[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have health anxiety due to some past medical trauma, health scares, and an autoimmune disease currently in remission, so Covid is alarming to me on many levels, especially because it’s new and we don’t know much about it like we do about other illnesses. My DH also has some underlying conditions. That said, I sent my kids back to school in masks as soon as DH and I were fully vaccinated in spring of 2021 and had them in outdoor activities etc.[b] When my kids were fully vaccinated omicron hit, [/b]which was a huge disappointment. However, I sent them to school with their KN95’s. I [b]just had my kids boosted [/b]a few weeks ago to time with going back to school again and now I feel pretty good about it. I’m also looking forward to the [b]bivalent booster,[/b] hopefully in a few weeks. My kids lives are pretty much back to normal now - [b]only thing is I make them mask in places like Target and the grocery store, or large crowds with a lot of strangers[/b]. Which isn’t a big deal to them. I listen to pediatricians with public platforms who say that if the child is fully vaccinated (and even better [b]when they can get boosted[/b]), the risk of severe disease for them is very low. Hope this helps- I think once you bite the bullet and do it, overall you’ll feel better.[/quote]

Oh my lord.  What happened to you that you’re this concerned about covid for a young child??  There are so many other important things to focus on for children.  This behavior is insane.  [/quote]

Well a child in my family has cancer and was given a small chance of survival so there’s that. Take your sociopathic behavior somewhere else.[/quote]

That is very sad but what does that have to do with covid? Covid won’t likely alter their survival rate or timeline of their cancer much if at all, and, it’s not your child so how does it  affect your families choices exactly [/quote]

without divulging personal information the child has altered lung capacity from a transplant and bc of this has significant risk to their life. Their immune system is so compromised they have to go to the ER with a fever. It’s been an incredibly traumatic 5 years since the diagnosis and on top of this, I have long term complications I have to manage from a virus and an early cancer diagnosis that was probably caused by these complications. The fact is no one knows what the long term impacts are of repeated infections bc the virus is so new. So wanting to take basic MITIGATION measures is NOT insane when it comes to unknowns and health. That’s all I will respond to about this.[/quote]
You seem to have all the answers so exactly what are you seeking here?[/quote]
