[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a theory! 
I bet the people who still have or plan to have 11 year olds in boosters are the SAME people who are still masking indoors. I also bet the people who stopped using boosters early or the second they could get away with transitioning are the SAME people who resented masking and stopped as soon as they were allowed.

Not even close. My 11 year old still uses a booster because her height/weight indicates that she needs it. We dropped masks at school the second it was permitted, and I have never once put my kids in an n95 respirator. Why? Covid is very low risk to kids. Car accidents otoh are a major cause of death in children and you can’t control what lunatics are doing on the highway. [/quote]

Exactly. It is a painless way to prevent or mitigate one of the most dangerous things kids do. So weird how ppl push so hard against it. [/quote]

You know that people who don’t make 11 year olds sit in boosters use seat belts, right? Seat belts are very effective. The kids aren’t less safe. [/quote]

Seat belts are designed for and tested in adult sized bodies. If your kid is of that size, great! If someone with a smaller child wants to use a booster to make the adult sized seatbelt fit properly, then they should be able to do that without grandma etc criticizing them. That is the entire point of this thread. [/quote]

Own your choices, and also own the fact that you can't control other people's words and actions. You sound like the same posters who want to forbid older people from telling young parents how much they will "miss these days." Get over yourself. [/quote]
