[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Washpost article says:

Just 25 percent of D.C. children between the ages of 5-11 are fully vaccinated, according to city data. There are wide disparities in vaccination rates between wards, so in many schools the youth vaccination rate is likely far lower than that.

Why does this even matter in light of the Pfizer news today that the vaccine is basically ineffective in kids??  It's a big blow, I get it, but seems that this shouldn't even be a factor now.[/quote]

Oh god that's not what the Pfizer study says.  I realize the title of the thread in the Health forum says that, but the study shows the vaccine sucks at preventing infection but still is effective at reducing severe illness.

Anyway, I agree that vaccination kind of is a bad way to look at it when the baseline risk is so low to begin with.  Plus masks in school setting have even more questionable efficacy in school settings.

This is just people being wildly unable to assess risk.[/quote]
