tbh the concept of herd immunity doesn't care about who the law says can get vaccinated
- angelzen 5y agoAn unvaccinated child has less chance of severe covid compared to a vaccinated adult. Covid is different between child and adults, reasonable to hypothesize that transmission is also different. > Evidence from studies primarily done before vaccine approval for those 12 years of age and older suggests that staff-to-staff transmission is more common than transmission from students to staff, staff to student, or student to student. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/transmission_k_12_schools.html#sars-cov-2 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-br...
