[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some of you misunderstand how vaccines are used as a public health tool. They are supposed to drive down community transition , not ensure that each and every individual is protected from a disease. And they are doing a great job. As pp’s have noted, community transmission is almost nil in parts of our region. Any further rules and measures should be driven by community transmission rates.[/quote]
In less than a month, there will be no rational, logical reason to keep any remaining measures in place.[b] By the time school starts in the fall, there won't even be a need to require kids to be vaccinated.[/b] [/quote]

Exactly.  Many doubt that the vaccine will ever be approved for little kids because the risk of vaccinating kids may quickly become greater than any risk they have from Covid.
 
Let's say the risk of them dying from Covid becomes 1:2,000,000.  The risk of them dying from Covid vaccination could be 1:1,000,000.  The FDA is not going to approve this. 
It will be interesting to see what happens.   [/quote]

What medical professionals doubt the vaccine will be approved? [/quote]
