[quote=Anonymous]I feel like multiple things can be true at the same time

1) It is the only gift of COVID that it has such a relatively mild impact on small children

2) Parents can determine whatever vaccines they want visitors to have had before seeing their newborns. It is a joyful time but it is also a scary and terrifying time filled with decisions that seem extraordinarily consequential and very personal and so I just as a rule accept without argument any parameters a new parent wants to set out, regardless of my personal feelings on it, and if I don't want to meet those standards, I wait without complaint for a better time

3) It is ok for you OP to decide that you don't want to get the COVID vaccine and for your teens, especially teen boys to not get the COVID vaccine. I don't get it because my experiences with COVID have been mild but the shot has a significant and unpleasant effect on my cycle that lasts for months. I got the vaccine religiously in the midst of the crisis but stopped a year or two ago. And teen boys are at the highest risk for the known cardiovascular side effect, although they are also similarly at risk from those impacts if they get COVID so not an easy decision to make.

4) You can think all of the above and hate and disagree with everyone in charge right now and the entire 'health' movement that is putting an entire generation of children at risk of preventable diseases. [/quote]
