[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When 90% of kids 5-11 in these schools have been vaccinated over the next few weeks here are going to be the choices presented:

1. Mandate vaccines and potentially replace 10% of this age group. Given the waitlists to get into these schools, I doubt it will be a problem. 
2. Run the school like the students all aren't vaccinated and cater to 10% of the school population. 
3. Separate the kids who aren't vaccinated into their own classes with different protocols as restrictions ease.

All of the Upper Schools had the same choices and what did they do?...[/quote]

Unfortunately, they did #2[/quote]

The FDA explicitly said COVID vaccines should not be mandated for this age group, it was actually one of the basis for their hesitation in approving but they erred on the side of wanting the vaccine to be available to those who would potentially benefit from it. I love how in DC- the cautioned approval turns into in two months, mandates for all. So much for believing in the experts, listening to them, and "science"[/quote]

And it is a private school, they can make their own rules. If you don't like it, pull your kid.[/quote]

So this isi the current problem with both the right and left. I said nothing about whether I agreed or not with any vaccine mandate, I didn't provide my opinion. I provided facts. The facts are the FDA said mandates should not be made. The facts are, a lot of schools have in fact turned to mandates. The facts are, in this area, a lot of people have yelled "believe in the science", "listen to the experts" and lambasted the right for not doing so when now, and throughtout the pandemic they have also not done so. Those are facts and you, turn around and say- if you don't like it leave. If I don't like facts leave? Is it now not possible to share actual facts and if people don't agree with them, that some how makes them not true and they shouldn't be shared? That is super scary stuff, especially when we are talking about schools and centers for learning when facts, can not be provided and someone assumes they are opinion if they don't like them.[/quote]

You are so on point. My thoughts exactly. I guess you had have actually taken the time to watch the FDA meeting.[/quote]
