[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vaccines DO decrease risk of transmission. Just not down to zero. Please, stick with facts. [/quote]

18:34 here. Can you read? I literally said that the vaccines reduce transmission. But it is a fact that this effect wanes pretty quickly. Please, stick with the facts. And if the vaccines only *slightly* reduce transmission after a few months, the ethical justification for mandates becomes weak, and mandates become unwise because their benefit to society isn't worth the divisions they cause.[/quote]

And to add, for the record, my kids are fully vaccinated. And I actually kind of wish there will be a mandate because I think that might be the only way to get the mask mandate for schools ended. I still question the ethics of vaccine mandates, especially for kids, if the decrease in transmission is less than 50%, as it appears to be with Omicron, and if that effect is so short-lived.[/quote]

I think the saddest part is, parents stopped trusting DC government so much throughout the pandemic, they would never believe any promises to lift mask mandates in exchange to keeping  vaccine mandate (not that DC ever bothered to promise something, but hypothetically). [/quote]
