[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I’m keeping my 11 year old child home until she is fully vaccinated.  We didn’t go through everything since March of 2020 to only have her get COVID (and possible long term effects) only months before a vaccine.

Ya’ll can send your kids if you really want. Go for it. MY kid’s long term health is not worth the risk and we have enough money to make it work. She’ll walk into school when she is two weeks post her 2nd shot.

Swann recently published a report that found that in a worst-case scenario, without masking in schools, an additional 70% of children could be infected with the coronavirus within three months. Her research also shows that even if masking is required in all schools, if there are no other mitigation strategies, she still expects 40% of elementary school students to be infected within three months.[/quote]

Assuming 40% is actually possible, this is also why school systems need to have robust plans for notification/testing.  Unless you all are fine making public school ES students sitting ducks.  [/quote]
