[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every time I read Twitter I get so angry at these self-righteous people tweeting about how everyone should wear masks because of the "under 5s". GTFOOH. Adults should wear masks to protect other adults who are the population at highest risk of death, severe disease and long term disability from COVID. The under 5s are thankfully not at high risk. Of course I worry about DD getting COVID just like I worry about her getting injured but that doesn't mean I deprive her of social experiences or stop her from running and climbing things lest she hurt herself. She is 3 and is just learning how to interact with people and developing gross motor skills. The current CDC guidance that treats young children the same as an unvaxxed elderly person is nonsensical and harmful to young children.[/quote]

Totally agree.  Especially when some of these experts will admit that a healthy unvaxxed toddler is lower-risk than a triple vaxxed middle aged adult.  Why are these kids still being subject to masks and quarantines? It makes no sense.

That said, I don’t necessarily have a problem with FDA waiting to authorize (or not) Phizer and Moderna at the same time.  Partly because I originally got the J&J because it was the first vaccine available to me.  I wished I had waited and got one of the mRNA ones.  So if the applications are truly not going to be that far apart, I don’t think it’s a bad idea.  But there’s nothing “confusing” about that- they should just say that’s why they want to wait.  It’s just an insult because these people seem so out of touch with what parents with young kids are still subjected to.  [/quote]
