Is your DC private mandating Covid Vaccine for 5-11, or recommending?

[Anonymous]

The challenge with not following protocols for unvaccinated individuals in the school is if one of them gets severely ill or dies the school gets hit with a wrongful death suit for negligence. They're not going to expose their institutions to that even if the likelihood is incredibly low.

2. Run the school like the students all aren't vaccinated and cater to 10% of the school population.
3. Separate the kids who aren't vaccinated into their own classes with different protocols as restrictions ease.

All of the Upper Schools had the same choices and what did they do?...

Unfortunately, they did #2

The FDA explicitly said COVID vaccines should not be mandated for this age group, it was actually one of the basis for their hesitation in approving but they erred on the side of wanting the vaccine to be available to those who would potentially benefit from it. I love how in DC- the cautioned approval turns into in two months, mandates for all. So much for believing in the experts, listening to them, and "science"

And it is a private school, they can make their own rules. If you don't like it, pull your kid.

So this isi the current problem with both the right and left. I said nothing about whether I agreed or not with any vaccine mandate, I didn't provide my opinion. I provided facts. The facts are the FDA said mandates should not be made. The facts are, a lot of schools have in fact turned to mandates. The facts are, in this area, a lot of people have yelled "believe in the science", "listen to the experts" and lambasted the right for not doing so when now, and throughtout the pandemic they have also not done so. Those are facts and you, turn around and say- if you don't like it leave. If I don't like facts leave? Is it now not possible to share actual facts and if people don't agree with them, that some how makes them not true and they shouldn't be shared? That is super scary stuff, especially when we are talking about schools and centers for learning when facts, can not be provided and someone assumes they are opinion if they don't like them.

You are so on point. My thoughts exactly. I guess you had have actually taken the time to watch the FDA meeting.

Not if everyone signs a agreement that there are known variable risks sending your kid to school during a pandemic.

If who dies? The unvaccinated individual or the vaccinated individual? It does not make sense to sue the school in either case.

Yes, I believe this is what the schools are afraid of. It’s the rhetoric that’s out there. But how could you ever prove where you caught the cold?

Until schools care more about the kids than lawsuits things won’t change.

Or until people start suing for the damages caused by mandating masks. This would be easier to prove.

Yes, schools should be sued for mandating masks outside. That is a guaranteed win for whoever is suing.

Why? For parents who chose not to vaccinate, they should feel ok with their kids going to school with less protocols. Why should the school have to separate? We don't have separate super markets for vaccinated vs unvaccinated people. Our kids will be protected from the already slim chance of any health issues from Covid. I don't see these 'choices' as valid.

Why should it be ok for your unvaccinated kid to become a vector in the school when everyone else is acting responsibly. Or do you still not understand how viruses and vaccines work?

It appears you are struggling with that as well. These “vaccines” aren’t really vaccines in the traditional sense. They don’t prevent people from getting sick, or spreading it, apparently. Thus, even a vaccinated kid could be a “vector” to use your terminology.

Stop spreading fake information. Vaccines do prevent people from getting very sick/hospitalized/dying from COVID.

Audubon Nature Preschool is requiring the covid vaccine by January. At a 100% outdoor program. Makes no sense.

Reading comprehension is your friend. The PP didn't say vaccines didn't prevent people from getting very sick ro dying- and that isn't 100% true either- they help prevent a great deal, but don't stop. They said vaccines didn't prevent people from getting sick or from being vectors. Both are true. You put words into their writing that aren't there. Learn to read what is there and not what you want while dismissing what you don't. You are probably one of those headline readers that doesn't read the actual article and loses all the nuances and context you need to sound intelligence versus throwing out sound bites.

My kids' school is mandating the vaccine for this age group, older kids and staff already mandated. Respect.

And then what? Are they relaxing other mitigation’s? Resuming normal activities? If not, why not?

The majority of the individuals tested positive at our school this year are those who are fully vaccinated, even though they are not even in the weekly testing pool...

You can't waive suit for acts of gross negligence or acts contrary to public policy in MD, DC or VA. Waivers would provide the schools no protection.

Insurance providers are also a part of this. Schools would face extremely high premiums or cancellation of their insurance.
