I am increasingly convinced that schools are going to open as normal, we will see what happens, but even if, gd forbid, kids do start to get sick, things will stay open [/quote]

I know maybe you didn't mean it this way, but this was incredibly soothing.[/quote]

I'm so glad it was soothing to you (/s).  My point, since you obviously missed it, is that if things get worse, black and brown kids will be getting sick and, gd forbid, dying, with the city changing little. I'm sure you and your ilk will be totally fine with it as long as schools stay open for your child.  You might feel differently if it is, gd forbid, YOUR child or the child of one of your friends who dies.  Maybe none of that will happen, and that would be WONDERFUL.  But for you all to want, apparently, no mitigation strategies and no contingency planning for in case a future variant does have a greater impact on children, is absurd and, frankly, cruel to the people who will have to experience the brunt of your callousness.[/quote]

I am not either PP, but if all 12+ persons in our city (DC) got vaccinated, how likely would it be that masked and post travel quarantining elementary kids would catch Covid? The fact is, black and brown people (whose vaccination rates in DC are shockingly low) have a role to play in preventing not only their own children but all city children getting sick.[/quote]

Exactly. Those of us who have gotten vaccinated can and should be arguing that the "black and brown" families refusing vaccination aren't just threatening their own lives, but actively undermining the health of everyone in this city by encouraging the development of further variants (to say nothing of the economic damage of forcing further lockdowns and closures b/c they are getting COVID). I don't care one bit if that's not PC to say. From a public health perspective, they are just as much of a danger to others and morally reprehensible as the MAGA anti-vaxxers doing the same thing down south. [/quote]

Keep blaming. But while you are at it, I recommend you look earlier in this thread, for the challenges people east of the river have with getting to the place with the vaccine and the efforts made to support them. But that's too inconvenient for you to care about, I'm sure.[/quote]

Are you serious? No, you can't be.[/quote]
