Another Deutschle Welle article talks about the ongoing surge in children.[/quote]

Germany- cases: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1105465/coronavirus-covid-19-cases-age-group-germany/

Children are not the main source of cases. [/quote]

They don’t have to be the “main source”…[/quote]

That was the argument of the PP- which may or may not be you, that children are the main source of the case surge in Europe. That isn't true. Sorry if you don't like data versus news stories with agendas.[/quote]

I am the poster who posted several articles citing that: 1) Europe is having large surges and 2) in both UK and Germany they are refocusing on the rate of child infections and acknowledging the need or potential need to vaccinate children. Nowhere did I state the children are the “main source” of a surge anywhere.

The point is that it is silly to say, “oh across the pond they did not vaccinate kids so why should we”, as they are clearly still evaluating the need given the large winter surges they are currently experiencing.

The data are that cases in children are rising as part of the overall surge. The articles describe that children are a part of the surges that are affecting a wider population. [/quote]

Europe is not talking about vaccinating children on any real level, they also laugh at the US and shake their heads in disbelief for forcing masks on two year olds. [/quote]

You are absolutely correct! 
My friend in Norway went to movie theater with his two elementary school aged sons. Both sons unmasked, the parent masked. This is how it should be. 
Public messaging about scientific facts has been very poor in USA, and therefore there is a breed of over-anxious parents who continuously ask for mask and vaccine mandates. 
I take my kindergarten age child to outdoor play dates with classmates and all parents ask for our kids to be masked when playing outdoors! I hold myself and not say anything but this absurdity is unbelievable. [/quote]
