Is Europe Wrong About Covid Masking and Vaccines for Children? Or Are We?

• peteradio 5y ago
  In this premise: Europe = Leave little kids out of it, kids with certain comorbidities can have special precaution. America (California flava) = Vaccinate little kids to protect them (and if that dubious assertion is challenged) actually wait its to protect the vaccinated adults. Those are definitely simplifications but I think its pretty much where things lie in my slanted view.

    Well, UK waited to vaccinate 12-15 year olds and got about 10% of the infected very fast before they realized their error. Not a good outcome.
