Here's the reality:  nothing that you do, as an individual, will reduce or extend the length of this pandemic.

It's been 18 months; life can no longer be put on hold[/quote]

YOU are the reason this will go on for another two years. OF COURSE, you can do so much as an individual. Get vaccinated, wear a mask, don't go to super spreader events. HOW ARE WE STILL REPEATING THIS!!!!!!!?????[/quote]

Because that's what we've been doing for 18 months, and it hasn't worked.

Because nothing that my family does is going to change what people in Florida or Mississippi or Texas do.

Because no matter 'goals' are set by the decision makers, they keep changing.

I'm not going to sacrifice literally YEARS of my children's childhood for a disease which doesn't really pose us any harm, especially when the few people we need to protect won't actually protect themselves?

No, I'm vaxxed.  Spouse is vaxxed.  One child is vaxxed and the other will be when they turn 12.

But I've moved on.  [/quote]

DP.  This is reality. Covid is endemic. It is not going away. [b]We’re all going to develop immunity somehow[/b], whether through vaccination or infection, or both. An unvaccinated teen is at lower risk than a vaccinated adult. The risk to a vaccinated teen with no risk factors is miniscule. We’re not doing our kids any favors by isolating them away from covid, and other diseases, for that matter. Better that they develop immunity while they’re young and at lower risk. [/quote]

In reply to the bolded, you obviously know that people have died from Covid. Maybe you'll fully recover without longer-lasting consequences if you get sick. But if you spread it to a person at higher risk, the outcome for them could be dire. [/quote]
