Turn off the media. It is all fear mongering and hype. For whatever reason, public health officials are ginning up fear of a new variant. It may be that they like the control and $$$. It may be that they are in bed with pharma companies making money off of vaccines. It may be something else. I don't know. But how, after the past few years, can you take anything you hear from major media outlets as anything other than a propaganda campaign? Those people unfortunately stopped being good faith actors a while ago.

Also, note that those "idiots" from red states managed to send their kids last year while you sat at home cowering in fear and waiting from the latest transmissions from CNN and MSNBC.

“ symbolic prophylactics” — so true!

Ok drop them for three days and then pick them right back off the floor and cover up that schnoz. Delta spreads outdoors and sends vaccinated people into the hospital.

Impossible to implement.

I do hope people vaccinate children. It will help reduce the chance of circulating variants in the winter.

You understand the odds of a vaccine being approved for young children before winter is basically nil, right? Maybe older elementary kids. But there is virtually no way that ECE or 1st-2nd grade kids will be able to get a vaccine in 2021, and the odds for 2022 aren't even that great.

But if 80% of adults and older kids are vaccinated, it likely won't matter. Which is one of the reasons the vaccine is likely to be approved -- it will seem to unnecessarily risky to use a relatively new vaccine on small children against a virus that exists only in very small numbers, if at all, and poses a limited risk to them. This isn't polio. All the cost/benefits of Covid are reversed from what they were during the polio crisis.

But how can this be the case if Pfizer is saying they will submit for an EUA for 5-11-year-olds in September? Or do you mean that FDA will require full approval of the vaccine? In that case I agree that kids under 12 will be waiting much longer.
