The more parents are educated the more they know, the more they dig in. I am guessing that those who are happy with mandate will cluster in specific schools and said parents will avoid them. There will be schools that don’t mandate and will leave it up to parents, and they will attract a more diverse group of parents.

Another Deutschle Welle article talks about the ongoing surge in children.

Children are not the main source of cases.
They don’t have to be the “main source”…
That was the argument of the PP- which may or may not be you, that children are the main source of the case surge in Europe. That isn't true. Sorry if you don't like data versus news stories with agendas.

People don’t seem to understand that myocarditis wasn’t seen at all in the 5-11 age group. Every child that got myocarditis was 12-17.
I believe the 5 - 11 test group was too small to show up myocarditis cases. We will know better in a few weeks if there is a problem.
Unless all those screened for silent myocarditis, whether they have symptoms or not, we will never know the magnitude of the problem.
I am aware of a youth sports team doing this screening and finding 3% rate of silent myocarditis. These screenings should be mandatory if we want to see the data.

Outside the WDC bubble the child vaccination rate will be well under 50%. Maybe inside too. Highly educated people have a lower than average vaccination rate.

No one is making anyone vaccine their child and nowhere else has there been such ill regard for children nor a lack of understanding for their specific needs and how they play a role, or don't, in the pandemic other than constant disruptions to their normal development and education.

The schools that do decide to mandate will be very very popular choices for many families.

I think a midyear mandate is difficult bc people have signed contracts. I think there will be a mandate next year. Right now we're just strongly encouraged to vaccinate.

Which allowed it to be approved w caveats with only a 2000 kid study and only 6 months of longitudinal data, and a 25+ page liability waiver putting care of duty to the parental level, plus no one in the control group was ever getting sick so the data is statistically insignificant.
Basically it’s a bet.
A gamble that maybe it will help something sometime and not have any short term, medium term or long term negative effects. mRNA drug delivery system for pre-pubescent children.
USA is only country considering it. Other developed countries looked at the data and saw no reason for children to get innoculated- they were transmitting, they weren’t getting infected, and if they were they rarely got sick or had symptoms.
The effects of LongCOVID are real. I will be happy to take "the bet."
+1
Absolutely no hesitance to get vaccine - far safer than winging it with COVID. Increasing numbers of younger children ending up in ICU with severe COVID. Plus children can pass onto older relatives and other vulnerable adults in their lives.
Our private is highly recommending but not mandating .weekly
Tests required for unvaccinated children though.
That is good but even better IMO would be a mandate unless there is a medical exemption. That is what I would want for as an environment for my students. My older student is in such an environment with a vax requirements and it is working really well.
