You do realize that elderly are eligible for the vaccine. So if a teacher can get the vaccine and the elderly people she takes care of can also get the vaccine, what’s the problem?[/quote]

[quote=Anonymous] Correct me if I'm wrong but none of the vaccines are 100% effective AND no one has proven that the vaccinated cannot be carriers.  Even the CDC says that this is unproven.  So the teacher is correct in being concerned.  [b]I would be beside myself if I infected my parents.[/b]  I don't blame the teacher one bit for valuing her parents lives more than teaching in person.[/quote]

The point being made is, whether or not the vaccinated teacher can spread it to his/her elderly parents is immaterial. If they are also vaccinated, they won't get extremely sick even if they DO catch it. Folks, we are going to be living in a world where COVID makes rounds every year, and we will get vaccinated every year. We will have to figure out a way to start accepting that yes, there may be some infinitesimal risk of living life in the world even when we are vaccinated. But damn, we are not going to shut down schools and society to cater a group of people who want to curl up in the fetal position for the rest of their lives. Let's stop moving the goalposts and make some rational public policy decisions.

Once teachers and the elderly get vaccinated, there will, and should be, pressure for kids to return to school with masks on. [/quote]
