- loeg 6y agoYou know most parents with "kids" are under 50, right? OP is complaining that the vaccination rate <50 is too low.
- input_sh 6y agoBecause vaccines are never 100% effective, and there are plenty of people who legitly can't receive one due to other medical conditions.
- incrudible 6y agoAn honest question: At what point should we stop trading the healthy development of children for a reduction of risk for certain vulnerable parts of the population?
- alistairSH 6y agoThat statement is demonstrably false. UK is only at 8% vaccination rate overall. 60% of eligible adults have had a single dose, but that 60% is heavily biased to the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions.
- nicoburns 6y agoThe single dose has been shown to provide good protection in the short term, so the 60% number is more relevant than the 8% one. Although percentage of total population rather than adult population would probably be a more accurate representation.
- Kaze404 6y agoWhat's your solution to kids that have young parents? Every child of people 50+ years old go back to school, and the others stay behind?
- nicoburns 6y agoYoung parents are also much less likely to get severely ill than older parents.
- Kaze404 6y agoSo the ones that do get infected and die are just part of the sacrifice?
- samr71 6y agoPeople die of the seasonal flu all the time too. We don't shut life down over it. Covid is much much worse than the seasonal flu for many people. For others, it's less dangerous. That said, people still get hit with it. You can't get to 0
- Kaze404 6y agoI don't understand the point of your comment if you admit that Covid is much worse than the seasonal flu. We don't shut life down over the season flu, but we might for a much more dangerous disease. That's the whole point.
