[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is this you?

If so, I want to start by saying that it's great you were able to overcome your fear of the vaccine to get your family vaccinated!  Can you revisit some of the logic you were able to use for that here?  Again, you are faced with a situation where an objectively low risk activity (vaccination, pre-k for a vaccinated kid) poses significant benefits to you and your family but you're hung up on the small risk.

If you're not that poster, I will say the same thing I said to her, which is that sitting still and doing nothing isn't risk-free either.  Keeping your 4.5yo home indefinitely is not a solution; they need socialization and education.  At some point in a little over ten years, they'll be driving a car.  At some point, you have to let a little bit of risk into your life.[/quote]

OP here you’re a smarty DCUM-er :) I never know who writes these but yes that’s me.
I ended up getting a vaccine pregnant, then both kiddos, and now we are boosted too. Still no covid for us. Thank you for the advice I should revisit that thought process I ended up with writing out lists and talking to husband. It’s unfortunate our only “exposure” to this has been my mom and sister who are having issues, sister in particular who just last night had to call ambulance from heart irregularity, all issues post covid.  But I know that’s her and her experience and I have to evaluate different factors and what’s best for family. [/quote]
