So you're willing to keep your kids out of school until children can get the vaccine?  Because that may be 2022, given that [b]they haven't started trials on kids yet.[/b][/quote]

Yes they have. https://www.keyc.com/2021/01/10/clinical-trials-underway-develop-childrens-covid-vaccine/

Will be a few months, but not years.[/quote]

Regardless of timeframe, yes, I will keep my child home until she is vaccinated. I won't send her back to school and risk her getting something that could cause her lung/heart/whoknowswhat problems the rest of her life. [/quote]

the risks of a vaccine are very likely higher than the risks of covid. the reason to vax kids is for herd immunity, to protect you in other words. [/quote]

I'm not sure that PP is thinking with all her lights on. She should probably stop driving her car with her kid or letting her child walk down the street. Too dangerous.[/quote]

Why are you attacking her for her choice?  [/quote]

The PP is just making her aware of her irrational assessment of risk.[/quote]

I think it’s completely irrational people would send their kids back in this environment.  You have to be a moron to not see the train wreck that is in front of you.  The people who want schools open aren’t thinking with all their headlights on.  See??? It goes both ways. [/quote]

Um, no. The data from areas with similar or higher community spread where schools are fully or partially open doesn't support your view.[/quote]

Did you even read up thread?  The poster was saying how dumb someone was for keeping their kid home.  This poster was pointing out how dumb people are for sending kids.

Thanks for your constant examples from wurope in a thread that didn’t ask for it. [/quote]

It's not just Europe.

And I think you are the one who didn't read. The PP didn't say someone was dumb for keeping their kid home a couple more months, she was responding to someone who said they would keep their kid home until the kid was vaccinated, regardless of time frame, because she feared for her kid's safety and long-term health. It's absolutely fair to point out how the risks of Covid for a kid compare to the risks of driving, or other everyday risks we take without thinking much.

I can totally understand why someone, at this point, would choose to keep their kids home a little bit longer. But until all kids are vaccinated? That is an extreme and irrational position, unless the child has a health condition that puts them at high risk.[/quote]
