They are saying the best protection we can give unvaccinated children is for the adults in the household to be vaccinated. The same would apply to protecting 12-17 year olds.  Adults should vaccinate now.[/quote]

An even better way to protect 12-17 year olds is for them to get vaxxed themselves. In a situation in which less than 10% of them are vaccinated, focusing on the adults who -- even in the worse case -- are 3 times more likely to be vaxxed is not the most effective strategy.

Please do not feed into these arguments. It is important for every single eligible person age 12-17 and all adults 18 and older to get vaccinated. There is no sense in arguing which is more preferred. This is an all hands on deck moment in history.

It is not us vs. them. [/quote]

This.  I am perplexed by this move to blame children in order to deflect from adults not getting vaxed, particularly the adults that are around children (parents and school workers).  It's that same argument that "it doesn't matter if teachers don't get vaxxed because there will be children in the room that aren't vaxxed."  It makes no sense from a logic perspective, and no sense from a public health perspective.[/quote]
