Your quotes around the word "vaccines" are not helping the much-more-reasonable cause of losing the masks in schools. There is a group of people who refused to get vaccinated or their kids vaccinates, will be the first to remove their masks, will refuse to test for Covid, and will undoubtedly send their kids to school when they're sick. It's this group that worries the rest of us and gives us pause about sending our kids to school unmasked quite yet. |
These aren't muzzles that are strapped on, these are masks that the kids can remove when appropriate. You don't like your mask? It'll be mask optional shortly but there's always homeschool or distance learning if you're in earnest. |
Interestingly there's a thread on what the unvaccinated will do as mask rules change in the Health forum, and the few people who've responded saying they are unvaccinated or their kids are have indicated that they will continue to mask. But yeah, I believe there are a handful in the category you mention and they don't make anyone look good, do they? |
The tired and stupid seatbelt analogy is what’s weak. |
So envious from the other side of the Potomac. Well done, Virginia! |
Honestly, I think the person who keeps posting this "experimental" vaccine stuff is just a person who wants to keep the mask mandate in place through the end of this year and maybe beyond. They are just trying to stir people up and worry them about kids taking off their masks. |
I find people screaming about mask mandates are the same ones who won't get their kids vaccinated. Maybe it's just in my kids' schools though. |
Next Youngkin is going to ban hand sanitizer and soap from schools and businesses that sell food. "We're sick as he11 and we're not going to take it anymore!" |
Typhoid Youngkin. |
I noticed it too. Natural selection will take care of them eventually. |
Seriously, I do worry that red states will start overturning all vaccine requirements and we'll see more measles and mumps. The school vaccine requirements are a really important public health measure, and it's absolutely crazy there are people out saying they want to overturn them. |
And given that Youngkin is stepping up a Covid-19 vaccination campaign in the Commonwealth, that is not what will happen here. Not alienating people will help avoid the anti-vaxxers in the true sense of the word (those who reject vaccines that are on AAP's childhood vaccine schedule for reasons other than allergies). |
OMG. Youngkin’s proposal has bipartisan support and is very reasonable, based on the numbers and science. PP - you hysterical reaction, along with the other political sniping, is proof that progressivism is a mental disorder. |
Read the news. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/25/gops-anti-vaccine-mandate-push-is-seeping-into-other-vaccines-schools/ Here is one example: "Efforts by Republicans in Wisconsin also have shown some real momentum. State Senate Health Committee Chairman Patrick Testin (R) held a hearing this month that included Senate Bill 336. The bill would, among other things, prohibit schools and universities from excluding students because of their vaccination status. And, again, it’s not just about coronavirus vaccines." "But we’ve also seen many in the GOP warming to this kind of thinking, with polls showing support among Republicans for childhood vaccine requirements dropping from around two-thirds at the start of the pandemic to less than a majority." |
Wait till you see what these fools what to do to our girls. Will yours be a Martha or Ofglenn? |
