[quote=Anonymous]Omicron has completely changed the game as far as vaccines go. NY and LA are some of the highest vaccinated cities and mask compliant with universal mask and vaccine mandates in place. They have had huge surges in cases that have looked exactly like areas without these mandates. Vaccines help prevent high risk people from hospitalization… that’s where they make a difference. People need to let this idea go that these measures stop this virus from spreading… it’s clearly not the case and I’m not sure how anyone that isn’t actively putting their head in the sand or only going to 1 source for all their info can still be holding on to stances from a year and several variants ago. Countries all over the world are dropping their mitigations. Countries all over the world are putting out guidance on not recommending vaccination for healthy kids due to the risk/benefit. Those things aren’t opinion or anti-vax it is just facts. Are Denmark, Sweden, UK, Finland, Norway, Iceland (pretty sure there’s a few more) all right wing astroturf countries who hate their kids and want at risk people to die? They’ve never masked kids in school and aren’t recommending COVID vaccines for healthy children… None of those fit the narrative around here. Are the evil right winger groups infiltrating these countries and out to get people all over the world? Lol. How does that argument even hold water?

I went through the Twitter account and it seems pretty disingenuous that people want to act like pointing out facts and pushing for normalcy for kids is some agenda beyond wanting the best for kids and families and sharing information so people are informed and maybe more at ease.

Frankly it’s exhausting and tiresome watching people act like they are winning some moral superiority prize in this town when really what they are doing is operating off the projections of their own fears and anxieties as opposed to actual risk. Most people have been extremely kind and supportive the past two years, including our family who do want others to feel safe but, how long are we going to keep holding people hostage and judging because group think is keeping many totally out of touch with how COVID currently compares with other daily things we face? It’s become ridiculous. COVID isn’t going away. There will always be at risk people, just like there was before COVID. Vaccines put those at risk in-line with other viruses they have always faced. Kids under 5 aren’t at real risk. RSV is scarier. People want to move forward with their lives but are afraid to do so, not because of COVID but because they don’t want to upset others or be judged for it and that’s toxic as hell. It needs to stop.
