[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think public health is making a mistake by saying everyone needs to be vaccinated in schools regardless of vax status. I am very hesitant to get my kids vaccinated because they have extremely low risk if they contract COVID and all the adults in our life are vaccinated. BUT if it meant my kid go maskless at school, I would run to get them vaccinated. Now I think I’ll wait until there’s more data. I am very wary because the US and Israel seem to be the only countries going full steam ahead on getting kids vaxxed. Even countries with good supply, like the UK, are holding off. That makes me nervous, especially when kids are very, very low risk of complication if they COVID. I do realize we don’t know the long-term effects of COVID, but we also don’t know the long-term effects of the vaccine. SO i would personally wait to get my kids vaxxed unless there was a real, tangible incentive to doing so — like being able to take off their masks.

You are being selfish. My child is immunocompromised and needs your child to get vaxxed (once approved) so my child does not get seriously sick. The longer this virus circles around, even if not killing, the more it can mutate. It's about stopping community spread and not just self protection.[/quote]

The last year and a half+ has been so many soft fools espousing a position on the pandemic that is basically "it inconveniences me personally, so I'm going to ignore it and anyone who tries to do something about it, well that also inconveniences me as well"

So here's delta and soon to be epsilon? [/quote]

The best way to prevent an epsilon is not to horde our vaccine supply for kids that are very low risk. We should blanketing the world to get every adult vaccinated asap --- that's what will really stop the variants. For right now the supply is still finite and we need to share them to prevent variants around the world.[/quote]
