a merely 40% effective For those over 30, get the jab. For those under 20, go get COVID unless you have a significant health condition |
Doesn't EUA standard for Emergency Use Authorization? Are we still in a state of emergency? |
I imagine preschools are requiring it for the comfort of their staff, who may or may not reside with elderly or otherwise immunocompromised individuals. A vaccinated kid might be less likely to transmit some variants. |
Ridiculous. I’d ask for that part to be removed and if they won’t then I would go somewhere else. You don’t want to deal with administration like that. |
Yes, a pandemic is considered an ongoing emergency situation for this purpose. |
Emergency Use Authorization is authorization. |
My Loudoun Co. preschool has this clause. Must not bother too many parents as there are no spots and a long waitlist. |
It’s a private preschool. They can make any rule they want. No Nike sneakers. Only striped socks on Fridays. Attending their school is not a fundamental right. |
Yeah you should take gov 101 again. Nothing is stopping the government - local state or fed - from saying private businesses can’t discriminate based on medical decisions of a not-fully-authorized drug. And as PP said, if CDC made this their guidance, most governments would. |
There should be an exemption policy. |
It's a private school. Not a mandate. |
The CDC doesn’t make laws, they issue guidance. |
The irony is it is exactly these type of draconian mandates (which the experts feared when grudgingly approving the 5-12 vaccine) that are likely to further delay approval of the under 5 vaccine. |
Because it’s Loudon County ![]() |
