Yeah vaccines provide moderate protection generally. What provides the bulk of the protection is herd immunity. To get functional herd immunity you need to vaccinate children.

- Gibbon1 5y agoMentionable is a lot of especially poorer kids live in multigenerational households. Children can get infectd with covid in school and then infect their grandparents that live with them. I like to point out having their parents and grandparents get sick and die from Covid has a huge negative effect on children. That vastly outweighs the minimal risk of vaccination. Something like 50,000 children have lost a parent. And a few million children have lost a grandparent. That's bad.
