You really think that type of comment is going to convince anyone?[/quote]

I’m not the PP, but if someone has refused to get themselves or their children vaccinated in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence regarding its safety and efficacy, nothing will convince them. You can’t get through to someone like that. My friend is an ER doctor in the south, and she said even after people had been put on a vent, they refused to get vaxxed, claiming Covid was mild for most. There is nothing more anyone can say or do to break through to people who are so blind to facts. But they are idiots to not get vaccinated at this point, and I very much hope all the schools in the area require it. [/quote]

Whether or not the vaccine benefits outweigh the risk for very specific age groups and genders is debatable. Many people have vaccinated themselves while making more cautious decisions for their children. The fact that a child is not vaccinated does not make parents idiots. Do you call the parents in a good portion of Europe idiots because it is no longer recommended for healthy children to get vaccinated, since their health departments determined the risk did not outweigh the benefits?
