This sounds like a pretty different conclusion than CDC guidelines to have children wear masks in school. I understand it might just be to slow the spread but it seems inevitable that the virus has to move through the population and those who aren't vaccinated right now aren't going to get vaccinated in the future.
Another question no one is asking in a lot of these is should people who have had covid get one dose or two? (Pfizer / Moderna) Every study on the subject seems to point to higher immunity after one shot than people who haven't had covid getting 2. This would have greatly increased the supply and rate we could immunize others.
