[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three European families I know all got Covid through their kids going to school unmasked and unvaxxed. The child brought it home and mom and dad who work from home and are vaccinated got sick.

One family kids got very sick, other two kids were fine but had to sit at home and play nursemaid to mom and dad.

Vaccinated so very very ill but not at death's door.

All of them used to tell me vaccines were unnecessary for kids until this.[/quote]

Yes, and they tell you that because that is exactly the public health messaging in many European countries - the vaccine is available for parents who choose it, but for healthy kids it is not usually a matter of life or death whether you do or not. Which is true, and appears to have also been true for your three friends, who all survived likely without long-term sequelae, even if it was unpleasant.

For the record, my kids are vaccinated, but I don't support mandates for this age group, especially while the vaccine is still under EUA. If DCPS mandates it and then lifts the mask mandate, I will be happy about that outcome, but I would still think the vaccine mandate was an ethically questionable decision.[/quote]
