[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids also need to get vaccinated otherwise the variants just continue to spread and kill people [/quote]

Won’t be a pediatric vaccine for years if ever. This is an idiotic stance. [/quote]

False. https://www.propublica.org/article/fauci-vaccines-kids

You can bet that if there's a vaccine for kids on the horizon the school systems will wait to wait until it's widely available to go back to normal 5 days a week school.[/quote]

I have tremendous respect for Fauci (and unlike many, knew who he was before 2020), but he is not an oracle, and sometimes he has just thrown out an idea.  Remember “immunity passports”?  Remember the times he stood with Trump and Birx and crazy shit was said?  So, this doesn’t mean a vaccine is on the horizon, like we can see it.  It means he has an idea.  This is therefore not a good call for any school system to use as part of their plan for full-time school.  APS and others need to plan for what happens if things are only marginally better this fall, or not.  If a vaccine is available under EUA for kids then it will not be required for school attendance.  If we are collectively comfortable saying kids get completely de-prioritized for yet another year, then fine, but it’s not okay with me. [/quote]

Where did I say there's a vaccine for kids on the horizon right now? I am saying that come August or September if there is a vaccine on the horizon, school systems are going to push to wait until it's widely available  before opening for 5 day as normal. I also never said it should be required for kids in order to attend school. I'm saying they are going to want to wait until it's *available* if it looks like it's happening soon.

You can keep living in your dream world of what you want and think should happen. I will live in the real world where we have seen what kinds of decisions the local school boards have been making. They are risk averse and that isn't going to change just because of your opinion.[/quote]
