[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is about everybody, not just our individual families.  It's about the kid who is asymptomatic but got it from his asymptomatic brother and who spreads it to a classmate who takes it home to her mom who is immunocompromised because she is undergoing chemo for cancer, or to her granddad who was vaccinated but has a severe breakthrough infection that lands him in the hospital.  Kids are largely asymptomatic and unlikely to get seriously sick thank god, but others are not so lucky.  Over 650,000 deaths is a horrible reality, it is not fear mongering to ask everyone to take one small free step to try to prevent the spread.    [/quote]

The death toll is tragic and includes some of my family members. My aunt made a choice not to get vaccinated and caught covid at Fourth of July barbecue, and she died in August after an extremely painful struggle.

We need to stop blaming children for killing off grandparents as if they are the only point of contact to the outside world. Many people (except maybe in the DC area) are back in offices, going to restaurants, concerts, church, and more. Focus on mandates for grown-ups to get vaccinated and wear masks when appropriate.
