even more insane that reps from Wards 5, 7 and 8 are not on board. How they can be anti-vax and then likely turn around and decry “systemic racism” and “social determinants of health” is beyond belief.

I’m vaccinated and live in one of the wards you mentioned. I don’t find it beyond belief that (some) anti-vaccine are connecting to systemic racism - forced sterilization, subpar medical care, etc.

The vaccination rates in wards 7 and 8 are a joke. Just 25 percent of adults in Ward 8 are vaccinated. It's 31 percent in Ward 7.

Are those councilmembers anti-vax? Gray has promoted getting vaccinated. I don't know about the other two.

I know people who don't believe in the mandates but who are vaccinated and definitely are not anti-vax. Where do the councilmembers stand who weren't part of the letter?

I strongly doubt Trayon “Jews control the weather” White is promoting vaccines to his Ward 8 constituents. No surprise that he didn’t sign the letter.

Why not require vaccinations of all students ages 12 and above?

Why is ward 8 represented by this crazy person

I have a 12 year old (vaccinated). I like the you idea of course but then you would need virtual for everyone who does not get the vaccine (probably a lot of at risk kids). Hanging a different quarantine regime according to vaccination status for kids would be appropriate (eg an exposed but vaccinated child should come back after showing a negative test result after a few days, an unvaccinayed child could fulfill the longer quarantine as per CDC guidelines).

Because the FDA hasn’t fully approved it for 12+.

I would support mandatory vax for 16+. It seems like it would be politically bad for Bowser, though, given the strong current of covid vaccine hesitancy in Wards 7 and 8.

Because the FDA explicitly said “safety and efficacy has not been established” for the 12-15 group. You cannot mandate a vaccine in those circumstances

Our daycare admitted that 90% of caregivers are vaccinated. They are forcing the remaining 10% to do offsite weekly testing on their own time off.

I was a bit flabbergasted that it’s not a requirement. The mayor is hesitating on this because so much of her base in Wards 7 & 8 are unvaccinated and the mayoral primary is next spring.

Then she should be interested in protecting their health.

If they die, they cannot vote for her.
