[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Oh dear.  You didn't do your homework.  There is a difference between effectiveness and efficacy.  The efficacy with a small, self-selected population was 94-95%.  The effectiveness with the general population isn't known.  Furthermore the general population represents a much wider set of health issues and the virus mutations have increased.  It is very doubtful that the vaccine will be 94-95% effective.

Please get schooled before you continue spouting lies and "facts."  Your as bad as the guy we just voted out of office if you don't.  Although you may be part of his fan club.

The final point is that children are known asymptomatic carriers and super spreaders of the virus.  A few hours in school is not worth the risk to teachers' lives.[/quote]

Well you’re all going back within the next few weeks so buck up, Buttercup. :mrgreen: Can’t wait to see you NOT get Covid because you’ve been vaccinated! [/quote]

I'm a parent you idiot.  My kids are NOT going back.  Frankly, I don't want my kids anywhere near yours; if you're such a nut job then no telling what your kids are like.  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and all that.  We all know who is going back.  Its the kids whose parents cannot control them.  The good kids are staying home out of the fray.[/quote]
