Is it time to have the difficult conversation about masks and MCPS?

One breakthrough case in MCPS with no masks can cause an outbreak. You keep minimizing how serious covid is. Breakthrough cases can be just as serious. And, as time goes on there will be more breakthrough cases. So, you just stop already with your misinformation about vaccines and masking and stop putting our kids and their families health at risk.

You know what's really, really effective at reducing the likelihood of you becoming seriously ill from covid? Vaccination.

It's also very effective at reducing the likelihood of you becoming infected.

PP keeps providing vaccine misinformation, and I don't understand why.

Here is what the vaccines do:

1. Greatly reduce your chance of getting infected by SARS-CoV-2
2. Greatly reduce your chance of transmitting, if you get infected
3. Greatly reduce your chance of getting seriously ill, if you get infected
4. Greatly reduce your chance of dying from covid, if you get infected

All 4 things.

And to say the vaccines don't work because we need boosters - that's just plain silly. I hope that PP doesn't forgo their regular tetanus booster.

Anti-vaxxers love to spread disinformation. Thanks for a good summary!

Most people are vaccinated so screaming about anti-vaxxers is silly.

However, many people are still getting covid vaccinated. And, they don't know long term but the effictivness isn't what we were told long term.

You get a booster. I did my part in doing two shots. I do my part by staying home, and when I do go out distance and mask.

Again, the rate of breakthrough infections in Maryland is 0.12%. https://health.maryland.gov/newsroom/Pages/Maryland-Department-of-Health-releases-COVID-19-post-vaccination-infections-data.aspx. Stop with the many vaccinated people are getting COVID. 0.12% is not a lot of people. It means that out 1000000 vaccinated 1200 got a breakthrough infection. That is not a ton of people. Stop just stop already. I have had to post this on every page of this thread. And you keep coming back with this asinine misinformation.

Masks are likely gone by next school year, but Covid will not be. How do you plan to navigate this world going forward?

The rare breakthrough cases can be just as serious - but generally only for the elderly and a very small handful of other immunocompromised people.

Yep. Even among old people and people with health conditions, the vaccine is very effective at reducing the chance of hospitalization or death from covid. It's just less effective among old people/people with health conditions than among younger people/people without health conditions. But that's not surprising, because old people/people with health conditions are more vulnerable to ANY health issue. Even if you're old/ill, your chances are still far better if you're vaccinated than if you're unvaccinated.

Please cite your evidence where one breakthrough case at any school in any state or country led to an outbreak. My post is pro vaccine. Vaccines work. You keep harping away that lots of people are getting breakthrough infections. You have no evidence and nothing constructive to add to the conversation aside from idiotic conjecture and fear mongering.

Here is from the CDC on it: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7031e2.htm

Here is a recent situation at a high school where kids were vaccinated: https://ktla.com/news/local-news/33-test-positive-in-valencia-high-school-covid-outbreak/

Where did it say that the outbreak STARTED with a BREAKTHROUGH infection? Do you even read what you post?

A breakthrough infection is a silly term for someone getting covid vaccinated. The majority or all the folks at that one high school WERE vaccinated.

Maybe. I think they’ll lose numbers at the semester. However, they may have to keep it going for those kids who have been doing virtual for 2.5 years at that point given how emotionally and socially stunted they’ll be, though.

How do you know that? The article did not mention it. Do you really know the vaccination status of the 33 cheerleaders who were quarantined? The article also says that vaccinated people did not need to quarantine so it’s logical to assume that the 33 quarantined WERE NOT VACCINATED. Did you miss this part? Students will not be required to quarantine if they have no symptoms and are fully vaccinated, or if they have recovered from laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 within the last 90 days, the Santa Clarita Valley Signal reported.

Smith is gone. Even McKnight isn't going to keep virtual after seeing the performance numbers from last year. Get ready for homeschooling, followed by decades of your children being unable to thrive in the real world.

Last year virtual is very different than this year. Administrators have said it will be continued next year. Pay attention. My kids do fine in the real world and have tons of empathy unlike yours. They get Covid and get what it’s like losing a parent. Thankfully your probably never experienced half as much as mine have.

You know what's really, really effective at reducing the likelihood of you becoming seriously ill from covid? Vaccination.

It's also very effective at reducing the likelihood of you becoming infected.

Some of us don’t want Covid. You may only care about severe I’ll ess but for some of us it is not that simple.

Then I have good news for you! Vaccination also reduces your chances of becoming infected with SARS-CoV-2. You personally getting vaccinated protects you, and lots of people around you getting vaccinated also protects you.
