[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well in a month or so it will only be the stupid anti-vaxxers that suffer. Can’t wait.[/quote]

You know there are kids under 5 in MCPS, right? And that there are even worse quarantine requirements for preschools and child care centers?[/quote]

Not many. In 2019-2020, there were 165,163 students total, of whom 4,576 (2.8%) were in pre-K. Plus some of the pre-K kids have already turned 5 or will soon turn 5. Everyone in kindergarten is already 5.

Obviously if your child is one of the under-fives in MCPS, it is very important. However, emergency use authorization for ages 5-11 will allow the vast, vast majority of kids in MCPS to get vaccinated. And that's good.[/quote]

And then there are all the kids in private preschools and daycare facilities who are required to follow the same MDH requirements that MCPS policies are based on.

I know it is natural for parents to be selfish and only think about their own kids, but this is why parents have so politically impotent on matters related to kids. There are always parents like you that either lose interest, or worse- actively work against- other parents once something no longer directly applies to them. That is, rather than continuing to fight for meaningful changes ridiculous quarantine policies, some parents will happily decide quarantine policies are a good way to do a backdoor vaccine mandate.

I'm not against a vaccine mandate, but we shouldn't be holding school and child care ransom to do it.[/quote]

It's selfish to say that it's a good thing that children aged 5-11 will be able to get vaccinated soon? How about that.[/quote]

It's selfish to suggest that the quarantine policies should be continued because your kids will be able to get vaccinated soon.[/quote]
