[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours in VA is mandating vaccines.  First shot has to be done by August.  So grateful; I would only choose a preschool with a vaccine mandate.[/quote]

Why is that?  You know the vaccines don't do much to protect against symptomatic disease, and there's no evidence they protect against severe disease in this age group?[/quote]

This is not true.  Scroll down to the 10:20 AM update.

The confidence interval in that slide is enormous.  It means you can't make heads or tails of the data. Sorry, that's extremely weak if that's your "evidence."

The confidence interval is 32.4-67.9; i.e. well above 0.  The vaccine clearly prevents infection.[/quote]

How long does it prevent infection? For the couple of weeks that the trial followed the kids? Should toddlers be getting boosters every few months because vaccine efficacy wanes so quickly?[/quote]

Don't even know why I'm biting, but sure.  A booster every 6 months or so.  Why not?

In the link, it shows that the immune response to the vaccine is consistent across all age groups.  Are you saying adults shouldn't get the vaccine?[/quote]

I'm saying that the risks of covid to young children are far lower than the risks of covid for adults--by several orders of magnitude.   Therefore the risk/benefit calculation of vaccination and repeated boosters is extremely different.  Should my elderly parents keep getting boosters?  Probably, because the risk of death and severe disease of covid are so high for that age group.  Should my healthy toddler who likely has already been exposed to the virus get vaccinated and get endless boosters when there doesn't seem to be a clear benefit and the risks to him from the virus are so low?  Probably not.   [/quote]
