[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people aren’t opposed to vaccinating their kids, they just don’t think it’s important so they don’t bother. They’ll take their kids to the required annual checkups, the doctor will say “…and they need their COVID shot…” and the kids will get at least the first shot.

I have no basis for believing this, but it sounds good, doesn’t it?[/quote]

I don’t think this is the case for a majority of unvaccinated under the age of 11.  I think families are very wary about the new vaccine.  I also don’t think DCPS will do anything about it.  And quite frankly as a resident I would be up in arms if half the kids were denied in person schooling last year because of this vaccine mandate.  [/quote]

Frankly, as a resident and parent, I would be up in arms if ignorant AF people like PP endanger kids and disrupt education for students by evading or promoting evasion of vaccine mandates. [/quote]

I'd be with you if the vaccines actually stopped transmission. They don't. They only reduce it for a short period of time, and we are never going to boost kids every six months. With that goes the ethical justification for vaccine mandates. At this point vaccines are only about reducing your personal risk of a severe outcome. And we need to stop disrupting education over asymptomatic and mild cases.[/quote]
