[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not an anti-vaxer.  My wife and I signed up as soon as we were able to in VA and have been fully vaccinated since May, but currently I would not vaccinated my elementary school age boys against COVID.  The risks for "mild myocardia" are much higher than the risks to them from COVID itself.  If you do any research on what the CDC considers "mild" you might be astonished.  Admission to the ER, 10 days in the PICU, long lasting damage to the heart. These don't sound mild to me.

Given the very low COVID case levels in the US right now, the risks of COVID seem to minor in comparison.  At a minimum I'd like to see a lot more data come out on this.  Maybe the dosing for kids needs to be less.  Maybe kids can get by with a single shot, since most issues seem related to the 2nd shot.[/quote]

I feel the same way. I am not planning to vax my kids, and I’m shocked that all my friends seem to be so set on vaxxing theirs.[/quote]

My ES kids want the vaccine.  They want to take their masks off.

Have you talked to your kids?[/quote]

Vaxxed or not, it’s probably better to keep your mask on.  And your kids.

Masks will likely be required in schools, even with a vaccine available.

DP here, but I have talked to my kids and both are fine continuing with masks and not taking the risk yet with a brand new vaccine.  [/quote]

I respect your position on that. I might have made the same calculation with the original disease.  My concern with Delta is that masks won't stop large amounts of infections in schools knowing that mask adherence will never be perfect.  That bums me out. [/quote]

DP. Do we actually have data yet how delta spreads in a classroom setting when masks are worn?[/quote]
