[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like [b]residents [/b]in some Wards don't want to vaccinate their kids but want everyone who did to mask up to "protect" them? (Even though as omicron showed, masks aren't all that protective in any case).

This is just ridiculous.

"Some [b]educators [/b]in Wards 7 and 8, areas of the city with schools that educate mostly Black students, are worried dropping the mask requirement could disproportionately hurt Black students.

COVID-19 vaccination rates among Black children lag behind their white, Hispanic and Asian peers."

I think it's pertinent to separate the residents and the educators, here.  I don't think the DCist article provides a good window into what Ward 7 and 8 residents think, as the people (person?) asked were teachers.  I can hazard a guess that one of the "Ward 7 educators" interviewed was Laura No Fuchs Left to Give.  She's not really known for....well....rationality.  [/quote]

Some [b]educators[/b] are [b]"worried"...[/b] not very scientific! And [b]"it could hurt..."[/b]

The journalist should have asked more questions beyond someone's "feeling".[/quote]
