- thephyber 5y agoIt depends what you think the intent of vaccination is. The 3 vaccines authorized / approved in the USA all significantly reduce the probability of severe disease, the duration of contagiousness, and the magnitude of contagiousness. I would agree that severe disease is already exceedingly rare among that population, but the contagiousness issue is more of a trade off of multiple factors.

Young males infected with the virus are up 6 times more likely to develop myocarditis as those who have received the vaccine. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.23.21260998v1.full.pdf https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.23.21260998v...
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoAnd here to me, knower of basic biology and observer of children, know that children spread viruses. I sorta caught COVID from my kid and stuff. She sat in a class for 3 days with another infected child whose parents knew the child was infected but who also did not have an adequate plan in place to care for him during the day. It was a complete shitshow, and I permanently lost most of my sense of smell. But thanks for your information.
