[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of these kids are vaccinated by now.  Delta is going to infect some, no matter what.  They'll be sick and get over it.  Life goes on, OP.  [/quote]

This.  We are talking about fully vaccinated 18-22 year olds.  They will almost certainly be fine if they get COVID.  [/quote]

I’m a different poster.

The mortality rate for young people is low. The percentage of vaccinated young people who get long Covid may be low.  But I don’t think anyone has done a great job of slot testing the whole population, or whole vaccinated population, for issues like Covid lung, fatigue, anxiety, memory problems, fatigue or fertility problems.

Vaccinated young people with Covid may not develop those sorts of problems, but it might take 50
years or more for the data to firm up.

Just as, for example, scientist are still debating whether the 1968 flu pandemic caused schizophrenia in some pregnant women’s fetuses: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2009-06-pregnancy-flu-link-schizophrenia.html

We may have no real choice but to send our children off to college and hope for the best, but maybe it’s good if we have some humility and prayers in our hearts when we do that.
