APS does not report covid cases anymore, correct?

I wondered who the nuts are that get kids boosted. US-wide, only 4.5% of 5 to 11 years old and 17% of 12-17 year olds got boosted the first time. It's expected to be much less for this booster too.

Our pediatrician recommended that our 11 yo get boosted.

You should ask her or him what studies she or he is using that a healthy 11 yo needs to get boosted. When I asked my pediatrician, they simply said "the CDC's recommendation". When I followed up saying that's not a study and other countries are not even vaccinating kids that age, they said "we [blindly] follow the CDC." I changed pediatricians.

I trust my pediatrician who has cared for my child for 11 years and has won doctor of the year, as opposed to random COVID denier on the internet.

You shouldn’t. My doc said docs are being threatened if they don’t recommend it

My doc said your doc is a lying quack who shines UV lights up his a-hole.

After 2+ years of the irrational hysteria of the covid deniers/anti-vaxxers/anti-maskers, it's pretty easy to ignore them.

DH and I are inclined to wait to get boosters until later in the fall so that they will still be effective in the worst of winter, but if we knew there were a bunch of cases in her class or even her school or the schools in general, we’d go ahead with the shots. But that info is no longer reported, right?

You might want to look into countries that are no longer recommending shots/boosters or banning them entirely for certain groups, and why.

I’m sorry that you not only insist on this experiment 🧪 for yourself, but for your children.

They are depending on you to weigh the risks vs. benefits of a new shot, vs. the risks of the shot— which may cause them longterm harm and NOT EVEN prevent them from getting or spreading the sniffles.
