Test to stay is a good idea.  But kids 5+ will start to vaccinate in a week.  What is the point of the effort/money?  No one is going to quarantine any longer unless they are positive.[/quote]

The precautionary principle should be that kids be in school, especially since we know vaccine hesitancy for adults was highest in the African American community (still is - https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/latest-data-on-covid-19-vaccinations-by-race-ethnicity/).  It is the most equitable solution by far.

Another reason is this is an EUA, not a full approval, and some FDA panel members were very vocal it should not be mandated to go to school (which is essentially what you're doing if the option is get vaccinated with a non-fully approved vaccine or possibly stay out of school for 6+ days). 1 even abstained on the vote he was so opposed to it possibly being mandated.

Something like 2/3 of parents nationwide have concerns with vaccinating their healthy children considering it's not fully approved yet. That's a lot of kids who could be unnecessarily locked out of school if there's no test to stay.  Those kids have no responsibility over the decisions of their parents and they should not be punished for a non-fully approved vaccine.

Here's Dr. Cody Meissner on the FDA panel this week (he voted to approve, but was very vocal about not mandating it): [twitter]https://twitter.com/justin_hart/status/1453087502529560579?s=20[/twitter][/quote]
