[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now it is getting real.  A teacher in DC has died of Covid that was contracted at school.  Is getting a few hours of inperson school really worth it?  I don't think so.  This is why we're keeping our kids DL. [b] No teacher is going to get sick and die because we're stubbornly and insanely screeching that school buildings need to be open.[/b]

That’s why teachers are getting vaccinated (the title of this thread).[/quote]

None of the vaccines are 100% effective and the 94-95% efficacy has only been shown with small numbers of self-selected people and not the general population.  Even Fauci and the CDC admit that the verdict is still out on the effectiveness of the current vaccines.  (Side note:  look up the difference between the term "efficacy" and the term "effectiveness" before responding.)  In this case the teacher's family attest that she contracted the virus because of her job as a teacher at Ballou.  Since you don't know her and her family does, I think I'll take their word for it over yours.[/quote]

Omg. 95% effective is excellent for any vaccine. And they were all nearly 100% effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths. Even the Johnson & Johnson vaccine which was less effective at preventing illness still kept study participants out of the hospital! Not addressing any points about the teachers death here but you have got to stop the breathless fear-mongering. [/quote]
