[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is inevitable that we all eventually get it, I at least don’t want to be an “early adopter.” There is still so much unknown about this disease. I prefer having the experiential knowledge and research about best treatments. For example, they now know positioning people prone is more helpful than ventilators. But they still don’t understand much about strokes in non-elderly adults or MIS-C in kids. No thanks. [/quote]

We know that even if you don't die, recovery can be very long and difficult.  We know that the disease can cause serious damage to the lungs and heart, among other things.  We don't know much about the medium- to long-term effects, including damage to the lungs, hearts, other organs, or the immune system.  The longer it's been around, the more we learn.  We also learn more about effective treatments and medications.  If I'm going to get it, I'd rather get it when doctors and scientists have had the opportunity to observe and learn how best to manage it, and how to minimize or cope with the longer-term effects.

But someone has to be the first to get it and die, or the first to get it and survive with disabilities, or the first to get it but have other complications, right?  And if the medical community must make mistakes in treating people at first so that they can learn more about the disease, won't it be better that OP and her kids are first and not us?

OP, I thank you on behalf of the safe people to take the chance on your own and your children's life.  You are like the most brave wildebeest that plunges into the river full of crocodiles.  Thank you for your sacrifice.
