This. And also: unvaccinated kids aren't stuffing hospitals either. We are vaccinating our kids (one already and the other will be vaccinated when they turn 5) but we know a lot of people who are "waiting" for their young kids especially, and we were worried about it originally but... it's been fine. Teachers are vaccinated, all these kids parents are vaccinated. I have reached the point where it's just very obvious to me that kids and especially young kids, are not a major vector for this virus.

We also have friends in red states where the unvaccinated rate is much higher than here, and where at different point they have actually banned masking in schools. And while I have zero interested in living somewhere where people won't vaccinate at all and where the governor will tell schools they aren't allowed to mask, it's notable to me that none of these friends have experienced rampant Covid spread in those schools, even during Omicron. And they don't quarantine like we do here either. They get notified of positive cases in the school and in theory could keep their kids home, but when it became clear that these cases were not going to lead to outbreaks, why?

I'm a bleeding heart liberal but I think a lot of liberals have lost their minds on this issue and become detached from reality. I will never vote GOP but I'm sure not going to vote for the party of virtual school and permanent masking of kindergarteners either. I think some people need to get treatment for their anxiety and take a step back on this one because we are not headed in a good direction at the moment. A course correction is needed.[/quote]
